So it looks like we are going to get paid a visit by Hanna this weekend.

I am really excited about this. I've never been in a hurricane or tropical storm of any kind before.

By the looks of things, when she gets here (NY) she won't have much bite left to her, except for a lot of rain but still..I'm looking forward to my first tropical storm experience

I'm beating I am the only one.

Don't get too excited, it won't be much different than when a series of thunderstorms moves through the area, it'll just last a little longer and the wind will come out of one direction.

 

[SORTIE]

it's looking more & more like the projections of Hanna's intensity is media hype

 

[Tizod]

Crap!

I was worried that it was going to putter out before it got here.

Did anyone see the Weather Channel's program "It Could Happen Tomorrow" where they showed a hurricane hitting NYC?

I would love to see that minus all the death and mayhem

Tizod,
Where did you live that you've never seen a TP or hurricane?

 

[MACKS]

The thing that bothers me the most after a hurricane is the COLD showers,it's just something that I can't get used to

They must be saving the name Hurricane Hank for a better storm.

Anybody remember the game I'm referring to?

Permanent residence in -
Chicago
San Francisco
Los Angeles
NYC

I've also had extended stays (work projects) in hurricane prone areas like Miami and Houston but was never there during a storm.

I was in Boston in a few years back on a 5 month assignment where I experienced my first Noreaster. It was cool but paled in comparison to some of the midwest blizzards I've seen.

The sun just came out here.

There Will be several hours of break right now.

Main storm is later on this evening.

Hanna is inland right now by DC and shes starting to turn NE towards water right now.

Lets see.
