Hurricane Irene Banter Thread


Recommended Posts

Heh, you and I talked about this before... the fascination with having high end hurricanes pass over one's house would wear off quickly once power was lost for weeks, windows were blown in and basements were flooded.

Exactly. Let's say Irene tells the models to piss off and hits S. Florida as a Cat 4.

I lose power for 2 weeks. I have to deal w/ 95 degree temps in the day and 85 at night w/ high humidity. No thanks. And that's if my apartment building isn't destroyed. LOL. If it is, it's even worse.

Florida is a horrible place to live, isn't it? :P

Trust me, after experiencing that earthquake today, I'd rather have more of those (provided they aren't of the destructive variety.)

Is anyone afraid skyscrapers might blow over in NYC if the hurricane hits there?

CitiGroup tower was actually at risk once upon a time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citigroup_Center

For the next three months, a construction crew welded two-inch-thick steel plates over each of the skyscraper's 200 bolted joints during the night, after each work day, almost unknown to the general public. Six weeks into the work, a major storm (Hurricane Ella) was off Cape Hatteras and heading for New York. With New York City hours away from emergency evacuation, the reinforcement was only half-finished. Ella eventually turned eastward and veered out to sea, buying enough time for workers to permanently correct the problem.

I'm not moving you b**ch, I'm only staying down there for a month or so. I'm keeping this house for the winter. I wouldn't leave snow for anything :P

LOL, yea we'll see. You'll go to the beach or fishing when it's 30 degrees up north and realize snow is overrated unless you are in the mountains or near the Great Lakes.

There's nothing like hearing "Sooo-heee" in the morning and not sure at first if it's your girlfriend or pig out in the yard.

Or maybe both are the same thing? :P Besides, I thought that was Arkansas, the state that gave us Burnett (gee, thanks for that!)

I'd like to move to Kansas so I can go storm chasing more than once every two years...

Yeah the weather is pretty exciting and extreme there. I like extreme heat in the summer after a stormy spring. That rarely happens here-- last two summers have been the exception.

I think it's the "I nabbed this pic from a cheap porn site" look

You do the duck face in your photo. It's a genre of shot where people think contorting their face makes them prettier. Usually because they have a complex.
