Re: Hurricane Irene

Pretty much exactly what I expected, gg statistics, eff you overhyping news reportards

idk dude my neighborhood is a pretty big mess, power lines and trees everywhere. Forests around here are very old, with a lot of weak or dead trees just waiting for an excuse to ruin someone's day.

Hour #20 without power. Our house looks like a sacrificial altar with all the candles. Trying to keep boredom away with books and blunts. Estimated time until power is restored: six days. Kill me now.

Re: Hurricane Irene

It wasn't too much hype. There were double-digit deaths involved. What was predicted for us was from foreshadowing what we already witnessed more down south probably over actual statistics. Whatever the reason, the hurricane did damage, be thankful you didn't drive somewhere and have a tree land on your car.

In other news, Boston streets (Chelsea, Everett etc...) were covered in branches. Entire commuter system was offline today (which sucks).

Yes but the branches, etc are to be expected. I did my own stat-crunching and it was pretty darn close to what actually happened. It's just common sense not to go driving near areas with trees during this type of storm, but it's not like we needed to stock up on all sorts of supplies (like so many here in NYC and Jersey did).

Yeah, it's a "prepare for the worst" type of thing, but still. The rational outcomes don't justify the high risk aversions, which stemmed from ignorance.

I cannot figure out why people bought out all of the stores of their bottled water for the hurricane. For one, do you really need 12L of drinking water for a cat1/2? And for the second... can't you just get water from the faucet before the storm anyway?

Re: Hurricane Irene

I didn't lose power at all. But most people in this area lost it at like noon and don't have it back. My friend contacted me and asked if he could hang at my place cause he didn't have power. So we chilled and went old school mario party 1 and made bets for lolz.

lots of houses let you get water from the tap even after the power goes out. Depends on what your water source is. People are just kinda impressionable.

If the power goes out we can't get water from the tap. Plus they don't recommend drinking water from the tap after a storm hits because of possible contamination. I don't drink from the tap anyway, the water at my mom's house doesn't smell good to me. No idea what it is. So me buying bottled water before the storm was normal anyway lol. Did buy a little extra in case we couldn't get anywhere for a while. Which there's actually flooding and trees down like all around our area.


Damn watch some of the videos in this article http://news.yahoo.com/york-dodges-ir...010851568.html There's a whole bunch showing the damage from all over the east coast. Some of it is sick.
