Original Alear Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) My parents in NJ have no power because I guess like a million trees went down or something. They've been told not to expect it to come back on until September 4th. Yay New Jersey. Bwahahahaha Sorry I know I shouldn't gloat, but whenever my state is bashed I feel a little bit bigger on the inside.

Esaka Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well, that wasn't so bad. I still have electricity and such. People blew it all out of proportion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 A guy I used to know, I'd like to say friend, is currently stuck somewhere where the water level is rising, and I have no idea what the fuck to do about it. Looked for jetskis online and they are out of price range. I guess he's OK since he still has power but this is shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deliriyum Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well, that wasn't so bad. I still have electricity and such. People blew it all out of proportion. 5-8 foot flooding=not blown out of proportion. Don't only think of yourself, because there were people who live in less fortunate places.

Esaka Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Oh, right, right, I was only thinking local. God that was stupid, we were just lucky... 0-o... 5-8 feet flooding... damn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inactive Account Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Power's back on at home. Apparently the power company are ridiculous pessimists, though we don't know if it's going out again or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 You can't have hurricanes in sweden as hurricanes, by definition, form over the mid atlantic ocean near the equator.Hmm, I guess I was thinking about tornadoes then, sorry, I'm not a specialist in that area ^^' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Does anyone know why hurricanes are given names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Makes it easier to keep track when there are multiple hurricanes forming at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Let's hear what Representative Michele Bachmann has to say on the matter! "I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending." That's either really fucking stupid or really inappropriate given the circumstances (since it was a joke apparently). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M. Gei Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Only one appropriate response to Bachmann... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenester Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Disregard my last post on page 2 of this topic. I got nothing which I'm glad for. Really unfortunate to see the victims suffer from it though :(. I know some people who live in the US, get their basement flooded, their water system knocked out and their electricity dead too which must really suck for them.

shroudening Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 We really didn't get too much. Kind of disappointed actually. Not really though, since that would have meant a longer power outage. Did you guys miss me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Does anyone know why hurricanes are given names? For the same reason we give humans names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazuki Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Actually, I just realized that this was the wrong place to post this, so I'll go with something else. As much as how much damage Hurricane Irene did, I do feel that it was blown out of proportion prior.

Freohr Datia Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Lol if I were being localized about these things..... When Ike came almost nothing happened. I was perfectly able to stand outside and unharmed. I looked up at the sky and waved saying "Hi Ike!" I could say, this storm isn't so bad!! Not at all! Buuuuuuuuuuut that's because Ike got weak by the time it/he reached Indiana. Knife did you read about the other people who actually some pretty bad damage in this topic at all? xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Knife did you read about the other people who actually some pretty bad damage in this topic at all? xD Agnaktor you are forgetting english as far as I know it. "the other people who actually some pretty bad damage". That being said, I don't have the attention span/language to explain why it's wrong because I'm not the grammar police. But that is ok. Anyway, consider that they perhaps received no damage and that it was their wealth, their material externalities, that received damage. (I read the topic but I didn't notice whether anyone actually received physical harm...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
