MLG might be shut down by the govt (or just the elements fucking with wires). bad planning from mlg -.- These event locations are placed months and months ahead of time. We can tell hurricanes are coming maybe a few days ahead. | ||

In Nassau and Suffolk Counties, pets aren't allowed in shelters according to FEMA's website, I'd head into the city, or to NJ. Pretty sure Westchester doesn't turn away pets either. | ||

I thought we had another 12 hours or so at least - where are you getting your info? Has been pretty slow outside. I went to work today and had to take a cab home - I thought cabs would be doing great business but the cabbie told me that things are actually really slow and he was only planning on working until 6 or so. | ||

Kinda hard to get news when I'm in another continent and without precise addresses. Not sure if they just lost power or had to evacuate =/ most of my east coast l4d players aren't on either o.o they're probably all out being bad asses and wind surfing or something | ||

This is what happens when hurricanes hit in places they normally don't, people think they have a lot longer than they really do and wait till it's too late to either evacuate or take proper precautions because hours before the actual eye moves over NYC they will start see the conditions get exponentially worse. | ||

Yeah I realize now that I'm an idiot :p. I definitely fit your profile, grew up in the midwest where we worried about tornadoes, not hurricanes. I live near the highest point in Manhattan though, so certainly not an evacuation zone. And I did stock up on a few things. Mostly booze. My mom says a lot of the news coverage back home (midwest again) has been about how careless and unprepared new yorkers are due to their overconfidence. But I think Bloomberg etc. has been pretty clever bout this. In my view shutting down the subway is less about actual danger and more about sending a message about seriousness. | ||
