THAT'S 57TH STREET. SHIT. I LIVE BY THERE. THERE ARE CONSTRCTION ZONES NEXT TO MY HOUSE. SHIIIIIIIT.

There was a whole scandal recently about unsafe cranes collapsing and hitting buildings. I live near the second avenue subway (currently the largest construction progect in the US) and there are cranes all over there. SHIT SHIT SHIT.

jeysus.

also: my 'I wonder why people want to live in America, sometimes' was not something to be taken seriously. please install your 'awful internet humour' sensors or fix them.

"I wonder why people want to live in America?" is internet humor but "Bacon and cheese stuffed Pizza Burger" is a too-serious response?
Perhaps he thinks that in america, Mentioning Bacon burger is akin to throwing down the gauntlet.

Most of the woods been chainsawed and shoved in that trailer to the right (I should have taken a picture before the cleanup started or during the chainsawing, but meh), and the power lines were wrapped up and safely stored in our rose bush. For some reason. Not my idea.

It was just house lines, not main lines, which is the reason I'm still around to post this. :P

Update on the Bounty. Two crew still missing but reportedly in survival suits.

Also this from the BBC liveblog;
Quote
1511: Reports of flood damage are coming in from other parts of the East Coast. The tiny, 37-square-mile island of Chincoteague, Virginia, is under water, the Associated Press has reported.
1511: There are 3,500 residents left with no way off the island, after a road connecting to the mainland was closed earlier on Monday. The water is reported to be 3ft (90cm) deep in some places and there is no emergency shelter on the island. Officials imposed a noon curfew and have told everyone to stay indoors.

It is. A delicious, meaty gauntlet.


Pressure continues to drop (940mb). My see some last-minute strengthening before landfall.


Also, *this* is why you don't jump on a trampoline in a hurricane.
Spoiler: Milford, CT (click to show/hide)

EDIT: Oh that sucks about Chincoteague. I hope they were able to do something with the horses:-[

It would be kinda awesome to grab hold of that trampoline's sides and go on an epic journey trough America on a flying magical trampoline.

Nearly 500,000 without power now. NY is hardest hit with 144,333. And the highs tomorrow won't get out of the low 50s, upper 40s in some places. Lows near freezing tonight.

EDIT: Boston reports 3 hours of sustained 40mph+ winds, with a gust of 62mph.

Man, I hate it for all of you folks up north, but at the same time I'm glad this thing didn't come at us. Other than the Outer Banks, it looks like our 12-year streak of dodging major storms will continue.



Man, I just can't watch any of these anymore without thinking of this.

ITS RAINING SIDEWAYS! NO WAIT ITS RAINING NORMAL I'M SIDEWAYS
