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!

What I don't understand is that Sandy is supposed to be the good girl, and Rizzo is the one to watch out for.
WTF.

The thing about warnings is you can't ever be sure. Given the possibility of Frankenstorm and the likelyhood of at least flooding and extended power outages the governors and mayors are absolutely right to take extreme precautions. And if the storm does not turn out as bad and some of the precautions were not needed - well in some houses smoke alarms never get needed, but that does not mean you should not have smoke detectors. Old Russian saying, I learned from a Robin Williams movie: "Expect the worst, hope for the best."

Punishingly Intricate
Our lights have been flickering already and it's been freaking me out! I should probably start dinner now Just In Case. We have water and charged phones and cat food & meds, flashlights, extra batteries, booze, etc. And it's not a million degrees out like with the derecho in July. Still, this modern girl loves electricity and would prefer that it stay on!
