I'm in evacuation "zone B". If I miss a weekend of coding because of this storm...

intense, good luck Ed!

Be safe Ed & anyone affected by this oncoming storm.

Aye, i hope this will not be another "Katrina" situation, good luck and stay safe, was kinda shocked when i read there was a mandatory evac going on.

You got to be prepared! Have you made plans what stores to loot yet?

Why is it mandatory? When cyclone yasi came through very few people were made to evacuate?

If i understand things correctly, the biggest city Yasi hit was Cairns, population +100k. Compare that to the 8 million in NYC alone.

Doesn't have anything to do with the standard the houses have to be built to in Queensland? :p

I think flooding is the biggest risk. Big population + flood = big problem.

I see, and to my understanding a cat 5 cyclone is only a cat 4 Hurricane?

Read somewhere that they told people that will not evacuate to put their ID card in their left shoe, so it will make identification easier... wtf :)

What cat is the storm at the moment? and what is it expected to be?

Good luck! seems like you get these storms each summer :/

For NY its like the first time in 30 years :)

Last i seen is that the storm is a category 3, but dont get fooled by the number, what i also learned today is that a category 3 hurricane on the middle/north east coast can be as devastating as a category 5 on the southern coasts (where the hurricanes usually comes in).

The reason for that was indeed the building codes, doors/windows for example is not "hurricane safe" by standards on the northern east coast.

And i found something about the angle that the hurricane has when it pass by would make the water have nowhere to go except into/onto land.

This together with the moon currently in position for higher than normal high tides could be an "amplifier".

I hope it goes back out to sea.

It's the US Jans, same shit but different state. Im sure their all hurting when a state gets any kind of disaster.

Oh and it was Floyd back in 99. So 12 years.

Keep an eye on Irene when she visits NYC: http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/

First one to screencap Ender should get the 'Met Ender' trophy ;)

i quickly bored of watching peeps walk up and down the street

that fucking shit of irene sent hes minions at my town and there was raining and storming for few hours.. hope you americans will kill it before it sends ultimate minions or even get us by themself.. i hope you will survive because of us... good luck.

i... did not understand that at all... your town was attacked by weather demons?

This is my best guess at what that means

Smaller offshoots of that fucking shit hurricane Irene have hit us and it was very windy and raining for a few hours.. I hope you Americans can kill it before it spawns even bigger hurricanes or even (untranslatable).. I hope you survive because it was weakened by attacking us.. good luck.

Good try at a translation. I think that's as close as anyone could have done.

i saw someone pointing middle finger at the camera at earthcam

I should walk down there sometime and wave. It's at 46th and 7th...I live at 42nd and 11th.

Lol, Do it!

lol im just getting light rain where i am. so if you need a place to hang and do some coding with a fellow bots player, im here =)

A real pro would bring a smart phone and open up the website on it and wave to himself when he is there.

Hurricane my ass. There's people waving and smiling on that webcam.

/me hurricanes Jans' rectum

/me hurricanes Jans' rectum

I guarantee people won't be smiling and waving when my rectum produces wind.

/Jans' rectum is a hurricane

This calls for German 80's Hard Rock \m/
