Bring it on. Leaving MA back for VT tomorrow morning, so I should be able to get a weekend of fishing in without getting too wet. I think a lot of this gets overhyped anyway.

Now thats scary.


Well the beach area by me in South Jersey is being evacuated so looks like your plan might be finished,

All of my grandparents are being forced to evacuate the island they live on.There is a possibility the area I live in might be evacuated as well.I guess its fortunate I live on an hill, should help with any flooding.

I think the last bad hurricane I experienced was Isabel in 03.

I live in New England and that thing is coming straight for my town. It's gonna get wild :/

i hope and pray it takes no lives.

Us Rhode Islanders have prepared for this, we've weakened the ground around our borders and will sail away from you all. So long!

You're not even a real island, leave the detaching to us pros.

I know! I know! Pick me teacher! :nerd:

Its a three letter acronym and begins and ends with the same letter. :celebration:

/dons tin foil hat. The "media" said this may be of historic proportions. The big hurricane that hit Lawn Guyland and New England in 1944 (causing extreme damage and loss of life) wasn't as direct a hit as this one is expected to be.

Who is supposed to get hit the worst? How bad us this going to be?

Damn... Japan gets hit by a once in a century mega quake, Virginia has a once in a century earthquake, several places achieved record temperatures, and now the Northeast is about to get hit by a rare hurricane.

Odd weather for 2011.

:mellow: ... :unsure: .... :nope: ...... :ahhh:

!!!

Getting ready for 2012.

My parents just replaced all their stuff after Tropical Cyclone Yasi, I sure hope you make it okay.

You won't be allowed at the Jersey Shore. They've closed it and evacuated everyone. My co-worker has a house there for the summer and was all excited to go get drunk and act like a friggin' [censored] but he got a phone call from one of his room-mates and the cops made him leave.

My wife's aunt is also down the shore and she said the same thing. Cops were knocking on people's doors yesterday telling them to leave.

Play video games all weekend!!1!

Yeah don't see many hurricanes making landfall in the NE. I remember one a number of years ago though, 6-8 years maybe..back when I had cable and had TWC on all the time. Hopefully it dies, but even still..Hurricanes are just mass forms of catastrophe..whether it be from the hurricane winds itself or the system jetting out crap tons of rain..not to mention the increased chance/likelihood of tornadoes and other severe weather damage. Hopefully it's minimal though.

I can't help but feel excited about extreme weather, even though the damage is always a downside..even when it happens to me. Maybe I'm morally inept! So I apologize to all you people who are gonna be getting affected by this, for feeling this way.

Pff, wimps. There was a period on the gulf where we would get a hurricane every year, sometimes two a year. Coolest thing ever is looking up into the eye of the hurricane when it's right over you.

Agreed. There are fault lines in the central , eastern and eastern parts of the US, and offshore atlantic.
Florida is always on the alert for hurricanes, but our neck seems to benfit greatly from the gulf stream.
Biggest overlooked danger in hurricanes is flooding. Lower category storms are much slower moving and dump rain over a continus period of time, causing major overload to drainage grids. People drown in cars trying to cross intersections they didn't realize were as deeply underwater or flooded.

The human mind is a weird thing... this storm may affect millions of people's plans and put billions of property at risk and what was my first thought?
"Oh noes! Leydenne's cat!"

I think I should blame cats more than anything. They had to go and be so adorable and get into our heads like that.

It's supposed to be passing through Maryland tomorrow.

That is only the first phase of their evil master plan :stare:

Sounds pretty bad, good luck to all of you in it's path. Good thing the weather here is BORING! Of course, boring is good. It doesn't kill you or destroy your house ^_^
