East Coast NTers...First an Earthquake, now a Hurricane? Vol. Irene

[DrizzyNYC]

My family is heading upstate I live in far Rockaway in a tall building so I will just ride it out.

 

[jdi23]

My body is ready.

 

[mondaynightraw]

Irene is capable of utter destruction in Manhattan, and across long island.

 

[scshift]

Well damn... it just got real

I hope it swerves off to the east and dies off into the upper Atlantic... please don't wreck Northeastern America

 

[al audi]

a lot of flood cars gonna be for sale soon

 

[buggz05]

Realtalk there are very few "safe areas" in this country. Good luck people.

Not worried

these hurricanes are usually hype

 

[bkmac]

Breaking News on CNN said winds could pick up to 115 MPH in NYC 

 

.

I'm bracing myself for some heavy !$% rain, that's about it. Lazy Sunday will be in full effect!

This.

Houston head here, and I just want to tell you guys to be safe if you're in the path of this Hurricane. I seen my fair share of Hurricanes. Don't take it lightly.

I'm supposed to be heading back to school on Sunday, freshmen move in on Saturday.
I would imagine that the school would move up the moving in dates in times like this

And Koudie, stay safe since you live on the beach. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

Thanks bro..

 

[jello b afro]

nah this is serious. they're gonna shut down all public transportation in nyc on saturday and demand evacuation from coastal areas, which are obviously the hardest hit.

my mom lives on LI and she's surrounded by huge trees. she's pretty scared. doesn't help that she's in front of the weather channel all day

this ain't to be taken lightly

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

This. Don't know what it is. I actually enjoy stuff like snow storms

But like you said,

Y'all stay safe NT fam, I was in the direct path of Irene about two days ago in WPB, FL but luckily it veered off to the right and we didn't get anything outside of a few showers and some wind. Hopefully that cold front stalls a little to help push Irene futher off into the Atlantic but it doesn't look like it from what I saw in the weather channel.

Just prepare accordingly and don't take the storm lightly cause it looks like it could do some serious damage.

That's the crazy part to me, that they're going to shut down all public transportation early Sat afternoon I think Bloomberg said.  Or was he keeping the lines that are near areas needing to be evacuated open until they get everyone out?  If it's that bad, you'd think they'd shut the market down if that continues into Monday.  I don't even remember if they shut down all the train lines during 9/11.

Anyone in Hudson county NJ? How are you guys preparing?

I really don't know if I should take this serious or not. Everytime they say something like a Tornado watch or Hurricane watch, it never happens.

NT NYC/NJ summit during the 'cane?

 

[gregzzy23]

Living right off the beach is going to suck. Is it better to keep all windows closed? Man, I hope its just some crazy rain+winds and nothing is damaged.


Stay safe
