Why does Jersey always have to one up New York. Is Christie that insecure?

Bonanza Jellybean		2012-10-30 02:05:13 AM

Jesus fark, this is pretty grim shiat. I guess living on the East Coast and dealing with mostly tons of snow at worst has left me clueless about what it must be like to live in regular hurricane country.

crab66		2012-10-30 02:05:14 AM

So how big is the oil slick at this point?

AverageAmericanGuy		2012-10-30 02:05:28 AM

When it rains, it pours.

It's worse.

Chris Christie is overweight

Gee, maybe Jersey City needs a new building inspector?

How else was mother nature going to wipe out the cast of Jersey Shore.

With the newflashs, video tag, and this background someone will have a seziure

Barack Obama doesn't care about orange people.

ArtosRC		2012-10-30 02:14:50 AM

Well, at least it won't smell as bad after this.

/probably not

I wouldn't hold my breath....

We don't need bad weather as an excuse for chaos and looting in Los Angeles.

davidphogan		2012-10-30 02:20:42 AM

What's the simultaneous Newsflashes on the main page at the same time record? Are the admins just trolling us now?

ArgusRun		2012-10-30 02:22:01 AM

Doom!

North jersey is well hit, though the storm peaked a while ago. Winds calmer now. There's a house split in half by a tree down the road.

Still seeing some arcing power lines off in the distance. All tri-state deaths so far are from falling limbs. Stay inside and away from trees people.

davidphogan		2012-10-30 02:22:25 AM

Wait, a building above the Holland Tunnel is falling apart? Wouldn't that be bad news for the tunnel beneath it?

Huck And Molly Ziegler		2012-10-30 02:22:35 AM

Sopranos first thing I thought of, too. Of course, I don't know the show's geographic setting, aside from just "New Jersey."
But to the mayor and police chief, I just want to say good luck - they're all counting on you.

taxandspend		2012-10-30 02:23:44 AM

Anyone know of any live video of the storm? All I can find are news reports.

sprawl15		2012-10-30 02:24:04 AM

davidphogan: Wait, a building above the Holland Tunnel is falling apart? Wouldn't that be bad news for the tunnel beneath it?

Well, most of Holland is under sea level, so it could lead to a chain breaching of dikes and a global tulip shortage.

puffy999		2012-10-30 02:24:04 AM

Well. ...

...F*ck.

DeltaPunch		2012-10-30 02:25:50 AM

They should call Cory Booker, according to his Twitter feed he's been personally responding to nearly every disaster brought to his attention.

Don't know that fark handle.
But coco ebert is doin' a doctorate in anthropology out thataway - focus on American unions, of all things.

SN1987a goes boom		2012-10-30 02:26:41 AM

Maybe this is God's way of douching out the festering v-jay that is Jersey.

davidphogan: What's the simultaneous Newsflashes on the main page at the same time record? Are the admins just trolling us now?

Not sure if it's a record, but a lot of major events are occurring in NYC. Flooding bad enough that it's make it extremely difficult for firefighters to get to a house fire in Queens. The explosion at a Con-Ed substation. Evacuation of NYU Medical Center after their backup generators failed, this being done despite flooded streets. Some of the patients being evacuated are newborns from NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). They're especially fragile since some of them were born prematurely.

He's also seems to prefer gay gates to straight gates.

I just saw a few of those after I had posted, but I just wasn't sure if it was because of all the headlines they had greenlit mocking the storm before it started, you know, killing people and stuff.

I keep saying holy crap. I haven't been to NYC since I moved from Buffalo, but it always has been one of my favorite cities and it sucks to see it falling into a hellish situations. It just seems like it might be easier to keep track of things in one thread instead of multiple.

Stage two of the apocalypse?

"Romo wins his team a championship. No, not that one, the other one"

That was still on the main page when I posted as well.

Yeah I've heard that's where they keep the babies that need intensive care.
