You know I have thought that way tooWe lived in Charleston for more than 30 years. Even though the hurricanes were not why we moved to the foothills in the upstate I was so freakin glad not to have to be stressed during hurricane season anymore
blahh tornados...I refuse to move down by my sis n nieces because of tornados.. yea there is bad weather/mother natures fury anywhere..I really can't complain come hurricane season here,but sooner or later there will be the killer storm and it will wipe out NYC/Long Island....
Yes, TT.. while I do not envy those folks for the hurricane winds, I sure wish they could share the rain.....
Stay safe everyone and keep your batts charged !

I grew up in east Islip. .Don't ask me how I ended up in Coram lolYou are probably right about that. And it will come when least expected.

Islip is under voluntary evacuation.,,, =/
my bags are packed.. gf is packing... had my me to kitteh talk telling them we might have to leave.. got strange looks all around... got joose n batts n chargers ready.. hell suffolk county has laws against vaping in no smoking areas, but I am willing to risk it
Central Virginia here worring about the storm coming our way. With evacs everwhere....
Are you in a surdy building with no trees or things that could become flying missiles close by? Are you in a flood prone area? If they ask you to evacuate, please do!
As a Katrina survivor stay safe and leave. The storm probably will not be the worst part. For us here about 50 miles inland from MS coast it was the days after. No lights, no water, no phones, upper 90's. I leaned you can survive without all the modern stuff BUT IT AIN"T FUN.
Seriously I doubt this storm will be that bad at all but it may cause power outage and flooding in many parts. I just hope that after all of the hype in the media and having people so worried that the next time a major storm heads their way they will evacuate. The media is just sickening will all of the hype already
OH! And what the heck is up with NYC? Evacuating 300,000 people and having shelters to handle 70,000? Really? For all of NYC? And they don't even have enough beds at those shelters for all 70,000!
My wife and 2 daughters are at outdoor events today and we were hoping the rain would hold off a little. Nope. The rain has started. Wife is in downtown DC for a conference that is mainly indoors but there will be some outdoor walking involved. She will probably get wet. She is so sweet, she may melt a little when wet!
My daughters are at an outdoor festival near Annapolis and there is not much indoors there. They will get wet too! They're not as sweet! They will be fine
So far, so good with Marivella, my baby grand daughter. She is napping and I am watching the idiots on The Weather Channel. I actually saw one of them in hurricane winds on the beach saying "it's getting dangerous out here, if you know anyone that is outdoors in this, they shouldn't be!" Well, I am watching someone on TV that is in it. Crazy.
They act surprised when they see other people out and about! Do they think they are more powerful than others. Does being a weatherman give you super powers that help in a hurricane? Why aren't they being evacuated?

What a sweet thing to say Padre
And I agree! I am so waiting to see Jim Cantore swept out to sea in front of a live camera lol
Some people are just idiots IMO. I remember the mayor of Charleston rode out Hurricane Hugo in his 2 story office building downtown Charleston. It was rumored the entire next day that he was dead. He was not but if stupidity killed he
would have been
I mean what was he thinking? A captain may go down with the ship but in reality they have no choice!
