No, just pointing out that there's already a huge ongoing discussion thread on the main page. It will probably exceed 1,000 within a few hours.

And I'm sorry if you feel that way, but that wasn't my intent.

Yahbut, that's a hurricane thread. This is a hurrican thread. Where other threads hurricant, this one can!

Earguy		2012-10-29 08:34:00 AM

So I guess we're rolling out a new thread for the morning. Good morning all!

Two miles inland from Atlantic City. Still just wind and rain here, no loss of electricity or even satellite TV reception. Reports of barrier islands (Atlantic City, Ventor, Margate, Ocean City, etc.) flooding. Atlantic City tidal gauge: Tide height should be 4.75 feet. Actual height: 8.15 feet. Storm surge of about 3.5 feet.

Some guy on my facebook has evacuated Long Beach Island, but he set up two webcams before he left. Nothing much so far. Link

not a drop here yet, just some wind. Raining and flooding down by work though, so I'm staying in.

Earguy		2012-10-29 08:41:41 AM

Also from Facebook this morning:

Captured the shot on the left from the live OC cam feeds 2 hrs ago at 3rd St., ocean breaching the sand berm. Captured the same spot (on the right) 10 min ago, no berm left. Nothing but ocean...and a crazy person out there in it! If ppl are going to be foolish and stay, at least don't pull stunts like this. Sheesh!

Any storm surge predictions? Have they changed from yesterday?

ThisIsNotSubtle		2012-10-29 08:52:57 AM

Do we know where Jim Cantore is at the moment? Him being the harbinger of weather horror and all, that seems a useful thing to know.

dodecahedron		2012-10-29 08:53:55 AM

battery park, I believe.

Elegy		2012-10-29 08:57:18 AM

You know, as a long time gulf coast resident, I am usually overcome with glee when the east coast is hit by a hurricane.

Promptly followed by mucho sadness when I realize that you farkers will get to take the day off and drink, while I'm stuck at work.

Stay thirsty (and safe), my friends.

Girion47		2012-10-29 09:01:28 AM

WOOHOO, I wonder how the house I sold back in February is going to hold up to this. It won't get flooding but there are a ton of very large trees around it.

Everyone everyone waves waves are coming to town and then wind wind jumps around. Sandy Sandy blows the sand around town, then poo poo goes in the pants

Has anyone considered the impact of 60 Hudson St. being underwater for an extended period of time?

I'm still amazed at the amount of flooding already pictured and reported.

bowtiesheep		2012-10-29 09:06:51 AM

Last year I got a freak blizzard from Mother Nature on my birthday.
This year, some chick named Sandy.

Thanks, mom.

/love being shut inside on Party Day

marius2		2012-10-29 09:08:07 AM

It's pretty damn calm here still in Chesapeake, VA. Apparently the storm will hit us again tonight, but it just looks like a crappy day out. No rain, not much wind. Apparently some near historic flooding though.

Given that the Internet is a system that was specifically designed to automatically reroute traffic if a network node is disabled, I imagine life will continue. It might impact your stream of Gangnam Style.

The Army Corps of Engineers said that a Cat2 hurricane could put JFK under 5 feet of water... so uh... why did you all build it there again?

SockMonkeyHolocaust		2012-10-29 09:08:46 AM

Hi from third street in Philly. I think it's raining out. I haven't checked yet.

earthwirm		2012-10-29 09:08:49 AM

It's just a little wind and rain... Sheesh. Between Ike, Rita, Katrina the Gulf Coast says... Just desserts. All this panicking over a Cat 1. Muahahahahah.

Looks like Rove's Hurricane Machine is back online.

You want an impressive storm? Go look at Gilbert.

Anyone remember Hurrican Mitch? Didn't think so.

/did you bite?

yeah.. but my concern was all the sewer rats that would be seeking higher ground. everyone in NYC needs to keep an eye out for varmints.

Two miles inland from Atlantic City. Barrier islands already getting hammered.

As for me, my lawn is squooshy from the overnight soaking rain, we've had winds 35mph.

Jim has left Battery Park, Stephanie has taken his place. Have not seen Jim on the WC yet. He's probably heading toward the Jersey shore or inland to the blizzard.

Will the landlords unlock the doors leading to the roof so black people can get helicoptered off the high-rises apartments?

Yeah, I've been having that lately, too. Slept 3 hours or so on Monday night, didn't get to sleep again until 11 or so on Wednesday, and then only slept for an hour or so. I have these nights where I've taken so many pain killers, muscle relaxers, sleeping meds and beer that I should be dead, instead I'm just awake. Hell, I got 3 hours last night and may be up for the day now.

I like the '$20 says I'm drunker than you' part, that made me LOL. Now to see if I can get back to sleep...

evilhomer2300		2012-10-29 09:12:22 AM

A few serious gusts here on Cape Cod, but still have power for now. Considering staying home from work.

FLMountainMan		2012-10-29 09:12:28 AM

Unpossible. Democrats cannot be racist. OTOH, Rethuglikkkans are racist to their very core.

It's been rumored that the poor in New Orleans are saying this storm has affected their shacks, and need gov't assistance, and a free trip to Houston to loot-----I mean to have a safe place to stay.

/yeah it's a 7 year old joke. I've got nothing this Monday morning.
