Yeah, she said it was pretty fucked alright. Thankfully they got away with it as much as was possible, really. Not half as much damage as some other places around there got hit with... She got power back pretty quickly as well after it had passed.

Proof that Category 1 Hurricanes are general worse than 5's.

it's not just Star Wars. There might also be an actual good new Indiana Jones movie that may make us forget the atrocity that is Indy 4. Although it's really hard to forget that one.

Staten Island got it the worst around here...

Everyone keeps asking me if I have any friends or relatives on the east coast. The answer is no, but every time I get asked, I feel a degree more worse for those affected.

One hopes they have a serious look at the safety of the equipment of this and other dangerous level crossings, instead of wasting their time meeting the demands of barely inconvenienced rich suburbs.

One of my two best friends left for Australia yesterday. We were all joking and stuff about him leaving for ages but once he was gone I realised I'm actually gonna seriously miss the defecting bollocks...

My cousins were like that with me when I visited.
Here I am after nearly 13 years, only for 2 weeks; pretty much you blink, you miss it.
