[robomont]

look how much the msm screamed at a cat 1 in new york,they would have passed out and died at the sight of a katrina/ cat five.
and they werent even at the eye.

when i was a cocoa beach twenty five years ago,the water current was cold and ran north to south,has that changed?how does arctic cold water spurn a hurricane?

"
The gulf stream runs past Coco beach flowing north , the hurricane followed this trail of   "Warm "   water until  it ran into a blocking high with clockwise rotation which steered it into New Jersey.

i think le said something about generators about three weeks ago.
wouldnt it be funny if those rations are for the fema workers and none for the general population.

ITS OFFICIAL

End of the world is HERE

New York evacuates 150,000 people
Obama declasres a DISASTER

even though its only a CAT ONE storm   (compared to CAT FIVE for New Orleans)

but I recall this being said...

Neither Rain nor Sleet nor Skags - The mail must arrive on time

And today the post office has announced there will be DELAYS in the mail due to a storm   

So yeah  its officially the END OF THE WORLD 

Be safe everyone... hold on to a strong post

as the recipient of many a hurricane, tropical storm, tropical depression oh yes and a few typhoons (Army stationed in Okinawa)..I have to shake my head at the sheer craziness the media has made of a small hurricane (downgraded to a tropical storm as it hit land). It was if the world was coming to an end, and to listen to the media go ape crap about this storm. They're still calling it Super Storm Sandy!...
Now don't get me wrong, i wish this on no one, no matter how strong it is..It's just not a lot of fun. But come on people....

[Primus58]

I know, they act like it's the worst ever... it reminds me of a newscast many years ago where a young reporter was doing a newscast from a small boat in the middle of flooded streets; then this guy walks buy next to the boat revealing the truth, it was only a few inches deep. LOL, she made it sound like it was ten feet deep then the screen fills up with some guys legs in rain boots... LOL!

Sadly both some Politicians and media (reporters) fall off the rails at times.

Just seeing reports on the TV in NZ the day after...

1st; My heart goes out to them that have suffered. Especially for those who have lost
their love ones and homes.

We have storms in NZ creating Chaos, but that "Tidal Surge" sure looks nasty !   


It may have been a category 1 but that means nothing really.

Its the casualties and collective damage which matters. 


I have experienced Winds up to 220 Km/h in NZ, but fortunately there were no fires.

We have only small tornadoes in NZ, but we do get the occasional cyclone,
but nowhere as large (in area) as Sandy nor as low readings as Sandy.


I just hope this disaster is NOT made into Political gains or losses!

I think the real concern with Sandy was its potential to mess up Snooki's hair. 

I remember the year my daughter and I went to Seattle shortly after it was hit with a tornado; F0.  People there were still freaking out.  We get F4s and the occasional F5 around here.  We didn't really understand the fuss in Seattle.  It's a matter of perspective.

I need to bully my hubby into calling his bro tonight.  Bryon and family live in WestChester, PA.

Sky, glad your still in one furry piece.  HUGS!!

thanks Shasta...head butt

it's still raining here though..sigh..but no complaints..it could be soooo much worse

hey..have you ever gotten to Longwood Gardens  out there by westchester?
300 acres of some awesome plants and stuff..
lots of mushrooms places also nearby (Kennet Square) and Winterthur (1000 acres of an old dupont estate...the gardens are awesome and the Brandywine art musuesms (Wyeth's)
ahhhhhh i do luv this state..hope they are all ok too

hope the b-i-l  is ok

[Shasta56]

The last time I was in PA was 1967.   Bryon and family make it out here sometimes, but we tend to stay put.  Those gardens sound fascinating.  Might have to get out that way just for that.  I'm thinking Bryon and family are probably okay.  I'm sure we would have heard from Brenda, the sis here in town, otherwise.

I have remember that advice to duck.  My daughter has a low-flyinf chandelier in her dining area.  Ugliiest thing in the world.  I keep trying to break it with my head.

Is Obama Using HAARP to Get Re-Elected?

Here is a video from Alex Jones suggesting that Hurricane Sandy may have been artificially created  to aid Obama to win the Election...

This so that Obama can be seen to be reacting to a major crisis just before the election date and Romney can do little campaigning...

Possibly; I guess he will do anything to get another term, as he is only human too.
Anyone else would do what they could as well...

Like I wrote, Quote;

Perhaps you may be right ?

I just hope it is NOT the case.
