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

[Darkstone42]

A couple perspective images.

First, an image showing how much bigger Jupiter's megastorm is than Earth's.

Next, an image showing the sizes of Sandy and the Red Spot as fractions of their respective planets' atmospheres.

In conclusion, Sandy is a big storm.

It looks like power outages are headed my way. I will not be wasting cell phone power on Hoopling, so you know. Talk to y'all on the other side.....or in a couple of days.

Stay safe. Best wishes to all of you in the storm's reach.

Im Hoopling until the power goes out though. We are only going to get a glancing blow it seems.

This hurricane is more devastating to the Jersey Shore than the show, Jersey Shore.

I am not making this up, our stupid mayor just said "If you see a downed power line or think it's a downed power line please stay away from it".


No, You Think?!!

i think the bigger problem is it probably had to be said...

although, at some point we might want to let darwinism take over

Every city makes these sorts of announcements for the benefit of the idiots who would touch those downed power lines. It's basically requisite.

Well this MUST be a big storm. Channel 5 is broadcasting their coverage of the storm over ABC's new afternoon show Katie!!!

They seem to be coming here too. The bad part is that it sounds like if your power goes out it will probably be out until Wednesday or so.

Local governments are shutting down for Tuesday around here. Come on Feds!!!!


P.S. Shit is starting to get real outside.

 

[Comeds]

Whew, power blinked off for a few seconds.......

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Same here.

Dumb question:

If my power goes out my stove/oven is gas, will it still work?

 

[Comeds]

Same here.

Yes, you will be fine. Lucky. I have an electric stove.

you'll probably have to light it yourself though

Yes, as long as you put in batteries.

Well Boss, look at all the reports of people trying to steal the copper in power lines lately.

I think his statement has less to do with safety, and more to do with not stealing shit just to scrap the copper.

We should be safe here other than some high winds (up to 50 mph) and rain. For you people on the coast be safe!
