Who is this guy?? Might actually want to tell what your spoiling. | ||

Nice weather outside,even with the strong gusts. However there is tons of tree damage in my town.TONS of people without power(i live in the only apartment complex in town.and we have generators  And about 5 roads are flooded, 2 of them being the roads that get you ANYWHERE in my town. So I'd say here hurricane Irene fucked us pretty bad, however all the local areas and NYC(which i live 15 minutes away from) are doing just fine. EDIT: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/08/most_of_spring_lake_boardwalk.html Family lives here about 30 minutes southeast of me and the boardwalk there has been destroyed, and they have major flooding everywhere.There were evacuated staying with family elsewhere so everyone is doing fine. | ||

A website has been set up for NYC residents to report damage, flooding, trees, power outages, etc. Don't know how useful it'll turn out to be, but here's the link - NYC Severe Weather Listening to Jay Walder now of the MTA, and he's saying Metro North has taken the most damage. Inspectors will be checking out the city subway tunnels, with bus service possibly being the first public transport restored. Tolls are still suspended on many MTA bridges. | ||

There are people with 5,10,15$ million dollar houses out on the sound that had waves crashing into their second story windows. Theres a boat dealership in town and the guy decided not to tie down his boats, so when the storm came they just floated right off their trailers, the guy probably lost like $300k worth of merchandise just floating in the sound lol. I managed to get lucky but apparently something like 40% of the town is out of power right now, and there are trees down everywhere. Still, its nowhere near how bad the media hyped it to be. | ||

To the people claiming this is nothing but hype, hold your comments to yourself. Trees falling are fucking dangerous regardless of how much sensationalism the media has given this storm. Yeah I'd ignore those posts. Lot of metropolitan/city folk have extreme tunnel vision of the realities of what's happening outside. I know some people in Manhattan who are whining about it this being 'overrated'. Talk about a total loss of perspective on those idiots - I'd just ignore them. PS - Pepco, the worst electric company in the nation, is failing again. Hundreds of thousands in DC without power. Not a total surpise, but yeah. | ||
