Hows new york holding up?
 

Anyone got pics or videos they made themselfs?

I grew up in the tri-state area there and I don't recall a hurricane ever hitting there. Was I just not paying attention?

it was just flattened. millions dead injured or missing. not funny dude.

08/26/2011. never forget.

We get a hurricane every once in a while.

I remember Floyd. My cousin was having a birthday party and it was crazy outside. Was too young to remember Bob. Don't really remember Isabel either.

That said, NY gets hit about once every five years by a hurricane of some sort. This might be the worst in a long time, though. And it looks like it'll be a direct hit, which is pretty rare.

good luck guys, stay safe.,

god bless u all.

Oh, I also wanted to add that ice storms usually kill power longer than most hurricanes will. It's not unusual for us to loser power for a 1-3 weeks after getting 2-3 inches of ice with any sort of wind. Happens once every two to three years (major outages.)

New York City doesn't have this issue. Their power grid is more stable than it is where I am (about 50 miles upstate.)

Me too. I remember hurricanes, but really they were just like bad storms by the time they get up north.

North and South Carolina are looking like it is coming or getting stronger on earthcam.

I hope it doesnt hit, i really dont want to have to endure 10 years of tribute and rememberance documentaries as well as loads of Hollywood films about it.

Isabel, Gloria and Floyd were about the worst I recall. Lots of downed trees and rain.
These days most major supermarkets have generators of their own and the 'warning' hype has been so ridiculously overplayed for days that every possible response entity is already buzzing around on their highest possible alert.

My bet is we all live through it and 10 years from now a thread about the new storm will include mention of Irene along with the others... nothing more. :2 cents:

Is it true that they are already canceling flights? A friend of mine is staying with me in town and she said her flight got canceled already for saturday.

They are shutting down all mass transit starting noon tomorrow. I know that includes city buses, subways etc... I'd presume it includes flights as well.

ecnalubmA there now!

this really sucks, hope it will be losing its power before it hit NYC

just hitting North Carolina/Southern Virginia .. just a few more hours till it starts to rain in NYC

amazing, folks are waving, no rain yet but going to start raining in 15 mins or less

Pics of what? Even the outer fringes of Irene weren't expected to hit NY for another 42 hours after you started this thread. And the eye wasn't expect to hit until 54 hours after you started this thread. So what in the fuck were you expecting people to be posting about?

I hope it destroys NYC. God that would be so fucking awesome.

I dare a GFYer to go there and show cock on that cam lol

Check back tomorrow

hasn't come yet.... just a lot of clouds and light rain right now

Yes Juicy should do that :1orglaugh

nothing yet here, but a friend posted something intesting on FB saying that NYC heads are using this as an excuse to do a state of emergency test here, since they stoped all mass transit at noon, and evacuated coast areas, etc.

NYC has been one of the safest places as far as natural disasters... Fuck I just moved 10 minutes north to westchester and I am parked under a big tree. :helpme

Never seen that earthcam.com before it is pretty neat, do the people just wave randomly or do they know they are being watched?
