Depends. The battery was under 13.5 feet. Others are simply submerged. Others are just barely a foot.
"The Battery" is Battery Park, am I right?

Here in Pittsburgh, promised power outrage has failed to materialize.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Fires are raging. Holy shit. Fires are spreading everywhere. Transformers are snapping like nobodies buisness.

So, the hurricane passed by Vermont yesterday, and like usual, it was disappointing, to say the least. We got 3 inches of rain, at the most, in Concord. I can only hope it will pass by again, closer this time. I want snow, damn it.

EDIT: And like, 2 seconds after I posted that, it started pouring.

The picture of half of new york blacked out is pretty mindboggling, when you think about it.

OK, so maybe I was talking shit about this hypercane in the WTF thread, but it seems to be some kind of historical, biblical, one-off natural disaster in the making.

I feel a little disappointed that up here in Michigan the only thing I'm getting is a bit of snow rain and some ominous, chilly winds. I won't say anything else in case I wind up having to eat my words later.

Especially if it's because the blizzacane traps you in your house and words are the only available form of food.


Yeah, the damage is pretty staggering. No one has really brought this up, but I think the various meteorologists deserve a round of applause. If this had somehow fallen apart before getting here, everyone would have said, "Oh they always say it's going to be bad, they don't have a fucking clue."

But when they get it right, no one thinks to say "Damn...nice job, guys."
So yeah....nice job, weather guys.

And I still don't expect climate change to become an election topic.

You obviously didn't understand anything SalmonGod. It's been snowing earlier than ever. That's like, the definite proof that global warming is an hoax.

Place your bets now on how big the population surge will be in Aug/Sept next year.

More like Jul/Aug. Also, how many of those babies are going to be named Sandy?  :P

Effects really being felt into the Ohio Valley today. Bureau is closing up shop in most of West Virginia, and pretty much all the stuff that was shut down yesterday (DC to Boston) is still down today. Fed gov't is still closed today in DC.

I imagine Sandy will be retired off the hurricane name lists after all this.
