Hurricane Sandy

[FNH]

oh the nearby river has already flooded, pretty sure i wont be able to drive south easily for a couple days. i just want to see cool stuff happening outside

like this?

[Zetanio]

30~ wave in Northshore, Ma

Holy shit.

Power still on here. Building exaggerated their claims, ConEd says people far west and east may have power cut off below 34th. I'm right in the middle of the island. FULL POWER CAPTAIN!

[Mertron]

i want to see cool shit float past my house

as long as it isnt my car

[tyven]

Just got to work and we're already on generator. Station clerks drawing straws to see who goes out in a few hours to refill the lines. Mobile cad works though! I'm running response in a crummy transport van that has about 350 pounds of food/water and tarps. My partner seems to think we're going to die. Wonder if I should ditch him on the sidewalk for foot beat...

Edit: Just ran over a squirrel and my partner just cried.

rofl. what part of town are you in?

30~ wave in Northshore, Ma

Wow that looks absolutely messed up. @_@ I'm from the south so you'll have to enlighten me, but is that all beach-front property (or further inland)?

Edit: nvm, is that a retaining wall I see a bit of in the bottom left behind the white van and cop car?

[Quicklet]

I've lost power ever minor shit storm we've got in the last year. Really really need to move out of this shithole. 7% of the town without power and I manage to be one of them...

That's alright. With CL&P's ineptness, even if the rest of the town doesn't lose power, I'm sure they'll find a way to have to cut off power to them in order to spend the next week fixing everyone else.

thats all near the shore

I'm in Hudson Valley, NY. Wind is blowing like a motherfucker. I'd imagine there's gonna be tons of down trees when it's all said and done. Worse if it does snow and the snow ends up being heavy. Surprised power is on for my place but I guess after that ridiculous snow storm two years ago that put us out of power for a week, the electric people stepped their game up. Some friends of mine have already had outtages so it could be a matter of time. Hopefully not. I wish I had a camera so I could explore but I'd also not wanna get slapped in the nuts by a rogue tree branch.

I wonder where animals in the wild hide in this kinda weather?

[wipers]

The animals are smart enough to not live in NJ.

[Wulfgang]

Shit starting to get mildly crazy in DC. Just went out to get food with my two roommates and the wind is brutal. I just put on a pair of ski goggles to walk to Rite Aid.

[Boyiee]

ok Just got back to the station after running like 40 calls for a few hours. tress on houses everywhere. structure fires everywhere. While we are at a fire before there were trees falling around us and we had to get the apparatus out. pine beach has a 3 home fully involved structure fire going now. eye wall is hitting land now and it's about to get real fun.

[FNH]

Good news is it will make landfall slightly ahead of high tide. You'll see epic flooding, but it could have been worse.

I guess it doesn't take much to get into Brown these days....

I guess it doesn't take much to get into Brown these days....

People like this are the ones who should be the casualties of this hurricane. They won't be missed.

[Buffy]

"I know the government wants us to think that."

That's the generation that has to pay for our debt crisis everyone! Take a good look!

[FNH]

barometric pressure in AC down to 28.09inHg, which is ridiculous.

[Churchill]

how do your ears feel

[Churchill]

quick, boil some water in 30 seconds

[FNH]

how do your ears feel

mine feel fine 1000 miles away from the hurricane

[Moss]

I guess it doesn't take much to get into Brown these days....

I'm speechless.
