Earthquakes, Hurricanes, dear God MLG, what have you done?
|
Sundance has clearly offended Cobra.
Also, felt it here in NJ. Neighbors say they have friends/family who felt it from Texas o.O. That doesn't sound possible given it was a 5.8 originating in Virginia.

Sneak in a folding chair. You don't need drinks. Free Dr. Pepper all day lol.
The stream is going to suffer so badly. I might not even bother haha
|
Now didn't they say the weather was the cause of the other stream problems. How do they find these cities that have crazy storms in the summer? MLG needs to come to Cali.

There are not enough Arks. Not enough by half.
If people complain about the stream due to the storm, I will laugh. And laugh. And laugh.

At least we got the earthquake out of the way before Raleigh.

If they're using satellite for internet again, I don't think that's going to go too well.
Well here's hoping the stream miraculously stays smooth.

He's right, though. Where Raleigh is situated, a category 2 storm would lose power as it goes overland, and you're probably not going to get much besides very heavy rain and occasional strong wind gusts. I've lived in the Triangle area for 9 years (total, not continuously), and honestly the winter storm (around 2000 ish) was more disruptive than any hurricane or tropical storm that's ever hit us.
On the other hand, I wouldn't be out and about in Hurricane Irene either, and I certainly wouldn't be driving on account of the visibility and how hard it is to drive in heavy rain. I had originally planned on going to MLG, but depending on how things look, I might just watch some of the streams instead.

he must be able to counter the irrefutable power of a lifetime worth of experience in two grammatically incorrect sentences!
Have you ever even seen a Category 2 Hurricane? It's like a pacifist nor'easter on pain killers.

Looks like it'll be a Category 3.

Pft, down here in New Orleans we'd laugh at a Cat 2/3. You should all be fine.

That sucks, but they have plenty of reasons for not allowing people to do this. One of them being avoiding fire hazards.
