Turn on CNN. Ali Velshi is about to get blown down the street. He's reporting from Atlantic City.
EDIT: Dammit my power went out and I live all the way in Cleveland, OH where we're just getting the outter bands of wind and rain from Sandy. I guess that's what I get for saying that the storm was being blown out of proportion. :)

NY and NJ are going to get fucked apparently but here in MA things will probly be fine at least for those of us inland. Andrex might have a fun few days ahead of him.
Seems like it's all over here.
Maybe next year, mother nature.
Maybe start building concrete houses and improve the storm drains in areas affected by the hurricane season?
Go loot something, Eric.
Stay indoors and play vidjas all day.
Brooklyn: Multiple NYPD Officers enroute to the 60 Precinct to help out with Mobs who are looting storefronts in several neighborhoods.
I'm not expert, but it's possible overhauling the some of the oldest infrastructure in some of the most densely developed and populated areas wouldn't be simple or cheap, and a hard sell when you're talking about places that get seriously hit by tropical storms once every few decades.This storm was actually a statiscal anomaly. FEMA has 1, 5, 10, 30 and 100 year storms that engineers use to figure this stuff (30 and 100 calculations are just used to mitigate disasters, not really prevent them). This storm fell outside of this. So anyone (Diunx) saying that anything could be done is stupid.
Pretty much all of Long Island is without power. There is widespread flooding on the South Shore.
Hoboken is half underwater and without power, but I just got out. Weee.
How bad did Long Island get hit? My wife's cousin lives there with her husband, and she's 8 or 9 months pregnant.

If Obama wins the election, how long will the Republicans spend blaming Sandy for suppressing voter turnout and thus illegitimizing his victory?spoiler (click to show/hide)The correct answer is "forever."[close]
