    OK, we'll let you off this time .......... benefit of doubt, bi-location etc. But OP if you are right then the world has starting rotating the other way and think of the implications there ...... changing currents, prevailing winds etc. So I just hope that you're a tad confused/brahms& liszt. Cheers!

    it could be similar to the tsunami that never was in hawaii over the weekend. everyone evacuated - emergency warnings and it ended up being a little more than a puddle.

    Hysterical reactions again - half of them stocking up on frozen pizza they can't cook if the power goes out - the rest of them will be saying its an illuminati death weapon to sacrifice the population of the east coast to the full moon lizzard goddess.

    True enough, when i lived in nyc there was a similar over reaction to a supposed hurricane and it turned out to be nothing more than a normal day in Donegal like storm.

    Local economy did very well though.

    "Hurricane Sandy"?! What a fooking bent name

    "Oooh, it's a bit windy and sandy out. Oohh, best stay home."

    Might as well have called it "Hurricane Breezy" or "Hurricane Chilly".

    Where are all the "Hurricane Motherfooker"s?

    Well to be fair, the hurricane did kill a load of people in the Carribean so they had every right to be a bit wary. Plus I'd say a lot of Americans don't want to take any chances since Katrina. Better safe than sorry.

    Most people have gas barbecues (with tops) so cooking a pizza will take less time than firing up an electric oven etc. But most Americans like the buzz of the queues. We should be quite safe up here but will get 12" to 15" of rain so flooding will be the problem. It is wet now but not overtly so. In case of a long outtage I've stacked wood that will keep the stove going for 3 days @24 hrs.

    Too strong a word, they were warning of closures for three days already.

    One typically get stranded by unexpected events or underestimated events, Sandy is neither. ;)
