Hurricane Sandy (1 Viewer)

If New York gets hammered by storm surge, are we going to see threads about how a city shouldn't be built that's so vulnerable to hurricanes/storm surge??
No. NYC has redeeming qualities.
NOLA > NYC IMO
New York is a great, unique city.So is New Orleans.The fact that people can't see that is sad.
Alright take this elsewhere. I love and supported NOLA through K, it deserves to stand as does NYC. Come on now.
Agree completely. No offense intended.
:hifive: I didn't think you did. Most cities are on water, thats what makes them significant cities, so this is the risk they all run. Just hoping for the best for everyone here.
 
Audio feed is definitely more "Frantic" than before lunch.

They are apparently shuttling "Dump truck loads" of people to the firehouse now :lmao:

Dumptruck: MVP Of Hurricane Sandy 2012
did the feed die? I went out to pick up my daughter from school and came back to a feed that won't play.
It went down for a bit, you may have to load it in another page. But the Atlantic County feed is back up.
 
i gotta admit, my ###### is pretty puckered due to this wind. much windier than irene.
It's frigging frightening. When Charley came through in 2004, when the northern eyewall passed right over where I was living, we got 100 MPH sustained winds, sounded like lions roaring. My wife almost #### herself. Windows were rattling, a tree fell and missed our screened porch by 2 feet, another fell in the spot I was parked in right before I thought better of parking under a tree and moved to an auxiliary lot a few hundred yards away from my condo and walked back. Patted myself on the back for exercising common sense for a change on that one.
 
Dump truck heading back.

This feed is addicting, I'm sure its not as fun on a normal day but might find myself listening to this at points as opposed to Pandora.

 
Honestly if I wasn't going to lose power for a few days, this wouldn't be so bad. :shrug:
Worse to come in the next 2-5 hours, once it hits land
I've been in Afghanistan, a category 2 hurricane isn't that terrifying. It's really more of an inconvenience for me but for guys like Otis it's the end of the world. :shrug:
It's like you read those very words in my daily journal.
I liked the passage about making sure your Pam Anderson Playboys were taken to higher ground. :thumbup:

I think the reaction to this storm is pretty ridiculous for most people, but a cat 2 is 100mph winds which is twice what i'm experiencing today. That's a lot of wind.
 
What an idiot looks like: Dude in scuba gear in middle of flooded road (10 second mark). :lmao:

Some co-workers and I were watching that at lunch talking about the guy drinking beer(not shown in your link), standing with the guy in the kayak, while their buddy rides up on a bike, then we saw the scuba diver pop up. They interviewed the diver but unfortunately the sound wasn't on at the restaraunt.

I don't. Have you seen pictures of LBI, Ocean City, Atlantic City or some of NY. I'd say those conditions are life threatening and to call that an overreaction "ridiculous" sounds pretty shallow as emergency workers are continuing to put their lives on the line to do rescue missions. I would think an overreaction would be what you'd want. Better to be safe than sorry. :shrug:

It's serious business, no doubt. But there is no reason for panic (not saying anyone here is doing that). It is what it is, if you aren't homeless you'll probably be fine on Thursday.
 
Blizzard warning, High wind warning, and flood warning for my county in VA
When I last saw the map, I wondered about your area. It looks like the mountains on the western side of the valley are gonna get it.Daggone thing is breaking west towards northern Maryland, where I am, and south central Pa. Don't like this at all.
2000 feet and above could get up to 12". I'm below that and, as you say, east of the 3rd ridge. But temps are supposed to drop in the 30s down at my elevation so wouldn't be shocked to see some snow. I don't think it can stick to the ground but maybe the leaves.Bunker down, gb
You, too. I think I'll start with the Jack while I still have ice and save the Maker's Mark for after the power goes out.

Where you surrounded by 8 million of your closest friends when you were in that Cat 2 storm? It's really the design of NY that makes this a PITA but you know that.
 
Very PLUMP, White "hood wannabe" chick :X at the corner market bellowing the following: "dey alwayz give deez dings at da end of da month so paw folk is screwed yo!! Remember dat Ka-cheena in New Orleenz?!"

 
The thing is, aside from low lying coastal areas this is little more than a game of "house arrest" for 48-72 hours. Hang out...read a book. Drink a few beers. Listen to the wind and rain knowing that 99.99999999999% chance this is little more than an inconvenience.

IMO hurricanes are fun if there's no real risk of flooding. :shrug:

missed your shot at a viral video here.
Left the phone home for charging before we lose power :wall: :wall: :wall: But I did some checking .... Ka-CHEENA, Irene, and now Sandy ... all in the last week of their respective months ...... maybe that Hippo is on to something :tinfoilhat:
 
I prefer ABC Philly and she really doesn't add much insight but it might be the last attractive women I see for a few days without internet and TV so I'll watch her til TV goes out.
I called dibs when she first started....cause i have a chance.... Going to watch a movie while i can...Peace my nj bretheren
