That Hurricane Thread - The Sandy Vagina Chronicles: Much Ado About Nothing?

[elocomotive]

The thread title is as long as this hurricane is wide.

E. Loco reporting from DC. A little windy but only a light drizzle so far. MD and DC mostly shutting down in anticipation of the storm. We'll be here on the scene with more updates as we have news.

And let's get an update from Baltimore or Philly... C. Omeds? A. Waz? Any news?

I have been a Fed for one week and I get a day off for rain!



But seriously, I am on the 11th floor so flooding shouldn't be an issue. Wind on the other hand.....

I worked 89 hours last week, so I'm happy for a day off. And by a day off, I mean the office is closed tomorrow so I'll probably only have to work for like 8 hours or something easy.

I am going to lay on my couch eating string cheese while watching reruns of The Mentalist, all on the taxpayer's dollar!

I can't tell from the pic. Did the bridge collapse in the middle there? That is going to be costly.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

No, just got washed over.

...which can't be good either, ftr.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I am going to call this one "The Before Picture".

Let's see what the others look like.

Yeah, I could see that leading to problems.

Everything is shut down already - government, Metro, airports, etc. Kinda crazy. I don't get nervous in Maryland though. Either North Carolina takes the brunt or the storm ends up hitting North of us. Maryland has to be the most disaster-proof state in the Union.

Earlier today there was speculation about possible flooding of the NY subway system. If that happens it's going to get very ugly in NY.

I just found She-Ra on Fios. The bad guys in She-Ra were way cooler than He-Man.

In related news there is no way I am going to be able to go to sleep because of this storm.....and She-Ra.

nope that title has to go to michigan.

hardly any big severe storms because of the lakes

no hurricanes or wildfires

might get a big snow storm once in while but nothing like what the other midwest states get

Hurricane Tips

#1 - If winds are heavy, stay CLOSE to the windows. If the building collapses, you don't want to be right next to a heavy, heavy wall.

With all the cancellations, Sandy's last name must be Bettman...
