Hurricane Irene

[retrosportsgamer]

Just got power back on here - was out for about 16 hours. Had the PSP and GBA charged in advance

Never lost power and no damage! However, i saw a ton of stuff destroyed driving back from work.

I hope everyone is ok that lives on the coast, but i must say i saw a video just a min ago of Time Square and it was amazing to see only a couple of cars and a few people.

I'm out a storm door and a few sections of my wooden privacy fence. The door, I'm not too worried about as that should be covered by homeowner insurance.

Are you sure about that? I mean, you probably have a $500 deductible on your HO insurance.

Damn. I hate to shoot the messenger, but a "blickty mother fucking blam blam" towards biker.

Turns out my door was well worth over my deductible. I was hoping to file it under miscellaneous items, but that seems to be folly at this point. Had I known I owned a door that was worth near a thousand dollars, I would have sold that shit; especially since it didn't do its job during a storm. My regular doors did fine, but my storm door breaks during a storm? That's some ironic stuff.

I think it's safe to say I'll be out at least $1000 when it's all said and done, but if so I'll have one kick ass storm door.

Anyone else just see the streaker on the weather channel? Totally wasn't expecting to see schlong mere seconds after I turned on the hurricane coverage.

How are we supposed to gawk at this spectacle without pictures?

Glad people see to have relatively minor damage so far though.

I was planning on taking some pics, but nothing really worthwhile to tell you the truth. There's a great amount of leaves and branches all over everywhere, but it's nothing special to look at. At least, not in my opinion.

Apparently Vermont's getting absolutely clobbered. Some pictures up on Weather.com. Just awful.

Yeah.. holy crap. NY had it easy. They got it worse than down south.



... which reminds me. I have a buddy in VT who lives about 500 feet from a river. It's way up in the mountains but I hope he is okay.

I'm okay here in PA, but I'm worried about my parents. They have no power. Which isn't usually worrisome, but my father requires an oxygen machine and I don't know how many tanks he has left. Knowing how the rain is, it's going to be very muggy which is murder for his lungs.

I just want him to be okay.
