State Of Emergency is declared ahead of brutal Hurricane Irene

[bahodeme]

Power is off right now and I'm using my generator. Looks like only 1 tree fatality and it didn't take out any power lines. Then again if someone in the neighborhood sneezes the power grid goes out.

Oh the humanity!

A single tree is a tragedy, a million trees is a statistic.

Manhattan's Great Escape: New York City spared the worst of Irene, with flood water already receding and winds calming

* Downgraded from hurricane to tropical storm
* Water breaks the banks of the East River but already receding
* Power cuts reported to be affecting up to four million but only 200,000 New Yorkers
* Mayor had warned New Yorkers would be waking up to possible hurricane and TORNADO damage
* Unprecedented evacuation of five New York hospitals
* BUT hurricane appears to be less fierce than expected by the time it hit New York

I dunno. I guess I'm not as good at the moral indignation thing as others. :dunno::hairpull:

I wonder if the political right is secretly hoping that Irene takes the whole state of New York into the ocean? It seems their best hope for 2012.

Come on dirk. You're a hockey player and you know most all hockey players are conservative. Why hate conservatives so much?

I don't hate conservatives at all! Republicans, though, I hate about as much as I hate Democrats.

Good statement.

I'll flip it a bit for my point of view.

I respect Republicans as much as I respect Democrats.

Some people are preparing for more than the hurricane!
