You north eastern seaboard Yanks need to settle the fok down. I've gone through these types of storms on many occasions and I'm right dead smack on the Atlantic ocean. Just ride the thing out and all will be back to normal in a couple days time. The U.S. media is making too big a deal out of this. Yeah some trees will be uprooted and there will be flooding, but that shit happens from time to time. If the storm picks up steam and gets stronger as it hits landfall then it could get messy, but relax Frankenstorm neighbours.
 
Up on the 33rd floor of a 50 story building is like being on a boat on calm seas. Building is making sounds i've never heard a building make.

I'm sure its gonna be a push over but it's a fun experience that might only happen to us NYC people once or twice in our lives.

This is a valid and true point, but I think Pucky's point, in that we cannot prevent it, so why not embrace it.

Exactly!!!

Embrace Mother Nature as you may not have another chance to witness her fury first hand and up close again for a while at that. I went through a few of these storms. The best one was Hurricane Juan which was supposed to hit us as a tropical storm. We get trops several times a year. When Juan made it's way here it started to pick up steam and then it hit us dead smack as a cat 1-2 hurricane. I lost my power for 5 days and had to climb 9 flights of stairs several times a day. It wasn't fun, but being outside for that one was to be honest with you kind of special. Trees were coming down like crazy. It was fokkin awesome. About 4-5 months later we got hit with what they term White Juan which brought close to 100 cm of snow. If NS were a bunch of pussies we would have done what Ontario did in '99 and call in the army.

Enjoy the storm my somewhat neighbourly Yanks. :)

Try to go outside and enjoy it Boner. I was outside for Juan (protected by a huge brick canopy) and for Earl. It was a great experience.

Just got back an hour ago. Walked to my sisters and back about a mile away. Took some video.

It was fun, almost got blown over a couple times. Will maybe go out again later but building management are claiming they will shut down elevators at some point and I sure as shit don't want to huff it up 33 flights of stairs.
 
So Cami says to me on Googletalk: "They should have a midget do the reporting on the shore so we could watch him fly off, they should dress him up in bright colors so we could watch him fly away

I'm not midget but that is pretty twisted Cami.
