So, Hurricane Irene... Have you heard of it?
I am stuck on Nantucket hoping to get the Family Truckster off via stand-by (not gonna happen). The Wife of Wives and Thing One and Thing Two are currently headed to the Cape and home. Ironically, they are likely to get more storm effects in central Connecticut than I am out here on a low lying island.
It looks like the real problem with Irene is going to be flooding. The winds are already crapping out some, but the rains and storm surge are going to be a real problem. It was the storm surge that drowned New Orleans, but the one thing most people can feel good about is that they don't live in a bowl-shaped city that lies below sea level.
Having said that, if you're planning on using the NYC subways anytime soon, I would think about taking the bus.
There is going to be some bad ass coastal flooding.
On the plus side, all that newly vacant beachfront will need to be rebuilt.
Stimulus!
But it won't be any fun if people are dead, so I hope everyone is smart and goes inland.
