Ah, well my heart goes out to them. Or would, if I had one. I doubt they want the charred stone that seems to be in it's place.Halberd said:
But not being the god of hurricanes, I can't accurately predict how it'll affect our friend, OP.
Yaaa you REALLY need to cover that shit up tight. Flooding won't matter with a room gets torn out of the building. I live in Florida thats how mother fucking hurricanes work.Souplex said:
Its a cat 2, geez grow a pair.
seriously though, I hve no idea where thats at, but i would say you'll probably see water. I dont know. i live in western PA, and we dont even need a hurricane to get floods, and we still deal. A cat 2 would be like,, nothing really. Just board your windows and have plenty of fresh water and if you can spring it a generator.
and relax, its not going to be that bad.

Chi-Town? That makes it sound oriental in nature. I prefer Cha-Town, makes it seem kind of a happy place. You know like "Cha Cha Chicago!" sounds cooler than "Chi Chi Chicago!?@"TheGoldenMan said:
On-Topic: One of my friends lived through Katrina. Since they did have a warning of it, his family prepared. They put barbed wire along the building's fence, and they had guys posted with guns around it. They also boarded up all the windows of the rooms people were actually staying in or mattered, and they got a BUNCH of food.
So basically I would prepare for a zombie apocalypse. That's probably the safest bet, and hey if nothing comes of it at least you won't get burgled anytime soon.
None of that matters if windows breaks. It'll gut the room. Also architecture differences of Florida and New York is vastly more complex then "my building is hard".Souplex said:
Looks like you're outside the mandatory evacuation zone, but you should probably double check for yourself, either on this official pdf map or on this handy Google Maps version.laughinggod said:
Zone A (orange on both maps) is the mandatory evacuation area for now, but if you're in one of the other zones, you should take note of that and be prepared to leave if things change (i.e. the storm surge turns out to be super high for some reason).
For other information, NYC.gov is probably a good place to start. Make sure you've got enough food and drinking water to last a couple days to a week, just in case.
Okay guys, I have some experience in this department. I grew up in Louisiana, and I was there for all the recent major storms (Lily, Katrina, Rita, Gustav, etc.). All of those were stronger than Irene is now, and it will be a Cat 1 by the time it reaches us. It's basically going to be a really, really bad thunderstorm.
Also, it appears to be turning pretty heavily east. Yesterday the projected path had the eye basically passing over my house (I live in Jersey City for reference, just past the Newport Mall, roughly a mile off of the river), today the eye is projected east of Nassau.
Don't worry friends. There will be damage, there will be power outages, but this is hardly the storm of the century.

You north-easters really get worked up over a hurricane don't you? You'll be fine, enjoy your unexpected days off and curl up with a good book till it stops raining. It's really quite a relaxing experience despite the hype. Yeah stuff gets damaged inevitably, but considering you live in Brooklyn, I think you'll be okay. You'll be luck if it's barely a cat 1 by the time it gets to you, and even then you'll probably only get tropical storm conditions at worst.(which is frankly no worse than a strong thunderstorm)
So be chill and enjoy your excuse to not do a god-damned productive thing for twelve or so hours.
