dont hurricane areas generally use event halls and convention centers to put displaced peoples? MLG might be shut down by the govt (or just the elements fucking with wires). bad planning from mlg
Bad planning? Like they knew that a hurricane was going to hit EXACTLY there on exactly the weekend that they planned months ago... Seriously?
Being a gulf coast resident I've weathered a few hurricanes in my time. Whatever you do don't go fuck around outside after the hurricane, power lines can be hot. Fill your tubs with water to flush toilet. And enjoy no a/c for awhile. Y_Y
edit: Also if you're in the direct path it comes in two parts, it will get weirdly calm if you're in the eye. Then all of a sudden it will blast you with part two.

Thank God... I'm in Boston and was reading over this thread to know if I should give a fuck or not. At this rate, it seems that it's just rain and decently high winds, right? It's Boston. +5 days of straight rain happens every once in a while.

As long as it isn't flooding in your area I wouldn't worry too much.

Dunno how it'll be by Boston, but North Carolina and Virginia got hit pretty damn hard. The thing about Irene is that she's moving more than twice as slow as that of a normal hurricane, therefore doubling the amount of time that a given area is subjected to those winds and rain.

hurricanes have a season. they could avoid it..
That is pretty dumb. That would be like if someone avoids booking a vacation anywhere within 300 miles of the coast in the summer because a hurricane may hit..
just got a call from my parents who live on the coast of NC. the power is out and there is a 8:00 curfew. tons of trees down but no flooding, which is good because thats really what does all the hard damage.
sad news, the Emerald Isle pier has been taken out. it was the last remaining pier within many hours distance (((((( i feel like a part of me is washed away into the sea

Yep you can most likely carry on without any fucks given. I hear you on that little rain issue... Coming from a place where it NEVER rains I was pretty excited when I learned it actually rains for days on end sometimes in Boston - til I learned firsthand that "sometimes" means "usually".

I didn't notice until sometime this year when i was watching a movie about agriculture in a class that New England weather is just stupid. I've lived here all my life and never knew any other way. They said that New England has the most volatile, random changes in weather and was like, "Not really. I mean, I've seen it be sunny for a moment, then start snowing, then be sunny, then hail, then thunder, then be sunny, then snow, then rain all in two hours, but that doesn't mean... Oh. Shit. We suck."
Does anyone know what the odds for a tornado are? Here is Jersey City, there is a tornado watch...anything dangerous? And anyone else in a tornado watch?
I am hoping no trees fall on my house, but it wouldn't be the first time. We had a tree fall on the house but the house was able to handle it, and it was a big ass tree lol.
