Hurricane Sandy

[FairHooker11]

my son and his wife live right in the middle of New Jersey..... safe keeping at Mcguire AFB?

so not on the coast but in the path of the eye when it comes on land. (if projections are correct)

needless to say we are praying for the safety of all the people in the path and the effects of this one.

Best wishes to them, hooker.

Guessing between a 3 and a 4 ratting, its going to be a lot of rain in an area not used to getting hurricane's.

Best to get people prepared for a level 10 and it be a 1 then prepare for a 1 and it be a 10.

Almost always overhyped, especially when it hits where the media lives.

But it's also going to do a lot of damage. I don't know if you've ever lived by the coast, Steve, but it'll literally change the landscape. Or take a look at what Irene did to Vermont last year.

I'd say it's going to be a 6 or 7.

Just watched the weather from New England, where they still use meteorologists and not big breasted Latinas and aging out of work actors, and the storm is somehow still strengthening as it moves into colder water. Wow. I've never seen that.

Yeah, this is going to be a real problem.

I figure there are meteorologists at the National Weather Bureau.

I love Holly Strano.

Just an informal guess fellows.

On a 1 - 10 scale.

1 being over hyped and anticlimactic.

10 being historic devastation.

NYC and NJ look like they are going to get it pretty good. Other then that I have no idea. I've been through enough of them to know better then second guess.

I was gonna go vote today. Fuck this weather (not that sandy has anything to do with it).

I agree. If it was going to hit Biloxi, I am not saying it would be a ignored story, but it wouldn't be called Frankenstorm.

Who was the blond anchor that was on when those two started? She was hot.

Well I understand the NYSE E is going to be closed so That's bigger news than 1000 slot machines and 3 Walmarts.

All we need now is a earthquake and a bunch of mudslides in California to wipe out all those stupid people.

What are you doing in Cali?

[heckofajobbrownie]

Nothing like wishing death on your fellow Americans. And probably meaning it too.

[Bob806]

Here in Berea, we never stopped running the fire trucks & rescue squad. People were genuinely scared, trees & wires down on homes all over the place. One family has their lives upside down now due to a fire. One hectic night in a fairly small suburb of Cleveland...and we're not getting the major stuff like other areas.

You can say it's over-hyped or not, all I know is it's certainly not "normal." I couldn't imagine living in tornado alley or the hurricane-risk areas.

Stay safe everybody.

Shit I love my Cleveland brethren, but fucking stop whining. I can't get home because of the flooding here on the Outer Banks. Sorry you couldn't vote early.

Lol, it was cold as hell. Maybe you should have had the foresight to not live on an island that regularly gets hit by hurricanes. I voted today.

Hell yeah

She was one of my first boners. Pretty sure that's why I got up at 6am to watch the news every day in 4th grade.
