But really it's all just "suppositions".
It could even end up disrupting the election.

not only that, wasn't it "superstorm" last year or the year before? wasn't this epic apocalyptic maelstrom supposed to hit the east coast up around jersey? i remember playing on online PC game during that time with a dude who was in jersey and when he talked over coms you could hear the thunder so we were asking him about it...he was like "it's a thunderstorm"

If anything happens to her house I think she'll go postal.
Come get a taste of my weather, you'll be kissing the ground when you get back home. Fkn hurricanes every year and people shitting themselves trying to get water and canned food...
I lived in houston when a hurricane hit and i decided to stay in town just to experience the clusterfuck. I wasnt dissappointed lol
Yeah it's a fucking mad house. We've had andrew, gustav, katrina, rita, ike, and whatever the bitch ass hurricane that hit a couple months ago. Countless tornados and floods as well.
Fucking sucks ass. 110 in the summer with 98% humidity lol I miss San Diego weather!
It's been nice this week though

its set to hit THE MOST densely populated area in the nation...so thats a fairly ignorant statement
Yeah, but all of CT will just mosey down for some expensive coffee in their Stepford homes and look at magazines for new mink house shoes.
We don't have shit but sticks and dirt
and yeah...i would go postal...
Im pretty screwed with one tree in the yard...the rest have already been cut back
generator is set to go
truck and the brother in laws fuckis (focus) are fueled up--this because none of the gas stations around the area have generators so couldnt get fuel last time
chain saws have either new or sharpened chains..so were set to clear paths for downed trees this go around
gas for the cooktop is gtg
we haven't gone nuts but were in good shape for an extended power outage
and everyone is afraid of this happening again..like last yr

We had a fucked up freak ice storm in 95 and were without power for two weeks. In E Texas....noone knew wtf to do lol we used a propane fish fryer base and the fireplace to heat the house and kept it ventilated.

So you're irritated with the government and the media for more preparedness in the event of a large weather event??
You're right. That makes more sense.
In the case of katrina, which was decidedly tragic, local and federal government was warned well in advance the levees were in bad shape.
Make whatever political rant/slant of it what you will.
I know everyone here is concerned about the loss of power again because like last year we hit freezing temps at night. There were several deaths related to Storm Alfred last October and all were related to heat in some way or form (carbon monoxide/fire).
I can say with totally accuracy that literally every single power line was ripped down in my town and in towns on either side of me. Just not being able to get fuel or access cash (no banks or atms) was crippling.Local restaurants that had gas but not back up generators were literally cooking and giving away food so it didn't go to waste.
On a funny note, for that storm, my neighbors were absolutely amazed that my husband and I came outside with fresh hot coffee. It didn't occur to them to pour boiling water through their coffee maker..lol

Rookies! lol
I do not miss living in CT I lived near the casinos and it sucked last year. I move to mass and low ad behold I live right on the ocean now New England sucks.
lol..no shit
Its simply a matter of "in my backyard" syndrome. Nobody gives a shit about it but if its on the eastern seaboard, uh oh we better take care of it.
yeah probably...to be fair the eastern seaboard is a big deal economically for the nation so I think this is where it gets alarmist
^^^^. True gajillion of dollars move on the east coast everyday
I know personally Im concerned and hopefully prepared...and a bit sad Im not on any emergency teams anymore (to help other peeps out) but I'm not freaked.
Theres one tree in my yard that may pose a problem for the service coming to my house..but theres nothing I can do about it before the storm...so screw it.
I'm not seeing a lot of panic locally...people are fueling up but being civil...grocery stores put out a lot of bottled water but no ones fighting over it..batteries are selling out at big box stores but again, no fighting over it...grocery stores seemed a normal amount of busy for a weekend...
I know coastal communities are evacuating but that's simply prudent because the buoys are registering high surges ahead of the storm and it looks like the swells will breach storm walls ..and people boarded up property along the coast but it hasn't been chaotic by any stretch.
I spent yesterday making sure all of my clients were all set with tree limbs/trees (not in my job description but screw it), making sure roofs that needed to be tarped were situated, materials were secure and in general asked if everyone was set with water, batteries, heat alternatives etc and told em to call if they had big probs because I could probably get to them and help if I could.
meh, we'll see what happens

right.....
something that never occurred to me either was the sub base...they sent their subs out from what I understand to have them ride it out at the bottom of the ocean.
Did put in new batteries in all ur vibrators?

yes.....and quickly tested to make theyre gtg
They did my dad was stationed there before he retired and his friends all just went out over the past few days.
Eb has to pull in their dry docks to
Groton, new London will be a mess most likely
You must really like living there to have to deal with that. I don't think anyone could force me to live in an area where my house could get wiped out every year.
All joking aside, my thoughts and prayers will be with all who lives in the areas that are threatened by this, I too couldn't imagine living in those areas being born and raised in California, we just have the earthquakes that can decimate us at anytime but its the pros and cons of where we choose to live. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best...hopefully everyone can seek safety for their families...especially the children

I was just watching the weather channel and they were showing the path of the storm.
It literally looks like it's going to land on my house! NOT JOKING, we are right in the middle of it.
I have my generator set up, extension cords run,food,water candles ,flashlights, extra gasoline , both vehicles filled up.
All I know is my TV better be working for the Walking Dead tonight or I'm going to lose my fucking mind having to wait another week!

Why?
The generator and the can are both full .
I have enough to run the generator for almost 48 hours straight.
Worse come to worse I have a hose.

Fitguy has taking more black then Chloe and Kim put together.
because many people may fill the car with fuel, but a tree will keep it from moving as well as the garage falling on the car..
so a manual or a pump powered by an electric/battery drill is best for getting it out..

I could agree with that if most of my work wasn't there.
We are about to loose power.
There is a tree laying on the lines about 100 feet from my house.
happens in the same spot every time.
Emergency vehicles are there now.
They said the lines are smoking so get ready.
Wind is really starting to pick up now.
Shits getting a lil real.
Dogs could care less lol

holy fuck so they weren't kidding about this storm. Fucking cars floating down the street in lower manhattan. We're even getting a shit ton of rain here in NE OH. That fucker was 800 miles wide. I heard today that pittsburgh might get part of the "actual" hurricane...wow, Pittsburgh. I sure hope Heinz field doens't do something crazy like sink into the river and the steelers don't have to like.....leave the NFL or something like that.
Well, one thing that will be etched in my mind ... my husband's company is notorious for not closing except when a state of emergency has been declared. He was told to stay home yesterday and today. Malls all around us closed. Unprecedented considering there's no ice or snow.
Obviously we have power and internet, also cable, in addition to plenty of food, water, batteries, candles, flashlights, coolers and pet food ... unfortunately I have run out of both wine and vodka, which displays an unfortunate lack of foresight on my behalf.

We had one last year,it did much more damage in my area.
Jersey shore and parts of Manhattan are pretty thoroughly fucked, a good portion of Atlantic city's boardwalk went bye-bye ... and they changed their minds and called my hubby in, now I don't know what to do with myself today, weather is still shitty out there.
coast of ct is fucked...theyre not letting anyone back into their homes
