Foxnews is saying they’ll have 10-12 hours of 75-90 mph winds in Manhatten. Going to be lots of broken glass.

I worked in the "canyons" of Midtown Manhattan for 17yrs, and that'll be one of the deadliest places on earth during this storm, if those winds impact the buildings' glass. You'd also be surprised how much hardware, roof gardens etc is on top of those buildings, which could be blown loose and come down.

“Foxnews is saying they’ll have 10-12 hours of 75-90 mph winds in Manhatten. Going to be lots of broken glass.”

Worse, high winds mean storm surges. nyc is on the water. How much of the electrical/cable/water and transportation infrastructure is underground?

And then let’s remember that this is the liberal and effete northeast that we’re talking about. Not the south that normally gets these storms and is better prepared. It’ll be mass chaos in two-three days when the government doesn’t show up with fresh goat cheese pizza and perrier.

There is some kind of atmosphereic effect where winds around buildins are magnified at the street level. I wonder if any of those east side libs were get blown into the east river?

Does anyone else have the feeling that God might be angry at radical liberals over their convention platform vote?

How many times does a hurricane swerve around Florida at the last min, skip most of the southern Atlantic states, and head straight for the heart of the radical liberal cities?
