Prayers for all the FReepers in the path, that they will evacuate when it seems appropriate, and there will be no deaths for anyone in this hurricane.

I and many others are not happy with Mayor Bloomberg’s many anti-freedom and pro-social debasement policies. But as an executive in a time of crisis he is at the rank of a Giuliani. He’s very good, energetic, mature, and on top of things.

The opposite of Obama, of Nagin, of Dinkins.

Does anyone know what is happening at arlington national cemetary?

Is the honor guard still at the tomb of the unknown?

Thanks for the thread. I hope we don’t lose power for 3 days like we did after Isabel. Then it’s Blackberry time.

Buckets of water work great for flushing the toilet. Do not hit the handle. Just pour enough water in to flush out the bowl. Also we put food from the fridge into the freezer and then we don’t open the lid. Everyday items like milk and cheese go in a cooler. Good luck.

Is it within the realm of possibility that weather forecasters and weather networks are EXAGERATING the severity of Irene ? In otherwords, are they "bumping" UP Irene from a Category 1 to a Category 2 or Category 3 ?

Irene should be taken seriously. People SHOULD prepare.

However with that in mind, I have personally witnessed Irene classified as a Category 4 earlier today by the WeatherNetork.com Irene was then DOWNGRADED to a Category 3 later on this afternoon.

I don't trust the LEFT. I don't trust Obama and his hacks in the MSM including those delivering the "news" about the weather.

I am waiting for the first report of police finding people with their pants down going at it, afterwards saying “Oh, you meant EVACuation”....

Better to be safe than sorry, I suppose.

They’ve cried wolf so many times it’s hard to know what to believe. Just in case, it couldn’t hurt to have supplies and a backup plan in place.

Left Cape Cod on the Bay shore this morning at my husbands request. . . to come home to northern NJ. Seems like it will be even worse here than there.

Mostly for NYC residents but for any who live in cities where those wooden water tanks grace the skyline: They can be destroyed in storms. I’m sure there will be some other way to get water, but it can’t hurt to stock up on the bottled kind. People are buying it by the case here.

Look for an orgy of looting once the lights go out. With an unarmed citezenry, who’s going to stop them?
