Hurricane Irene

[Gadritan]

That was a huge let down. We got some flooding in Mount Laurel, but nothing crazy enough to justify the kind of doomsday hype and panic that was going on here since Thursday.

Yeah, well, there's been 5 confirmed deaths here. It's best to freak the fuck out before and hype it up so people prepare than take it easy and get caught off guard.

I live in north Jersey and it's sunny here right now. Not sure if this is just the eye or it's over, but if it's actually over pretty much nothing happened here except for some branches falling.

[Cail]

Still windy as fuck here, rainy too...Trees+branches+power lines down everywhere

[Zetanio]

Boring. Went to sleep at 5am, woke up at 10:30am to find everything still boring.

Irene was boring.

Irene was boring.

this was my exact experience. better boring than people getting sucked out of highrise windows, though.

I guess. A little drama would have been nice though. I walked outside at like 11:15 and went to get a bacon, egg and cheese. The streets are deserted but no damage at ALL.

This.

Kind of annoying when people are "disappointed," that there was no mass destruction in their area when people were killed in others.

I get it though. It's BG, shouldn't be in a hurricane in a war zone etc and so forth.

It's over for us. I see freaking blue sky here over Bloomfield, and thankfully we escaped any flood or downed trees or lost power (my sister in Wayne is not so lucky, her basement is flooded and their sub pump failed. She's watching things float around down there). Was hoping to get work cancelled tomorrow, but doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Saw somebody crying over a puddle and trying to call it flooding, we have daytime heating thunderstorms here that are worse than that >.>

[fren.]

lol'd @ all the fucking idiot shop owners around here taping up their windows. The turnpike was deserted, felt awkward as hell.

[Mertron]

i have to poop

that was my irene summary

[BadKarma]

11 people confirmed dead in NY/NJ and my mom cant get in touch with here friend who lives along Merrick road (which is completely underwater) in Long Island.

[BadKarma]

Also a tornado had apparently touched down in East Elmhurst....which is right where I fucking live.

[Lucavi]

All clear here in MD. Lotta trees down and fences smashed, but color me relieved.

[Ksandra]

Called my mom she said there's like zero power in all of CT, and that she said that they probably won't have power for a few days.

[Darkevolution]

I must be lucky, I'm just outside of Hartford and I never lost power.

[Cail]

Think its 800-900k without power. My town has its own power station + crews, so we usually do better. However, there are still a LOT of trees down in my down as well as wires

[BadKarma]

Only in NY.

[Bregor]

Only in NY.
