The boats keep getting bigger every time he buys a new one. For the current boat, we had to buy a SUV so that he could pull it.

Poke fun at your husband all you want, but you won't be laughing when he drifts by your house on his boat and you're stranded on the roof. We're talkin' death storm here. Like Noah, he's a forward thinker.
 
So is there any rule of thumb as to the amount of kw generator to buy? Was debating taking the family to Orlando for a week tomorrow to avoid the whole power outage situation. The CL&P project something like 7-10 days.

It means get out of Brooklyn and areas surrounding LaGuardia. I guess there was a hurricane to come through in 1938 in that area and the results were not desirable.

I'm just happy I'll be moving back to Storrs tonight so I can be away from the coast. I don't know what a Category 1 Hurricane looks like and I don't care to find out.
 
This has now crossed the serious line. Stop & Shop is out of toilet paper!!!!
 
I live across from the water on a dead-end street with lots of huge, old trees. In the last big storm here, we had no power for five days, my house sustained $28k of damage and the baby seal in my avatar washed up on our beach. And that storm (the no-name hurricane of 3/10) was not even forecast. I am not looking forward to whatever this one will bring.

10 year lurker here, induced by the new site to finally register. Sitting here on the beach in Woodmont (Milford), drinking a Pina Colada, and watching a glorious sunset. Absolutely convinced that this "Death Storm", like the moon landing, is a mass-media fraud.

Somehow I feel that post would have been more appropriate has the lead-in been "I shit you not...."
 
I received a phone call from Bobby Valentine warning me to get all necessary shopping out of the way today so i wouldn't need to attempt to leave the house over the weekend and one from CL&P stating that I should assume that all downed power lines are live and dangerous and also assuring me that in the case of a power outage, they will do everything they can to restore power as soon as possible.

The fridge is loaded, the bar is fully stocked, I have plenty of beer (and wine) and my house is pretty well elevated (in the ridges in Stamford). I'm set for a week if necessary.

This category 365 super hurricane is gonna leave all of new England as apart of the Atlantic Ocean, or at least thats what i heard.

Damnation! Nan finally found the profanity filter.....Shitshitshit!
 
Bad news in the last forecast. The storm is tracking more to the west. That means more people get high winds and heavy rains. Hopefully it turns hard right once it gets back over water.

Means NYC is going to get flooded. All the water will spill right into the city.
 
NYC public transit about to be shut down for a while.

The center of the storm is ~12 hours away, and the "cone of uncertainty" is still like 500 miles wide! Thought it would be narrowing down by now.

What it means is power outages.
 
Got an automated message today that school has been cancelled for Monday due to the hurricane.
