Aint No Right

No work for me either...Romeo no evacuation for you? I'm just hoping there's no major power outages...Irene fucked us up for a week last year...

I hope all the people on the east coast are safe.

Take care.

My work was cancelled. Works for me...so long as I have power and no trees crashing through the roof.

Did your neighbors stay as well? I hope you are not alone in your neighborhood.

I've seen models that said we weren't going to get bad wind, I've seen models that said we are.

be safe all!!!!

Also CVS on Atlantic Ave in Oceanside still had some D batteries and cases of bottled water if you still need supplies

Stop & shop however was wiped out of Entenmanns lool

Hey Romeo, we ended up leaving Long Beach. If we didn't have a 15 month old we would've stayed for this one, our neighbors were having a hurricane party tonight and I work in Long Beach so my job is closed Monday and Tuesday for the storm. I wanted to stay but I guess going to the in-laws is the responsible thing to do. The Allegria Hotel has a live surf camera, http://www.nysea.com/live-cam-forecast/ so we can watch this come in.

Stay safe, hopefully we won't flood too bad.

Romeo, PLEASE be safe...I dunno bout not evacuating cause they're saying this is supposed to be way worse than Irene...I hope everything turns out ok with you and your family...

Having lived thru my share of hurricanes and typhoons everyone be safe, hopefully it will just be a lot of rain and the wind damage will be minimal

Yeah...at this point we haven't had any rainfall, but the wind is kicking up on my side and there are already some branches down in the yard...praying for the best...

Take care, people

thanks, but where I live doesn't flood. I'm not near any creek or canal. but because I am "south of sunrise" I am in a automatic mandatory evacuation zone. They really need to rezone that shit.

The wind however is FREAKING me out and it's not even the hurricane wind yet. Nor' easters are normally nasty on their own.

And yes my neighbors did stay (they stayed for Irene too when I bolted). Last night they lost power when a transformer blew (LIPA actually repaired it before midnight) but I still had power because I'm on a different transformer

Blackula, stay safe. That cam from the hotel is cool!!!

best wishes to all you guys...as for me 75 and sunny with a 2-3 mile an hour breeze...be smart people

Things are intensifying here in MD.

Can't say I've seen anything quite like this before. The storm is supposed to stall directly overhead and beat the shit out of us.

ominously dark, light rain, very still. waiting, waiting...

(think the most recent spiritualized album will be more storm music)

Red Hook, Brooklyn





Ocean City, MD fishermans pier... 100 feet at end collapsed. I've heard the whole thing is gone now.

Live Streaming coverage:

now that the power has flickered a few times, I've done what any sane man would have done... cooked all the bacon.


We shall rebuild.

to the bacon comment. my family also just cooked a shit ton of bacon.

still no rain in queens yet but the wind is nasty.

nyc has closed public schools tomorrow. i assume the mta will follow suit soon.

my neighbor 4 houses away lost power again, so far I am still ok. Did what any "girl" would do....took a hot shower & washed my hair because if I do lose power (and who knows how long we'll be out) no hot water.

They (my neighbors without power) have the keys to the knights of columbus nextdoor to me so we might go over there later & raid the bar.

my wife did the same thing.

Last week, unthinking and ignorant, I scheduled to get my groceries delivered today. SOMEHOW, they came (as the man said "The only thing my boss turns down is his collar") - I thanked him, as I was down to my last english muffin and nearly out of ketchup, tipped and wished him well. Next, I went to the seedy liquor store that was still open - snug as a bug, but lord, it is wet out there. Low, low hanging clouds.

Stay Safe!

My sister and her bf just went out to 7/11 to buy snacks cause no one in my family thought to do that. Hopefully they are not blown away.

Just saw a report on the news about this. Pretty scary.

All the best for the people there - stay safe!!

Here she comes...

they are saying the worse of it will be from now until 2am.

Some part of my coping/siding is in my neighbors yard. That's not good. pleasehouseholdtogether!
