Let us all know you're ok after it passes.
aavkk Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Its looking like the storm will take a beating from the Carolinas and be significantly weaker when it gets to NYC, maybe just a tropical storm by then. Sure, its a big storm with very relevant flood concerns but as of the update 1:40 minutes ago I'm not all that concerned about significant wind damage in NYC. The only channel more sensationalized than FOX is the Weather Channel.
tinknocker924 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 i live along the south shore of nassau county about a mile away from the ocean and theres already talk about possible evacuation so i have my bags packed incase i have to find higher ground ofcourse that would mean staying with my girlfriends family which is just as bad lol..im hoping for the best
riazp Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 to all the BOTL's that are in the way of Irene, be safe, I hope that none of you or your family get hurt and that dammage will be minimal...lets hope this is just blown out of proportion
Deemancpa Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I'm on an emergency team at work.I have $5k in cash and $50k line on the company card.....Lisa please do not have a Live at the humidor this weekend!
Colt45 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 If your drunk, NOTHING can hurt you! I don't know that it's so much a matter of being drunk as much as it is having one's priorities straight and being prepared. How many people will be stocking up on milk, bread, water, etc - and for what? If it hits hard where you are, you'll have a lot more to worry about than food stores. Otherwise, I can buy water, bread, milk, etc, the day after without interuption - just like I'd be able after a major winter storm. And I'm not making light - but I'd rather ride it out with beer, rum, and wine than water and milk - but that's me.
BobKincaid Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I'm off to the liquor store for supplies! THERE'S the man with the plan! Don't forget extra lighters and matches!
mbrody Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I'm all set - except for a nice growler of beer from the local Beverage Distributor...then I will truly be 100% ready (like colt). It seems that the biggest problem with this storm is going to be the surge... Be safe everyone!

Looks like things are going to get a little flavorful! They always exaggerate these things though - it's a conspiracy of the Break/Milk/Water/Batteries cartel to scare old ladies. I've got a robust stock of Havana cigars to keep me company while I sit in my basement to make sure it doesn't flood.
