Huricane Irene is going to herald the beggining of Kali Yuga

Hey you should take this hurricane stuff seriously, after all Barack Obama is:

"Don't wait, don't delay. We all hope for the best, but we have to be prepared for the worst. All of us have to take this storm seriously," he said on Friday, before cutting short his holiday in Martha's Vineyard, an island on the Massachusetts coast, a day early to head back to Washington

Do as the good man tells you to.

This is fitting.
 
All you really need to do is pull the garbage cans inside and keep your windows shut? Oh, and keep your flashlight on you. It's just a really long storm for us. Didn't even notice it was going on, courtesy of Deus Ex
 
It's only a cat 1 or cat 2 hurricane people, it's like a strong breeze.

Down here we wouldn't stop to notice a cat 1 hurricane...
 
Rain fucked up a local dam. Most of my town is submerged to an extent, and we've barely just had power back for the past little while.
 
We (south beach) got the worst of it. The rest of Staten Island is okay.

I gotta say, it was worse that I thought it was gonna be
 
They just turned the power back on where I live (northern part of New Haven) after a night of near chaos. An army of looters came out in downtown New Haven and especially Bridgeport. We're getting our shit together while the Bridgeport mayor just put in place an 8pm curfew for tonight and presumably the rest of the week. Some cop friends of mine are telling me they are getting so many calls of looters and vandals they can't respond anymore. Most of the hurricane's damage was on the shore. The highways were shut down. One where I routinely pass through a tunnel had a big tree roll right off the mountain into the entrance. Getting around town was difficult because every other road was closed.

Last night was pretty damn tense. All I heard was screaming and sirens until dawn. I swear the people are doing more damage than the fucking hurricane.

That's odd. I haven't heard of one instance of looting here. I guess Giuliani was right about the increase of cops on the street :D
 
Incidentally, our governor laid off 56 more troopers just days before the hurricane hit.

The news isn't covering anything that's going on in New Haven and Bridgeport. The closest you can find is official word about the 8pm curfew, but nobody says why.

Well, I hope Allah sees you and you're family to safety
 
I live in Maine, basicly the farthest from the epicenter than any of you, and 20,000 people are without power in York County, even a day later than the worst of it. Thats about 10 miles away. Central Maine Power (our power company I guess, Im a New Jersey resident for the past 26 years) hasnt been seen. Haha.

Our house is on a beautiful lake, lined with very tall, very thin, pine trees. Their root system supposedly typically only goes 2 feet below ground level. It was scary listening to the wind late at night and wondering if one would break loose and fall into our living room. Thats what happened to some lady 4 houses down. She was watching the swells on the lake from her indoor porch when a tree fell through it. She survived, thank Allah/God/L.Ron Hubbard. Praise the dieties.


If this is (insert your god of choice)'s idea of the rapture that is supposedly coming, (s)he is doing a pretty piss poor job. Only ~20 dead over 4 states. C'mon! Bring on the flesh eating locusts! We need more believers!


@Sabirah: Whats it like being Muslim in Staten Island? I thought if you werent Italian in that area the Italian neighbors would threaten violence unless you moved? Are you invited to the block parties? The only thing I can think of is that you are definately a hottie! If all muslim girls looked like you there would be peace in the middle east by now! (excluding western imperialization of corse)

Like being Catholic in the 30s pretty much. And the Italians are nice enough (except for guidos and there female counterparts, forget what they're called) but in truth Staten Island is getting less Italian by the day, hell the only Italian person in my web of life right now is my freind's barber (fun fact, he is Vinny from Jersy Shore's dad) .That chick aint me lol. I'm Indian, not Arab (although she does look somewhat like me if I was skin bleached)

Indian women were rated as the worlds most beautiful, don't ask me who did the rating, it might be time to change the avatar - this one is pretty good.

just a correction...


NY and even DC was not hit by a hurricane. it was hit with a tropical storm.

it was a medium cat 1 by the time it hit south VA, by mid VA it was a low cat 1, and by the time it hit DC it was no longer a hurricane.


the problems you guys have/had in NY/NJ/DC were NOT caused by hurricane irene... it was caused by tropical storm irene.

and its a testament not to how powerful nature is, but of how bad your infrastructure is up north.

yes, this is me marginalizing what you experienced. if you had experienced a full hurricane and not just a tropical storm, it would have been much worse. even if it was only a cat 1.

it just shows how bad your infrastructure is that you cant even be hit with a tropical storm without problems. if a tropical storm knocks you guys on your asses this bad, just think how bad it would be for a cat 2 or even 3 hurricane.

I dunno about that. I mean how often does a Hurricane hit NY? I mean, as long as I have been here this is the first time. It's understandable we didnt know how to prepare
