Just turn on the Weather Channel, Jen.

LOL, I will do that. I just remember last time, with Irene, the warnings were terrifying, and didn't seem as severe this time, but I guess that could change in the next day or so.

With Irene, I came home to people taping and boarding up their windows. First time I every experienced anything like that.

I think the danger to New York is greater with this storm than with Irene.

Irene hit with its 9th landfall as a tropical storm in Brooklyn. That means all the inland force was directed to the East of Brooklyn. With an eye in Brooklyn the water will be pushed OUT of NY harbor rather than in.
A devastating hit would be Monmouth County NJ pushing immense amounts of water into NYC hargbor.

well at least all the lazy ass retards that still have the tape on their windows from last the last storn will be glad they were lazy and didnt remove it.


PS: tape on the windows does nothing. there are proven articles on it.

Plus duct tape is the worse thing you can put on the glass, as it does not come off. And, 99.9 percent of the apartment windows that i still see with tape on are the type of people that do not wash windows and tie their curtains in a knot, or have broken blinds anyway.

no wonder they didnt remove the tape the day after irene....

type of people that do not wash windows and tie their curtains in a knot

Or have the curtains blowing out the window...always red.

I think, as of right now we are gonna get hit harder than when Irene came a knocking. Of course that could all change within 24 hours.

Yeah, calling out "Hurricane" is not an excuse from work me. Or "snowstorm" or "floods" or anything else. That's one of the tradeoffs of working for NYC transit, lol. I hope I don't get stranded out in Far Rockaway on Sunday.

It's in the financial interest of the media to hype up the storm.

It'll be more clear on Sunday evening whether the storm will even touch NYC.

Out of all the models on http://my.sfwmd.gov/sfwmd/common/ima...s/storm_18.gif only one hits NYC hard.

It's more hype by the media as usual at this point. They need those eyeballs to sell ads.

i live a few blocks from the marina on the cross island parkway and im trying to remember if any storm ever even made the water come outside the parkway area.

its never happened while i have lived here.

We need a rally point on high ground for city-data NYC Board posters to meet and form a new tribe after this snowmahurripocalypse returns the city to a state of nature.

The Metropolitan Museum...it's big and it is on one of Manhattan's high points, Carnegie Hill.

See you Tuesday morning. (I'll be drinking kefir, natch.)
