Three lovely Prada points for HoI2 help

Minksy once said to Hans that if Kerry had said the sky was blue Hans would run outside and call him a liar and claim it was green.  I guess that that's pretty close to what's happening here.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Store was crazy. Nearly all the bread was gone.
I did my weekly shopping Friday afternoon after work, rather than go on the weekend. Store was a bit crowded but not too bad. I think a lot of people were just doing their shopping early, instead of trying to go on the weekend when the storm hits. It didn't seem like there were buyouts on any items either.

Yeah that's what my mother did up in Boston. None of the predictions were partcularly dire - except for maybe parts of the cape.

I wish Hamilcar was here. He would have told off the idiots who built New York City in the first place.

lol, that's right;  because it's daft to build cities near shorelines, that's just asking for trouble :lol:

Cape Cod and the coast line can get clobbered bad in storms like this, depending what the effects are on the ocean tides and storm tides.

Didn't he move to NYC or Connecticut?

I heard they shot him up into space and now he's on the ISS.  Apparently they did it just to spite him.  Or maybe they just shot him.  I forget which one.

Agreed, poorly put on my part. But the point I was going towards was that even if the storm doesn't hit hard the coastal areas could still suffer heavy damage.
