What the hell kind of hurricane makes it this far inland?? :blink:
It's not that unusual.

A few years back Hurricane Ike came up the Ohio Valley and caused massive power outages here in Louisville.  I used to work with a chick whose power was out for almost two weeks. :wacko:

Also, this hurricane is hammering central Pennsylvania like Hurricane Agnes did in 1972 or whenever it was.

A Frankenstorm kind of hurricane? ;)

Thankfully, so far the frankenstorm was more of a damp squib in Toronto.  :)

We were told to stock supplies for three days ... but not much has happened yet. The worst was supposed to be last night. Some high winds, some trees down.

The cover for my propane grill blew off and there was an inch of slushy wet snow on my car this morning :o

I checked in to see how Jersey City was doing after the hurricane, to see if I can start thinking about driving back home.  The first thing I found was a CNN iReport showing my neighborhood under 4 feet of water.  :hmm:  I don't think that's a good sign.

What do you mean - it's a great sign!  You now live in oceanfront property!   :cool:

250k without power in ohio. The storm glanced at the power grid here and shit went down.

I hope garbon's OK, and he hasn't been set upon by roving bands of cannibalistic Puerto Ricans.

I already lived on riverfront property.  Being an oceanfront property is a downgrade.   :(

He's huddled in a corner with a can of potted meat and a box of Ritz crackers.

Yeah, all of this federal, state and local emergency organization is just ludicrous, people should learn to stand on their own two feet and fight off bad weather themselves; sink or swim?

Nothing encourages personal responsibility like having to deal with a natural disaster about by oneself.  REAL AMERICANS LOOT AND FORAGE

But wait til President Romney disbands FEMA, and PLJ has to deal with Florida EMA by himself in Jacksonville, the world's largest trailer park.  On the flip side, he can afford its privatization when he gets the bill from KBR to rebuild his shit.

With all those old glo sticks from his rave days he forgot he had.

My dad thought that he won't be coming to work this week, because subways won't be back until the weekend.  Now turns out that the roof at his workplace in Bronx was blown off.  :blink:  He may be out a while longer.
