Hurricane Irene..

I should of went surfing

[bleys]

I'm all for taking things like this seriously but this one looked pretty weak all along. Unless you lived right on the beach or in a very low area there wasn't too much to worry about. I said I would post some pics but nobody wants to see leaves strewn about my yard... cause that's the extent of it.

The other thing that kills me is the media coverage... they're straining to find any little thing to report. Downed trees, people in the wind tripping, you name it... it's more than silly.

I wanna see some football tonight, if they pre-empt the game with more of this silly coverage I'll be pissed.

people on the coast were going to take a hit.. no doubt about that, and I would be concerned if I lived there..

everyone else should have stayed the f**k home.. oh, and the news is complete joke.. always has been, I love how people watch that poo religiously..

It could have strengthened and turned into us, but even if it had it wouldn't have been stronger than Fran or Floyd, and we had 110+ mph gusts during both of those... and it was not a problem, so I wasn't worried about this one. If one comes at us with the capability to bring 125+ then I'll leave, but where I live it's not really a problem even though we're only 2 miles from the ocean.

My wife was dying for updates every 30 minutes last night, she was driving me nuts... the thing hardly moves in 30 minutes... we watched some of the local coverage and the weather channel... the weather channel is particularly bad about making a big deal of nothing.

Yep, when we have fires here in SoCal the coverage would make you think the entire fugging state is in flames. Makes people watch, sells commercials.

A Best Buy in NJ selling water at ridiculous prices... thought it was worth passing on. What a bunch of assholes.

I think here in Cali price gouging like that is illegal.

[Davidson Deac II]

Of course the weather channel made a big deal out of it. When you have an entire channel dedicated to nothing but weather, they are going to get as much play out of this as possible.

[Darth Biscuit]

Gouging is illegal in NC as well.

:ihih:

[The_Cannon]

40 bucks for freaking water??? Its not like Best Buy is busting at the seams with customer goodwill...now they're gouging the hell out of panicked needy people? Thats disgusting.

[Davidson Deac II]

People are crazy anyway. If you are worried about water shortage, just fill up some coolers and jugs. No need to rush to buy 16 oz bottled water.

This poo on the news is worse than when it snows, they moved the race and the pats/lions game to show the same crap on the news they have shown the past 24 hours.

[Jangler]

So, watching the game and the local CBS station needed to tell me they were the only station to report live from the coast...since I watch my local NBC station more than the others I can truthfully say that CBS lied.
