Hurricane Sandy Incoming!

[Charlotte Ryberg]

According to BBC News, Huffington Post US Edition and Buzzfeed are down because the NY servers have been hit by power failures as a result of Sandy.

Power company shut down lower Manhattan. If their servers are there, that would explain it.

Yes, servers in other parts of the country are expecting to stand in. And this is why a disaster plan is critically important.

I’m smack-dab in the middle of New York State. All I’m seeing so far us rain.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Twitter now full of reports that the New York Subway is struggling to cope with the flood waters. I cannot personally confirm it yet but if it is true then this would be the first major flood incident since 2007, when rainfall halted the morning rush hour.

Just in time for the elections.

[CookieRaider]

Maybe they should rename it Hurricane A-Rod so it won't hit anything.

[Tekania]

Category LOL.

Wait, if it's a category 1 hurricane, shouldn't it not be as bad? Or is there something else to it? Or am I just being stupid?

It's only a category 1...... But it's also huge, and there is in addition nor-easter storm system adding to it's effect, and larger than normal storm surge due to the full moon.

Weak storm 0/10 didn't even shut off my power.

Makes you wonder how this will affect those elections in the USA.

Does it? The election is a week from tomorrow. It'll be okay. Now, if this were a blizzard then yes, it might have a serious effect.

Five, according to CNN.

Western Vermont and Northeast Upstate New York anticipate heavy winds, which are already in effect to some extent. The primary caution is, subsequently, trees and powerlines falling.

Yeah, the full moon. There is nothing worse than the stink of a wet werewolf.

You ever ride out a storm in one of them underwater boats?

In this situation, cant really sympathise with them.
They were told to get the fuck out days before storm, they chose to stay there. They got what they deserved.

I just saw footage of Battery Park -completely- submerged, and reports of "cars floating down Wall Street."

A tree fell on a house and killed a man and not, I believe in an evacuated area.. Try thinking before you post.

Man, I am so fucking bored. This storm is lame as hell...

Can't immeditately write it off, as they could of gotten stuck there for some reason.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy#Impact = 70 confirmed deaths overall.

The whole place isn't a pool yet?

That's what happens when you build metropolises below sea level.

That seems very symbolic of something.

Instead of sitting there and complaining, you'd be better off going out and making it fun like these guys.

In nations like Haiti, its understandable since there aren't many warning systems and where will they go anyway but in US: where people were told to get out days before hurricane got anywhere near US coasts and it was all over the news: cant see how you can just get trapped.

I know what you mean. Some guys in my dorm decided to binge drink, but that’s all that’s really happening...

Also, I can’t access facebook for some reason.

EDIT: Or wikipedia

Yahh, but it's really something you only expect to hear from New Orleans.
