Inevitable, unlimited, annual destruction of the Eastern Seaboard thread

[trippinprincezz13]

Surprisingly kept power yesterday since usually our complex loses power anytime the weather looks at it funny. Boss's Sunday flight back from Florida was canceled, so he got an extra day of sunny weather and I didn't have to go in. I think Irene and the ice storms the last few years knocked out most of the weaker trees and branches by our apartment so not as much damage as there probably would have been since it's all trees, everywhere. Big tree across a road on my way to work this morning, dragging power lines with it, but not close enough to kill power at my office.

All in all, three day weekend, most of this area seems to be in decent shape, considering. The images from NY last night on the news looked pretty scary though.

As someone who lives in the southwest, I can safely point and laugh at Easterners' misfortune.

It's clearly a safe bet to join an international forum and then point and laugh at the tragedies and misfortune in another region.

It makes you look like an AWESOME person.

Twid, Hoops, Nigel, ECH:

Two things to bear in mind.

1.  Ecstasy is about 16-18 years old.
2.  Ecstasy is from Fizzy Grizzly, whose older members have the moral sense of, say, Fuckedcompany.com.

That being said, if you still want to rip him a new one, have at it.

I'm going to head out for a walk in a bit.

Say...I haven't heard from Richter the whole time. I bet he's to blame.

Well, I never knew anyone to stop letting stupid shit fall out of their mouth because nobody ever called them on their stupid shit, so here I am, calling it.

Also, posting at PD is like ordering a drink at a bar in Little Santo Domingo. There's no actual age limit. If you think you're old enough to walk through those doors, you're old enough to get whatever's being served.

No. Doesnt really need any follow up on my end regardless of his age. Whether someone else has a basic concern for their fellow human being is not something i can correct. Considering his age itll probably sort itself out.

Oh, yeah, no argument.  I was just pointing out that he's fixable.  He's not Frank from CG or anything.

Cox just came and repaired the cable wires.

I don't think I've EVER seen utility companies work this fast after a storm.

For the record, Richter is fine.

I think he's out harvesting the misery of those whose connection to the internet has been indefinately interrupted.

The bitching and moaning of the people at the bus stops as I was out wandering was stunning.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Cram is also ok.

All Suu Family folks in Long Island/Brooklyn/Manhattan have established contact. Uncle in Lindenhurst tied the boats to the street light.

Because it's Cuba. Duh.

and Haiti, which has the highest death count so far. Did you read the article?

[East Coast Hustle]

Haiti is so fucked that 20 people there die every time someone farts in an elevator.

After Haitians decided they wanted to essentially go ballistic and shoot at Red Cross workers the last time we went down there for aid, I know I wouldn't be the first one to raise my hand to go back down there.
