The Kaousuu Weather Network: Hurricane Earl

[LMNO]

So when do we get the fiery oil/lightning storms Michael Bay promised us?

Bump.  Why haven't we heard anything about what Earl is doing to the BP plume that made it around the tip of Florida?

[AFK]

Because, Lindsay Lohan just got out of jail/rehab/whatever and posed for a magazine spread.

[East Coast Hustle]

probably because Earl isn't coming anywhere close to Florida.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

INVINCIBLE!

Also- there isn't much being said about any oil in the gulf now. Probably because of what RWHN said.

Americans have short attention spans. Or at least our media does. I guess lingering ecological damage isn't interesting to them

[LMNO]

Feh.  I saw that new Spike Lee Documentary about New Orleans, "If the Creek Don't Rise", and the last third of it talks about the oil spill.  It depressed the ever-living fuck out of me.

I'm still sick as hell, and we've got forecast models putting it right over us on Saturday now, since he's slowing down. 

I'm planning on leaving work as early as possible on Friday and getting down to South County to get SOME readings and photos before evac'ing back to Providence...or most likely, crashing in Warren, drinking way too much and watching it roll in from East Bay. They say it's only going to be a Cat 2 when it hits us, but if the hurricane barrier for whatever reason fails, or it's a Cat 4 still, Providence will go under, and I'll be stranded with no power and little food on a hill in the ghetto.

Any news on the family, ECH?

[East Coast Hustle]

family is OK, house is OK, trees are still standing though any fruit that was left on them is gone.

I've been informed that once we dock, we will have one day to restock and unload before we have to flee upriver as the new projections seem to indicate that our normal berth may not be as safe as our insurance company would like.

We need to invent some sort of hurricane drinking game.

[Suu]

I just started a new thread.

[Eater of Clowns]

Yeah, if the Bourne and Sagamore bridges aren't closed I'm still hitting the Cape.  Hurricane party sounds like my own unique brand of stupid.

[Suu]

You're safer in New Bedford.


God I can't believe I actually just said that.

[East Coast Hustle]

This is what happens when you abandon Eris' Holy City, Suu.

Eris's Holy City is Providence. That IS why we're getting the fucking storm.
