no, i believe hurricanes are measured by their surface winds. those winds in that tweet are apx. 1 mile up in the air

All those pictures of the barrier islands, in Galloway about 10 minutes away not giving a fuck

It's raining in New York, slightly breezy. I slept a ridiculous amount due to the quiet. The streets are pretty empty and it's amazing to not hear loud noises at 1pm on a Monday.

Sure people are going to lose power, bucket trucks will not go out to restore power until the winds drop below 35mph.

one of the biggest problems with this storm is that when it merges with the other shit going on its going to get caught in the jet stream and just fucking stop and sit on us for days.

the thing is, those winds were only 95mph 2 hours ago, and this morning were 75-85, which means it's still strengthening.

Didn't have to go to work but I know it's worse in the city!

Started to lose power on and off in Willimantic, wind is pretty steady right now, raining and I'm already seeing tons of unnecessary debris everywhere.

Winds are 35-45 here in RI with gusts up to 60. Rain doesn't seem too bad, but lots of flooding already in the southern part of the state. Updated news reports have about 13k people without power already.

Since not much bad has happned to MD yet, instead of covering the coastal damages, they're just debating what they should call this (Hurrican merging into a Noreaster). Apparently one channel was to call it a Cyclone "because thats what the Australians call their hurricanes". They've been debating this since last night >.< ... retards.

Edit: Clarification ... Inner Baltimore region of MD .. i realize OC is getting it now.

To be clear, what do you consider necessary debris?

I'm sure he means debris which only exists because people left easily securable or storable shit outside.

**Brill Weave** · 2012-10-29 12:42

And here I thought he was referring to unattended children etc.

**Soa** · 2012-10-29 12:46

They are now saying the storm is going to pass right through Philly, but the estimated rainfall hasn't changed for some reason even though its supposed to last a half day longer. Its still just moderate rain with some wind here right now. I ran to the local Wawa and a cop there said the roads are fine right now, and he hasn't heard of any power problems as of yet.

**jmc** · 2012-10-29 12:46

His/Her neighbors are gonna be pissed when they lose power because of this.... lmao

**Brill Weave** · 2012-10-29 12:51

Oh fuck lmfao. They're probably looking for him now.
