Hurricane Sandy

[tzor]

How's that Internet treating you?

I have Optimum Online ... it sucks. It always sucks.

Sometimes it takes me 7 tries just to log on to CC!

[BigBallinStalin]

You should upgrade to Optimum Prime.

Folks in clans should ensure their passwords posted in the clan fora are up to date before they lose power.

This is what I get for insulting the hurricane. No power for 3+ days (still out, on campus now), no internet on campus last two days, no cell service whatsoever. ITS LIKE A GOD DAMN AMISH TOWN

I found a picture of AoG waiting for internet and power to be restored:

I legitimately had a few dreams last night that I would wake up and the power would be on. It's sad to realize how much I depend on electricity and internet.

You'll be even sadder relying on batteries and candlelight.

A deer farmer running for the West Virginia House of Delegates has announced he will continue forward in the election, despite having died in Hurricane Sandy. Dead Republican John Rose will continue to to mount a vigorous campaign against live Democrat Mary Poling for the House of Delegates' District 47 seat, Rose's campaign announced, on behalf of Rose.

I had power in my apartment until Wednesday morning (?) and then when it shut off, I started coming to campus for internet.

They may be reconsidering. There's probably a sense of relief over and Mary's head quarters.

OH GOD ITS METSFANMAX

also I am now 5 days without power. Apparently Cuomo is threatening the company execs for not being prepared.

I think it's pretty fucking ridiculous. f*ck LIPA and f*ck Hurricane Sandy.

I just heard (through my wife) that the New York Marathon is going on as planned, and that they are bringing in generators to the marathon to make sure it has all the power it needs. But not so much everyone else.

Is this fact, or fiction?

Fact. It's sort of annoying especially when a lot of people (like 600k) still don't have power.

What's the logic behind it? Does the marathon bring that much money into the city?

I saw an interview with Guiliani and he said that Bloomberg is trying to take people's minds off of the Hurricane? Sort of like what he tried to do post-9/11?

I don't know. f*ck it.

We get hit by stronger storms every year.

This year alone we were close to being hit by a Cat 2 Hurricane.

I guess the problem was that you guys are not used to it and were not prepared?

Simplistic I know, also in the place where the storms hits there are no wooden houses and not so much infrastructure lost. Over the years we've lot power after these storms, the worse that I remember was a week. Once we lost everything in a business that was in front of the beach (bay beach), only my father stayed in town and according to my mother the lazy asshole didn't get anything out of the place. Another time we were hit as hard but that time we were all night getting stuff out of the business, we lost less. SO eventually we closed that business and focused in another that it's on a high point lol.

I remember one with as many deaths or more I think, but that hit like 300 kms to the north of here.

Usually hurricanes don't have the ability to build up as they cross through the southern US instead of staying over the Atlantic Ocean like Sandy did, so it's like the most powerful Hurricane the northeast has seen probably in a long time.

Terrible planning though. They should've been ready.

Why does a marathon require generators? I have heard that generators are being brought in for gas stations (and other basic services) to be able to pump fuels again.

This storm was only a Cat.1 hurricane, but it was 1000 miles wide and the biggest tropical depression of record. It's going to take some time to clean up this mess and get life in the Northeast anywhere close to normal.

Just saw on PTI that the marathon was canceled.

I honestly don't know how I feel about the whole thing. On the one hand, the marathon brings in money to the city which it will need. On the other hand, the marathon goes through Staten Island which is a disaster.

I feel similarly.

If private companies want to use money on power generators so be it, but I'd rather not hear about the government spend money on generators for a marathon while I still don't have power.

I just want to watch the Bronco game (which will be on national tv again...seriously, never before have this many Bronco games been on national tv. I love Peyton) on Sunday.

Well, you can keep trying Aog, eventually one of those pushes of the button will bring back happy time. It may not be today or tomorrow but its coming, don't you worry.
