What's the feeling out there? My boss thinks we won't have work here at The New York Botanical Garden. Most of the projected paths suggest pretty extensive tree and power line damage. You dudes stocking up on anything? Got a hurricane day plan in place?
I'm going to cop some back-up fuel for my oil lamps, and probably hook up some Gosling's and ginger beer to make dark and stormys. That sounds pretty good right now.

Herb - Well stocked
Booze - Thinking of adding a bottle of whiskey to the mix
Batteries - Good call. Busting out the portable is the move.
I'm thinking getting well lubricated and playing some backgammon by lamp light while listening to records is a pretty good deal.
is that what the kids are calling it these days? hayoooo!
My boss thinks we wont be open on Sunday due to the Subway.
Pulling my sailboat out of the water this afternoon, I've never had to do that before.
when i worked in a boatyard the joke when a storm was coming was "don't forget to tie your boat down good and tight." yuk yuk yuk.
I suggest Blue Valentine and The Notebook for dark and stormy nights.
Whiskey as stated. Beer gets warm. Tequilla is good too.
Smartphones are a godsend. You can hang out in your idling car and let it charge.
Don't know how bad it will be, but I don't do storms anymore without a small
generator and a window unit ac. You can get small ones pretty cheaply, enough
to run some ac and the fridge.
Stock up on charcoal and prepared meats like sausage.
Stay safe.
We're all trying not to snicker down here in LA.
NYC is snickering back. Because you live in LA.
a greater appreciation for the swamp.
Just a joke, hope everyone makes out dry.
Your route advice was solid, btw. Thanx.
NOW YOU KNOW.
Seriously, good luck.
Right, because that whole Katrina thing was so hilarious and not at all something one should worry about happening again.
At it's worst potential this storm could be more destructive than the great hurricane of '38.
If that happens it could kill hundreds of people, cause many billions in damage and reshape parts of the New England coastline.
Hilarious.
Sayin'
Buys you precious more hours of cool.
KatrinaTip 102.
if you are in areas susceptible to storm surge, i would not risk it if it is more than a cat 2. if you need anymore convincing, do yourself a favor and look up what happened to gilchrist during ike.
i would be less worried about the hurricane-force winds and be more concerned about flooding possibility in NYC.
SCANDALOUS
Having never been in a hurricane or a big storm I hope I'll be.
