FUCK! I just lost a aunt to this fucking storm.

Subways are apparently flooding. The fucking NYSE floor is under three feet of water. You want to know how to cripple a city like NYC? Take notes from this storm, and then make sure the next storm landfalls as a CAT 3 or higher, not a CAT 1.

This is lame. I expected destructive gale force winds. My power hasn't even gone out. This storm's weaker than Irene.

Where do you work some kind of super market?

I work for the City of New York.

I went outside just a few seconds tonight, in my little town of the north, and the wind is heavy, continuous and with such a powerful oppressive feel. I can't imagine how terrible it is down in the south. I wish the better luck to Americans who will be and are already being hit very hard by the hurricane Sandy.

It is pretty crazy out there, I mean my dad have to leave for work at Sheraton yesterday because of the hurricane and with the guests having to stay among other things, it tells you something.

Granted it wasn't as bad a New Jersey but still, the wind can blow away David Wells.

That's how I feel but a few people in other places are dead so I reckon we just aren't getting the bad part.

Winds have reached up to 100 mph out here, my mom and stranded and a lot of tunnels are flooded and closed. Same with the subways.

Hopefully it doesn't end up being overly serious and passes within a day or two at the most.

Can't believe I've forgot to mention Haiti, also hit very hard by the hurricane and probably harder because of the actual situation, and Cuba. Our thoughts be with you.

But these last two will be hit harder thant the US. Reports said 51 deaths in Haiti so far. That's just terrible...

Sandy Causes Explosion in train tunnels KILLS OVER 10 PEOPLE -NYC

and lots of black outs.

I'm worried about my husband traveling to and from the overnight shift at his job. We have supplies, but I'd rather not ride this out alone, you know?

Wind and rain are crazy here. Still have power, but the worst is yet to come. Some of the subways are already flooded.

Gonna try and get some sleep. If I don't have power, I need to call my boss tomorrow (I work remotely) so he knows everyone is accounted for.

If one person tries to leave the city, you all die!

Geez, I feel kind of bad for the Sandy victims. God, it sucks for them.

Yeah I did hear recently on the news about the backup generator going down at the New York University hospital. Thats pretty scary when you think about all the patients, including babies and children in the ICUs relying on machinery to keep them breathing.

My God, apparently it's going to get worse! :/

So I just saw that 13 people at least have been killed according to some shitty news site over night in a major city.

Considering people were warned this thing was coming and told not to be near it, I claim this hurricane is the herald of natural selection.

this hurricane is going to kill us all

this is the end times

r.i.p

Manhatten and boston just got swamped by 20-30the ft tidal surges lol the apartments nearby are destroyed and the subway tunnels are ruined and will take month or two to repair by officials LOL.

This is why I don't live near coasts.

Fuck this dumb ass storm. At first I didn't give a damn. I can't suddenly access half the important shopping sites I want to go to because a single umbrella site is having issues.

Fucking hell.

In New Jersey, Exelon Corp declared an alert around its Oyster Creek nuclear power plant because of rising waters, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said. Officials said if waters rise further, they may be forced to use emergency water supplies from a fire hose to cool spent uranium fuel rods.

An alert-level incident, the second-lowest of four action levels, means there's a "potential substantial degradation in the level of safety" at a reactor.

Hopefully it doesn't get there.

Looks like Earth just joined the Occupy movement.

East Coast meet climate change.

Anyone else think as the years go on this is going to get more frequent and worse?

Nice to be snug and dry in Chicago.

Have any of these things ever hit the west coast? It always seems its the east that gets the shit pounded out of them.

perhaps once every few years. and they are usually tropical storms/depressions. conditions there are unfavourable for cyclone development.

also, this thing should be over by now.

If I lived in the West Coast, I'd worry about devastating earthquakes more than hurricanes. That's much worse since at least with hurricanes, we can plan and evacuate well in advance.

My neighborhood (and I live in NYC) seems to be fine considering what has happened in many other parts of the city, and in the whole metropolitan area. I expected a lot more damage in my neighborhood than what I actually got. Trees were falling in other parts of the neighborhood, but the big one I thought would hit my building luckily did not. Flooding was almost non-existent, and no electricity was lost where I live. Still, there's so much chaos in many other neighborhoods that I might as well try helping out anyone that needs it.

Damn it feels good to live on the west coast

Also it helps that your team just won the World Series.
