You're nowhere near an evacuation zone. Now back to your regularly scheduled internet where I definitely don't know where anybody lives.
Just make sure when the shit goes down, you're surrounded by white people. Then you can loot and it'll just be referred to as "foraging for survival." ps get me an xbox.
Hurray! Thank you. I was pretty sure, but a friend of mine in the East Village had to leave so that gave me doubt because it's not a neighborhood I'd assume would be evacuated. But, good to know.
My friend in PA rang around midnight freaking out because Walmart is out of... everything. I feel bad I didn't have any advice to give her besides "get beer." Which is all I ever did to prepare for ( much bigger) storms. I feel worse because people are panicking and hoarding crap they couldn't possibly use. Flooding is all there is to worry about. 75 mph aren't that bad unless a house has structural issues. I'm sure people can survive 12 hours of that without 50 pounds of dry goods. Eat what's in the fridge first. Day after we grilled our asses off. You're going to get a lot of rain. Probably some leaking. Get candles, beer, water, a can of beans. Power will be out a week. It's like people are expecting a Mad Max scenario, a complete breakdown of society. Katrina was a cat 5 in a notoriously poor, corrupt city. NE is not a banana republic. Last direct hit we got, our shit-ass power company never repaired the damage from 3 other storms. So we were out 21 days.
Black Jesus, have you read at all about this storm? I think the greater danger is that it's basically an ice hurricane, so if there are areas with infrastructure not equipped to deal with a storm like this, the power will go down for days to a week or more, and it is freezing and snowing and shit.
I have 3 bags of clemtines to ride this storm out, plus plenty of PBJ sandwich materials. The beverage isle in the store was nearly empty. I saw two women fighting over a 16 pack of water. I wanted to tell them not to worry as soon there would be plenty of water for everyone. But alas, I had to get home to poop.
That is not going to happen. It's a scenario for the Appalachians/western edge of the storm. They should probably back out. I will eat my hat if it's worse than a blizzard. Weather channel has basically said nil on this, but local news is screaming bloody murder. But I saw Day After Tomorrow, so I know scientifically that your icy deaths will be quick and painful.
I am not an expert by any means so I don't know the likelihood of these scenarios, but like with the tsunami that was 8" here, it's kind of a worse case scenario/cover their ass kind of thing. And to be honest, it IS a big storm, and the people largely effected by it have no clue how to deal with weather like that.
I rarely disagree with you, but this is so patently untrue I can't let it stand. This is a fucking bass drop. With maybe 5 exceptions, dubstep is more akin to holding out the promise of an orgasm, but instead of going down on the person, you just hit them in the liver with monotonous regularity, over and over and over again. Just no.
What's amusing about it is watching the difference between how the national networks treat the storm and how they would treat it if it was headed towards Florida or the Gulf Coast. I watched a five minute piece on the Weather Channel yesterday that, in a nutshell, was saying, "Yes, New Yorkers, it is true. A possibility exists your cell phones will not work." If this thing was headed this way Jim Cantore wouldn't even bother with us. We'd get, "Hey, ya'll got batteries and charcoal and shit? Yeah? Alright, cool. I'll see you in a few days."
Who would have thought that I'd experience more tropical storm effects in fucking Toronto than Florida? This is some bullshit. I'm buying this album and bracing my basement with rice bags.
I'm in new Jersey. It is 9am. Shit's starting to get wild. On the subject of dubstep, I don't understand all the hate. It is like metal. Some people can stomach it, and others can't. There's shitty dubstep out there, and there is some crazy shit, too. Like any other genre. I like to compare it to the audio version of a horror film. Here is an old favorite that makes me want to punch people. Need good speakers though. <a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpMza3Nwe-E" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpMza3Nwe-E</a> edit: god dammit why won't the youtube tags work?
Third in the BCS for the first time in damn near a decade. And much more deservedly this time. Irish eyes are smiling indeed.
FTFY. P.S. It's a fact that Christina Hendricks hates Dubstep and would never associate with anyone who listens to it.
You're going to have some righteous storm surge along the coast. Keep us updated until you go out of power. My thing, I will not tolerate hysterics. That is exactly what news loves to do. "This is a horrible terrible, evil storm out to kill your children. You MAY need to evacuate, but probably not because we need you to stay home and continue your viewrship." Pisses me off to see people hoarding shit for what will be a week of discomfort. The only time one needs to evacuate is level 3 force or higher and you're in it's path. As for the ice hurricane, I have a hard time believing low and high pressure systems won't cancel each other out before you have 12 hours of iceacane blasting you in the face. The only thing to worry about during a 'cane is flooding, or if your house is about to fall apart. Afterwards, enough food and heater fuel for a few days until deliveries start coming back. It's like camping for fuck's sake.
My experiences have been surprisingly tame, had no problems getting anything, the only problems I saw was the gridlock traffic jams caused by the line at the BJ's gas station where people are waiting for probably over an hour to get the cheapest gas in the area. The best part is other gas stations all around it are practically deserted and only 5-10 cents more per gallon, oh what lengths people will go to for the illusion of saving a dollar.
