Franken Storm AKA Hurricane Sandy to hit eastcoast

yubba · 10-26-12, 08:55 PM

You all better vote early on the east coast or you might not get a chance they call it a storm of a life time, I'm riding out tropical strom winds and rain here at Cocoa Beach,, I wouldn't expect much from the government they couldn't save 4 americans, what they going to do with several million in harms way,, start bottling water,,,, get the car filled up,,get a weeks worth of can goods,,flash light,,matches,,, and you guys can fill in the rest...

Looking at the track, it appears to be making landfall right about in central Jersey where I live.

I got lucky with Irene, but forcasters are calling this worse.

I do not need this stuff...

I trimmed the tree in my backyard today, so it does not splatter my back windows.

I got duct tape for the windows, alot of water, and canned foods. I am hoping for the best...

you are such a tool.

razark · 10-26-12, 09:14 PM

Uh oh. Looks like Yubba's in trouble. Those strom winds have already taken out the rules of punctuation.

This storm could be fun. I'm supposed to be traveling to a conference in Connecticut from Sunday through Thursday.

Yubba,

I have 100 truckloads of water staging in Cumberland MD. Arriving in NJ Sunday are 2 reefers of toddler kits. I'm placing shuttle trucks in Chicopee MA and transporting generators from Atlanta. FEMA is going 24/7 at 0800 today. That means no sleep for many working to get relief supplies not only staged but also replenishing what the citizens have used after the storm. The constant media bashing of FEMA and what a crap job they do grows tiresome at best. If any of them had a clue to the daunting logistical challenges, time involved and not to mention folks putting themselves in harms way to get a case of water to a family, they just might realise how sucking the mic wearing a off the rack suit is a candy ass job. Once these morons stop reporting on the storm a majority of Americans think the clean up is finished. Truth is it goes on for weeks and months. I still have trailers of supplies out for hurricane Issac.

So you fill in the rest as these folks are busting their hump to get relief to those in need. These folks that are doing it are the government.

Keep up the good work I'm a just a little miffed about this Bengaaazzzzeeee thing,,, miffed would be a understatement I"m Pi$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ED. I know there is alot of good folks that work for the government and I know it's not fair to take it out on all, but but when you have top leadership acting the fool it's hard not to put the whole system down,,.. I road out all the Hurricanes of 04 and every one went right over me, I rode charley out in the cab of a tractor trailer in a parking lot it was a flatbed trailer, with lumber, I put the tail into the wind, and the wind ripped the mirrors off,..After that I went to work for Bradco roofing supply I got to see all the damage in central florida after all those hurricanes I did't think they made that many blue tarps...

Thanks to all the troops on the ground. We appreciate it!

Yubba is most likely one of those FEMA concentration camp conspiracy guys.

I get it Yubba, the government does not care, but the workers are made up of people. People who generally believe in what they do, people who would not let a needy American go without aid after a disaster.

We in Jersey are hoping for the best, the latest stormtrack has it intensifying back into a hurricane, and making landfall in Atlantic City.

My basement was waist deep in water after Irene, and this storm fares to be worst. My neighbors house floated off its foundation, and he lost everything.

My best wishes to all in this, may we be spared.

Good job making this a political statement, but some of us are worrying about our life and property.

Good luck to all of you there.

And remember

You all keep safe over on the east side of the pond.

Jim, your navigation is a bit rusty

soopaman2 · 10-27-12, 11:33 AM

East coast USA is the east coast of the world, Jimbuna was right!

I appreciate the well wishes.

I got water, a generator for my large freezer and fridge.
Maybe this is overhyped, I hope so.

NJ is used to nor'easters, most of us are happy it is bringing rain and not snow, blizzards are way worse than hurricanes.

BTW what is with the frankenstorm thing, I hate the damn media...I know compare it to the 1991 "perfect storm" of movie fame, but this is worse. So stfu hypemonger media.

It seems Sandy is back to a hurricane as I type this. Wonderful.

Well, for those of you residing in wee little countries, especially with shorelines or coastlines no longer than a donkeys dangler

'The pond' is a term us Brits give to that small stretch of water that separates us Brits from our American cousins....those less well informed may choose to refer to it as the Atlantic Ocean

I did mix up the compass points though
