This could cause billions of dollars worth of improvements.
I just called my 80 year old Uncle in NJ and he is in the dark in his house. We didn’t stay on the phone long because we didn’t want to run down his battery. He said he hopes the roof doesn’t come off.
Not makin’ lite of what’s happening,but the gov. up there seems to be more concerned about what size coke people should drink than preparing for something like this.
Federal bailout dollars coming...
Does he have a firearm?
Prayers for your uncle!
I was thinking the same thing. Too late now if he doesn’t, but I am guessing he does. He lives in the burbs, “bedroom community” type place.
1. All those people who stayed in Manhattan, because they live in high-risers, now realzie that their elevators don't work.
2. Just about every hi-rise apt building in Manhattan has underground parking..often 40-50 feet BELOW ground level..think of all those Caddys, Mercedes, Jags, and the odd Rolls and Ferrari, now totally submerged..
Imagine if this were a cat 3 or higher storm with more of a direct hit? It would make Katrina look like a summer outing.
Advisable since gangs are planning looting forays via Twitter. Source: Drudge.
Prayers for everyone in the path of this horrible storm.
Many of those submerged cars will show up in used car lots in the Midwest. Make sure you use carfax when purchasing a used car or have it inspected by a mechanic.
You may not have intended it but your post sounds snarky. I have 2 children in NYC. Honestly, I have been amazed at how nice most people are. I always thought New Yorkers were some sort of alien to live in a city that size (I live in Denver). Both kids are holed up in an apartment in the financial district but have no power. It is difficult to not be able to do anything.
If it's going on via Twitter then I imagine there will be vigilante groups before long. They can watch Twitter too.
“Mammoth storm Sandy”
Katrina, Cat 5, 175mph
Allen, Cat 5, 190mph
Andrew, Cat 5, 175mph
Camille, Cat 5, 190mph measured before it destroyed the measuring instruments.
Sandy, Cat 1, 90mph. (the “monster storm” in history, because it happened in the belt between DC and NYC, the most important place on earth. Also, gave Obozo a chance to play master and commander of the far side of the earth)
They are supposed to get flood titles, but who knows.
Get a life and stop with the spam.
