My office will be open tomorrow, and I will be one of the only people there, because I live 5 blocks away.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Stay safe, Tom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
During Isaac I would not have walked five blocks anywhere. Stay safe.

Be careful, Tom!
Yeah, don't get swept down a storm drain. IT lives down there.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
HEY DOCTORS GIVE ITA HER DRUGS!
Yes, this!
A friend in Trenton just posted this:
According to the weather channel, Sandy is expected to make landfall... on my house.
I'm still loving the wind map. [link]

According to my uncle, over 300K people are under mandatory evacuation in NYC. My aunt and uncle are already up in the Catskills, which is good because today NJ declared all the glorified sandbars that make up a lot of the Shore mandatory evacuation zones, too. So they'd be caught in a massive traffic jam if they hadn't left already!
(And at least they have a place of their own to go to.)
Last year, both of my cop brothers were on extended duty after Irene because of the extensive flooding which lasted up to a week afterwards, not to mention all the trees that went down.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I hope conversely that warnings about Sandy are kind of warranted and that no one gets seriously hurt. Because an overhyped weather (or traffic!) warning is no one's friend. Also the possibility of being weathered in with DVDs and hot chocolate sounds fun. Best of luck on threading that needle!
