Hurricane Irene

[mmitchev]

Currently cubing by candlelight, power was knocked out by the storm, writing this from my phone, how is everyone else faring?

 

[cuberkid10]

Hasn't effected me, maybe a little rain. Hope everyone up on the east coast are safe!

 

[JyH]

Nothing yet. Pretty much just rain.

 

[Daniel Wu]

You're downstate obviously. Hopefully you guys get your power back soon. I was down there last week. Upstate just got a little rain and wind.

 

[mmitchev]

Yea I live down state, about an hour from New York City, apparently we won't get power back until Thursday. Good thing I printed alg sheets before the power was knocked out

 

[Kian]

We never lost power, but many, many around us have. There is so much flooding that it's nearly impossible to get anywhere, but my home is fine.

The worst for us (South East PA) was just 25mph wind and hard rain, which all happened when we were sleeping. Not as bad as we thought!

My dad lives in an apartment *right* by the water and basically slept in the closet for protection. He said he went for a walk this afternoon and that nobody was out and that it was kind of like in The Stand

lol.
NJ, yes?

I am perfectly fine.

Yeah, he lives in Jersey City and commutes into New York. I think his reaction to others is kind of like the earthquake situation; "Why is everybody freaking out? That's a shove on the playground for the West Coast."

No electricity for 3 hours in the morning. Nothing really, and some strong winds and heavy rain.

 

[Tall5001]

I am perfectly fine.

Me too its a bit hot here still!

 

[Hershey]

I am ok here. It rained a lot, and the pond in the backyard of our condominium development was flooded, but it didn't reach my condo.

 

[Ernie Pulchny]

All I had was strong winds and heavy rain.

 

[mmitchev]

Wow I'm surprised how lucky you all are, a stream in my backyard flooded and is lapping up against the house. Power is gone everywhere in our area, the local Carvel was giving away ice cream because their freezer lost too much cold air. Many streets and highways are flooded and almost impassible.

 

[AustinReed]

I am perfectly fine.

Lucky you! In Mesa we were pounded with ~.01 inches of rain!! Hopefully the power doesn't go out!

One good thing about the Midwest, no hurricanes.

Tornados.

Tornados.

That would be one of many bad things. A tornado has never affected me though (yet, and I hope never).
