People actually do that? I would just leave them alone and let natural selection run its course if that's the case...

I see, better charge all my stuff while I still can LOL

I'm in northeastern Pennsylvania and all classes at my University (and all of the school districts it seems) have been canceled for two days. Honestly today wasn't nearly bad enough to warrant getting out, all it's been so far is some moderate rain and winds. We'll see how tonight / tomorrow goes though.

~.~ A category 1 hurricane in florida is entirely different than one in the Tri-state area. If you've never lived in both areas you honestly have no idea how terrible a hurricane can be in the north in comparison to Florida.

Don't live on the coast if you arn't prepared to handle warranted hurricanes produced by the ocean.
Granted NYC is less prepared than Florida I'll give you that but this is really just a giant storm thats gonna produce alot of flooding nothing more. Nothing that should make people go full disaster mode, unless of course they were stupid enough to build below sea level.

It's not as powerful as a great many that mostly hit further south, but this is one of the biggest ones to come up north, especially the flooding, the water is higher than it's ever flooded New York City before in history.

This one also happens to be a pretty big deal because it meets with a european front, and our neighboring canadian front. I don't think New York City has had anything like this in such a looong time.

Up to four feet of water in the east side subway tunnel. A roof collapsed in brooklynn two people are trapped. Landslide alerts for Virginia pa and md.
All bridges and tunnels in and out are closed NYC

My power died out... right AFTER my DOTA game! 1337 hurricane!!!!!!

Maybe I'm just ignorant, does larger necessarily mean more powerful? I'm in central New York, and we're not getting jack shit.

We're probably not going to get anything until later. It recently just hit high tide and all, so expect something to happen over night maybe? I have a little rain and such, but nothing drastic or relevant. (Binghamton here, it's usually rainy.)

Category ones are nothing in comparison to cat 3+, it's not worth worrying over too much. You might have no power for awhile, so there's that. But you won't be getting swept off your feet and having debris fly into your skull ;p.
We should send all of you pirates of the seven seas, to break the news of the victims deaths to their families. Or enlist you for a couple of firefighting watches, that would be fun, right?

This might be true, I will find out over the next 48 hours or so. Currently, it is pretty much the same shit different state. I will post pretty regularly in this thread, so if I disappear for a couple of days expect I am on the phone with time warner bitching that Brighthouse didn't drop my cable during a cat 1. :D
