Figured it would be worth making a thread where people can leave any messages for fellow lusternians or divine that may be living in the path of the hurricane due to make landfall in the Northeast soon, might also be worth also mentioning if you live in the path of the hurricane yourself, so that we know you are ok or have shifted if you are in its path.
In any case, if you are in one of the areas, make sure to take care and be safe!
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

No in all seriousness I wish all those in the path the best, and hope they can be through it and online again soon.

I was in Miami for Andrew - I was about five at the time, but I can still close my eyes and remember the walls collapsing inwards, the sound of the furniture on the second floor being yanked out of the building, the roof being pulled apart bit by bit. I remember going out into the living room during the eye of the storm and there being two inches of standing water, broken glass everywhere, bits of neighbros' houses lodged in the walls and kitchen, the deep end of the swimming pool was filled with sand (the deep end, not the shallow end..). We went outside, and half the neighborhood was just piles of wood and cement. We waited out the remainder of the storm in the garage. After it had passed, I remember my mother and I going for a walk around the neighborhood and just everything was gone and weird and different (I found a camera at one point and played with it until it fell apart, heh). Most the cars were ruined, shingles turned into projectiles that cut through them like butter.
Scary experience. Keep inside, stay in sturdy rooms with no windows (bathrooms and closets often work for this) if it gets scary and make sure you have plenty of water and canned food.
And beer.
And sit on the porch and watch when you can, because Mother Nature is a scary bitch when she has a show to put on.
I am in Northeast Ohio, not sure if it's coming here but we should be alright.
Yeah... I'm not looking forward to this.
Also, my understanding is that they alternate between 'male' and 'female' names with each new storm, and they are thus labeled before it is known how strong they will be. No gender conspiracies to be found!
That said; I was supposed to be driving south to Albany tomorrow for a customer demo. Luckily this has been delayed.
Instead, I get to wait for Sandy to come to me.
Looking over these names I have to think someone somewhere was very bored because some of these are... strange to say the least. I'm also slightly saddened I heard nothing of Hurricane Kirk.
Still, stay safe ya'll. And perhaps ignore Eventru's suggestion to go stare into the storm.
NARF!
Vive l'apostrophe!
Don't ever leave us again.
