we've got a crisis on our haaaaaaaaaands

[Pumpkin]

There was a hurricane last year that didn't really hit the area I lived too badly (it still did) but I missed my first and second days of school because I was in Boston visiting my mom and I lived in Ottawa and transportation was canceled. I was supposed to take the bus back and I told my mom that I should leave a day early to avoid the storm because I knew it was all going to be canceled but she told me not to worry. Sure enough it was canceled and when I did finally leave the bus even left four hours late. I was quite upset.

First off, wanted to wish everyone in the Northeast good luck. Stay safe (and dry) today.

Being in Illinois, it was mostly storms with the rare tornado touch. It usually doesn't get that big though so it's not Twister quality. The snowfall of 2010 was the most notable weather of late. Thankfully I was just living in an apartment at the time, but now that I bought my first place I'm taking a more active note of the weather.

I had just started my military career for the California wild fires. They weren't far from my training area.

they cancelled tomorrow's bake sale at work due to fear of snow!

[Shorty]

what! That would have been a perfect opportunity to make some cash!

the second a snowflake hits the ground, everyone i work with calls off!

That's pretty lame of them. I've seen good events happen in horrific weather.

The best, I mean worst weather I've had was in I think '93. Huge blizzard that kept me out of school for a week. More recently, a year or two ago, there was a hurricane that knocked the electricity out and caused some bad flooding in my basement.

Also the blizzard of '93 for me. We had snow drifts taller than 7 year-old foa! I thought my cat got trapped in one, but he was in the woodshed. So I dove off the porch into the drifts.

Right now it's snowing a bitch. I've also had a tree fall on my house due to rain. Sucked.

We've had ridiculous snow storms where the snow goes halfway up the door and -40 degree weather and such here. Not that anyone cares; in Montana there's no such thing as snow days. You tough it out and go to work/school.

it rained.

the wind blew.

Power went out for maybe 5% of our city.

Living here is sweet.

Seems like the wind is going to be the biggest issue for everywhere mainlandy

Loving the hardy spirit in here. Hope everyone made it through unscathed, and glad you gave that hurricane what-for! Way to go guys


Have to admit it had me worried over here, I have a close friend who was in the middle of it in NJ with no power and the media was making it look very nasty (and he was rather worried about it himself). I was so glad when he texted me this morning to say everything's ok
Welp, I'm British. We freak out at a bit of drizzle. I should've come here for an example of a proper reaction to this thing hehe.

i was disappointed to not find my car covered in snow this morning :aimcry:

The worst of what Sandy had to offer is over by the end of day one.

NYC got smurfed though.

I don't even care what is going on here, all I know is that I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK TODAY!
