If you are affected by the storm approaching, please tell us what you have done to prepare for it.
And keep us updated as it comes your way.
I was actually thinking of Come On Eileen (forgot it was Eileen). Dexy’s Midnight Runners?
I don’t expect the government to save me. I will do that myself, thank you very much.
Oh, I also have a chain saw.
Look at the wind speed. If it is Cat 2 then it is Cat 2. Simple as that. Media spin isn’t a part of categorizing storms.
I don’t know. I’ve never used a chain saw.
No kidding. We had a chance to "smell" rain yesterday, and that was it.
Here in NJ, I’m laughing at all the hype. I’m prepared for possible power outage. Other than that, I’m just thankful I cancelled tv a long time ago so I’m not subjected to the over-the-top hype and scare mongering. In Carolina, maybe it’s different. Up here it’s a bunch of nonsense.
Chocolate?
Chocolate?
It can be quite powerful. Not to mention fun.
Corpus Christi, Tx.
Not in the path (this time) thank God.
The season is early and we’re long overdue.
I know, I use my Stihl all the time.
“Problem now is what do I do with all that beef jerky I bought...”
Chop up some really small pieces and sprinkle it in some warm macaroni & cheese. Yum.
Good one!
From Connecticut and we are right in the Bulls-Eye with Irene.Have done what I can to prepare but if the storm is category 2 or more we will be toast.
Not looking foreward to the Aftermath.Only time will tell how bad things are.
Hope it is just rain for you by the time it arrives
Hope it is just rain for you by the time it arrives
So Do I.
i'm with ya on that...
I’m in Manhattan, although not in an area that is prone to flooding. Yesterday, I took a trip to Target and bought some canned goods, bottled water, a flashlight, and a battery-operated radio. Also, I stopped at the liquor store and bought some Bacardi :) . I really don’t think it will be too bad, especially for us in the city.
We live in TriBeCa, right on the edge (but inside) of Flood Zone A. There’s a chance the storm surge plus the high tide might flood my neighborhood.
To my wife’s objections, we bugged out last night to our home in Dutchess County, which is less than 90 miles north of NYC.
I’ve slowly built a post 9/11 compound with food, water and supplies. The few people I have told about my planning think I’m a fringe character. Let’s see if they’re right.
