Well, I guess I can sleep peacefully now.

Good grief, I was just listening to the weather dude saying some knarly things about the combo action as this storm moves up the East coast as the moon goes full creating high tides as it pushes against cold air and slams into NY/NJ flooding the airports and subways and then dumping 2 feet of snow inland.


Batten down the hatches my friends... batten down the hatches indeed.

Stay safe out there.

Reminds me of:

Surf should be good! I just love a good storm.

Besides, nothing like sitting in the hot tub on the cliff above the beach , rain blowing horizontally, waves crashing on three sides and soaking in the 103 deg F water while the jets do their work on your back. peace

Yeah, me too. I'll be enjoying the view from my roof as I clean out the gutters, and then sit back and enjoy the high winds and pounding rain as it leaks through my questionable roof, knocks down my trees, and cuts out the electricity for the next three days. Looking forward to all the fun.

Sounds like worthy exercise to me. Nothing like breathing chainsaw exhaust to get the heart pounding and the blood flowing. Careful on that slippery roof girl! Maybe a good time to invest in a wind powered generator so you can at least fire up the stereo and put on Let it Bleed or Abbey Road. btw: Loved those boots you and your lady friend were wearing in the photo you posted on another thread. Better keep 'em near the door just in case. peace

This may be unprecedented. Mayor orders mandatory evacuation of many
neighborhoods in NYC. Up to a 15 foot storm surge is being forecast.

Affected areas shown in red on linked map.

Damn....... be safe NY/NJ

My office in NYC is in the red zone so we are evacuating and going into disaster recovery mode. I'm staying home with my generator and gallons of gas so I can support from home.

Stay safe locals.

Naturalust, you are certainly an interesting character, that statement really made me laugh. You like my boots, huh? Of all the things to compliment a woman on...you better learn to do better than that if you want any company in that hot tub of yours. And don't even think about a re-do, it's too late for that.

Back to the storm, they just canceled schools here for the next two days, I guess we really are bracing for the big one. Don't forget to fill your cars up with gas, the last storm here brought long lines at the gas stations and many of them ran out of gas.

C'mon now bloomer the boots were indeed awesome.....Anyway, I'm putting a psychic protective shield over you and yours during the storm still, no worries. peace

I was really hoping for a 40 foot storm surge to hit D.C. but it's not to be.

Ha Ha! Amazing how we are on the same page here. I was thinking just the same thing! Only, not exactly the 40-foot surge, I was just hoping the storm would concentrate itself on D.C. and nowhere else--and on a weekday, of course.... I also thought of The Blob and Storm Kong but didn't post those, so I'm glad you did!

There are probably a lot of people that feel in the same boat as I do about D.C.! I just want a Katrina storm surge to hit D.C.! Just so they'll understand.

The politicians, of course...

I hope people take the evacuation seriously. Storm surge is not to be mistaken for possibly not happening or not being soemthing to worry about. It will and it is. It's nasty and incredibly destructive - any waves on top of a 10-15 foot storm surge makes it seem higher because it is! And all that salt water is going to cause huge and long term problems.

And if you're (or someone you know) using E-gas (gas with Ethanol in it) don't let it sit in your generators after you stop using them - let it burn out. E-gas will destroy any motor. Ethanol is a horrible thing for gasoline and it boggles my mind why it's even put in gasoline.

Big Bummer here in the NE 'cuz it's the second straight year of a compromised Halloween. Kids are getting ROOKED.

But yeah, we're gettin' some STONES this year.

ool, I am not sure about the Newark shows, hoping the tickets on the secondary market come WAY down, there is no way I am paying $400+ to be behind the band or in the nosebleed seats.
If they come to Boston and you come across an extra ticket, I will probably be going myself, as all my friends have been priced out of this tour, at least if the trend of high ticket prices continues. Last time I paid $400+ but I was in the 5th row at the Garden, and ended up sitting (well, standing) next to Peter Wolf, so it was pretty cool, and I managed to convert a friend into being a Stones fan. Saw all the shows on the last tour, both Fenway shows, Fleet Center and Gillett. I doubt that is gonna happen this time, one show will be my limit if the prices are as high as I think they are gonna be.
Anyway, just curious, it is always good to hear from Stones fans that are nearby. My first Stones show was in 1975 at the Boston Garden, and I am hoping that my last one will also be there.(well, at the Banknorth Garden). Even though I am MAJOR LEAGUE bummed out about the high ticket prices, there is always PPV, and regardless, the Stones rule!!!

There will never be a last show. You're next one will be there, and the next one after that....

Yeah I'm right outside of Philly. Looks like a "Crossfire Hurricane" is on path for a direct hit! Just heard it's the 2nd LARGEST HURRICANE EVER!!! Stay safe for the people in Sandy's path

On a side note, can't wait for the Newark shows!!

I'm in Manhattan and the streets are eerily quiet right now. The supermarket looked like the "Fall of Saigon" today.

I am pouring myself a glass of of organic sulfite free syrah and watching the second season of AMC's The Killing which is a 'knock-off' of a Danish TV Show. It is appropriately gloomy and noir-ish. Good Storm viewing fare.

I mean, the conventional list of goofy innocuous names--Arlene, Bret, Cindy, Don--come on, it sounds like a backyard family barbecue.

On behalf of Arlene, Bret, and Don, let me say that we are all extremely insulted.

Hope you all doing well the coming days....God bless you
