I live in NYC and Irene will be a TROPICAL STORM with 40 mph winds tops in the city when it hits tomorrow.
And Lord Bloomberg shuts down the city and kills the economy for 3 days for a TROPICAL STORM?
stormpulse* (updated 5pm) begs to differ, by 30-35mph. also it's hitting at high tide. but what's 75-88% when trying to make a point? I'm so technical.
you don't have to like Bloomberg, but this and the evac were the right call.
* - I used stormpulse to eliminate anyone's questioning the credibility/conflict of interest of the weather channel.
After Katrina, politicians aren’t taking any chances of being blamed for a catastrophe on their watch. Better safe than sorry.

How do you know? I live on Long Island, and none of the meterological reports have it downgraded to a tropical storm.
Testing...testing...testing. Perfect opportunity to see how the masses react to government control, wouldn’t you say?

It’s down to a cat I, that’s not enough to do a good job of flushing all the turds in NYC out to sea. Real shame, but if you believe the media this is the second coming.
Perhaps he’s trying to stop the looters. Did you think of that?
