Bulljive. Wait'll it's over, for cryin' out loud!

There have been unending parades of "Crime of the Century," "Trial of the Century," and "Blizzard of the Century." The media has a short memory, and their labels are highly suspect.

Besides, what kind of distinction is "Storm of the Century" when we're just 1/8 the way into the 21st century?

In the postmodern world, time has sped up. Events are "instant classics", and storms are "storms of the century".

In the lyric of the immortal John Prine;
"Give my feet to the footloose, careless, fancy-free
Give my knees to the needy, doncha pull that stuff on me!
Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a sin to tell a lie,
and, send my mouth a-way down south, and kiss my goodbye!"

I have the perfect beer to go with that. Shock Top's new End of the World; Midnight Ale.

Well it's all we got to go with for now. Besides who's gonna be around in 2100 to look back on all of the storms? Not you or me.

Well, at least it's a new topic. What I want to know is whether or not there's team practice today? :-0

Storm of the century may be if Russell selects Louisville tomorrow.

I heard Gov. Malloy state in a news conference yesterday "the last time we saw something like this was never".. But I distincly remember he said that with the Snowtober storm, and probably with Irene too. I think he has a short memory too...or needs a new speech writer.

Gov. Malloy is a dope...congratulations to all on the board who have a different "leader."

He would be accurate, however, of the scale of Frankenstorm which maintained gale force winds across an area 1040 miles across. Hurricane, nor'easter, and blizzard all wrapped up in one not so neat package. At the moment there will be flooding throughout areas of the central Appalachians but not appearing to reach the record levels of Irene but it those same mountains have up to 3 feet of snow in the mountains.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Every storm is different, so of course he's never seen anything like it. Neither have we.

 

[JimGunther]

I don't know if Malloy is a dope or not (as Dairy sez) but, he did the right thing,

For me the difference between Irene and this Sandy storm was merely the fact that it hit the CT coast (well, New Haven anyway) roughly 2 hours after low tide while Irene hit right at the tidal peak. This was the first time in my life I've ever evacuated. No regrets.

FWIW: The debris field at my house was at a slightly different angle but abot 15 feet father beyond that left by Irene. More and larger rocks this time too (tho that could be because of the bottom characteristics from the different angle). I suspect we didn't have as much rain and I don't know if the sustained winds were worse in this storm.
