That refers to items that you would need to sustain you for 5 days. Water, food, generator fuel, batteries.......

Well, if that covers Ibby, you forgot to mention cheese and weed.

I wonder how much it would fuck up my life if this thing hurt my house in any way right now. Or the new house, that would not really work for me either. Two days before I make the big payment and take the keys, that would really fuck things up.
The path is right over us now @ 40-75MPH (120 kph) winds. I don't think I've ever experienced above 50. Right now, 22% chance it comes in as a hurricane, above 75 MPH. 3% chance above 95 MPH. |

I was checking the track of this storm, especially the wind speed chart. And it's just ridiculous. It's chugging along, causing no problems, and then it makes a sharp turn right into the Philly area, directly over your hood.
But it's so huge. I read a thing somewhere that hurricane force winds are being measured 400 miles from the center. If it's symetrical, that means this storm is 800 miles wide. No matter where it hits, it's gonna get the entire East coast. I'm about to head outside to take down all the halloween decorations and my garden stuff, bring in the lawn chairs, and tie the garbage cans to the fence. Then we're going camping. Coming home just in time to ride out the storm. Gotta remember to move the cars away from the trees. I hope you fare well, UT. |

Yes, everybody in Philly and over by the coast - stock up, stay safe. Further inland we may get tons of rain or snow but not the brunt of winds and flooding.
Sending good wishes to everyone on the coast to hang onto your hats and ride this thing out ...

Yeah, we're supposed to get slammed between snow and hurricane remnants= NOTHING like New jersey, PA, MD, etc. are supposed to get but I SWEAR TO THOR (not monster's son, the OTHER Thor- Jimhelm) that if my power goes out ONE MORE FUCKING TIME I AM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND. for the past two years my power has gone out - MY STREET ONLY - every six months and it's taken WEEKS for those Mexicans they hire to fix it.
I am SICK OF IT! Well, at least it isn't 100 degrees. I can deal with the cold. It's the no hot food, a fridge full of spoiled food, no coffee, NO TV DAMMIT and I NEED to watch DEXTER! Ok. I'll settle down. Good luck out there. And don't nobody go out in no fishing boat. Even if it IS George Clooney who asks you.

No Dexter????? Well if you lose power, you can always act out scenes from Dexter.
