    Exclamation Hurricane traveling along the East coast of the US of A

    It's the big news right now and it's tough to grasp the seriousness of news now days because the 24 hour news cycle loves the drama that could happen . . . .

    But any way . . . . people are starting to brace for the possibilities of it hitting or swiping the island of Manhattan. - not a common scene for us New Yorkers.

    Any way . . . let's see what the news hounds have for us tomorrow - it could all fizzle
    . . . . or not.

    If I keep power I'll update you on what we get down this way Race. I've been through a number of hurricanes and a monster typhoon when in Okinawa. The bad thing is you never know for sure what to prepare for, but if you don't prepare for the worst you could be screwed.

    On that note my wife and daughter just left about an hour ago, heading northwest to visit some family mostly out of the storms path. I'll ride it out here so I can minimize any effects of damage on the house.

    But having been there, you can't run from the winds or the storm surge unless you do it early. Play it safe my friend.

    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    For the first time, they will be suspending the subway and bus system tomorrow at noon.
    Of course we will know more in the morning but the news people are having a hey day and the tech people are really enjoying making google type graphics showing how the island would look if it got flooded depending on the force of the hurricane as it arrives. For example, the hole where they are building the 9/11 memorial and the new buildings will be a lake and mostly downtown will be looking like Venice.
