Two of the better jokes. This storm should be named Snookie because it is f***ing all of the Jersey Shore. And should have named the storm A-Rod, then it wouldn't hit anything.Not even Snookie did this much damage to the Jersey Shore. Blizzard in West Virginia...
T&P man.One of my suppliers "forgot" to ship my order from Massachusetts on Friday so I had it today. No telling when ill get it.![]()
The rumors that the subway is closed down for a week were probably just conjecture. But the MTA themselves posted that the subway tunnels are flooding."Rumors are wrong. The MTA cannot assess damage until Tuesday. It is way too early for a subway reopening timetable."https://twitter.com/MTAInsiderMTA just tweeted it too...Thats as official as it gets.Wunderground tweeted that four feet of water entering subway tunnels under the East River.
thanks gbMetropolitan Transit Authority
so we shouldn't help Haitians?Really? A commercial about Haiti when we have our own crisis to handle. Heck, this is going to cost us billions but why not just give them some more money.

to us, yes.Is Otis dead?
Where did I say that? But we worry about our national debt and this storm is going to cost us billions alone, we should have priorities and right now, Haiti ain't one of them.so we shouldn't help Haitians?Really?

no idea what you were getting at. that's why I asked. I don't see how asking to help Haiti is a really? moment.Where did I say that?so we shouldn't help Haitians?Really?

Not sure why, but Irene winds were worse in Hell's Kitchen.I know definitively that's not true downtown and the surge is not comparable, but (thankfully) this one has been no big whup.Power- OUT. Innerwebz- sporadic at best ... posting from iPhone (Sprint). Most intense sustained winds I'ever experienced ... been in the City for all my 43 years. Nothing like this ever. Random WTF moment (in a good way)? EMS vehicle was idling outside awhile ago ... ". 30 Seconds Over Tokyo" by Pere Ubu was eminating from said vehicle. Righteous!
So far.Might be a good time too go for a quick 12 mile run. Might set some personal records with some help from the wind.Power- OUT. Innerwebz- sporadic at best ... posting from iPhone (Sprint).

I keep waiting for some to snap like twigsPretty crazy seeing the trees bend the complete opposite way they were from this afternoon. Hoping they hold up...
Same here. It sounds like jet planes keep flying low over head. Walked out back to look at the new pond and all of the surrounding trees were bending far too much for my liking.I keep waiting for some to snap like twigsPretty crazy seeing the trees bend the complete opposite way they were from this afternoon.

I've actually heard a few snaps, but thankfully not from the big boys yet.I keep waiting for some to snap like twigsPretty crazy seeing the trees bend the complete opposite way they were from this afternoon. Hoping they hold up...
Irene's winds were way worse here too IMO. Half my trees were losing branches, you could barely stand outside and it was a steady gale force wind for five or six hours. It was nasty between 5-9 here but it has died down some and even at its peak it wasn't sustained like Irene. Thing is this storm is longer in duration and is bringing much more storm surge and although I only live a mile from the Chesapeake, I'm on high ground. After Irene passed by it was sunny the next morning, it is supposed to rain all day here tomorrow with 30 mph winds. This ho won't leave.Not sure why, but Irene winds were worse in Hell's Kitchen.I know definitively that's not true downtown and the surge is not comparable, but (thankfully) this one has been no big whup.Power- OUT.

They just said this wasn't true.according to twitter from Weather Channel guy:Eric Fisher @EricFisherTWCVia NWS Chat: the NYSE trading floor is under 3' of water. This is absolutely incredible
Please post facebook photos on something else, no facebook means i cant see themTia

Looks like Baltimore and Howard counties had about 50k without power earlier but my county (AA) had less than 500. I think they are burying cable out where I live, I know all my neighborhood is buried but the connections weren't until just recently. Would be nice to get through this with power, seems like NYC is taking the beating we did during Irene.For us central MD folks, I (knock on wood) still have power too. I wonder if the storms that knocked out power for a week during the summer took care of most of the trees that were ready to go? Amazed we still have power, although the winds do seem to be picking up, the rain seems less intense. Looking at the satellite maps, Baltimore seems to be in the green and out of the yellow/orange. Stay safe fellow FBGs!
First time seeing the sign language girl. She/ALS make some very sexual signals. She looks like she is asking for it.Bloomberg on now
