East Coast NTers...First an Earthquake, now a Hurricane? Vol. Irene

[big j 33]

As someone who has dealt with hurricanes most of his life in FL its ALWAYS better to be prepared than not. Have enough to get by without power for a few days.. Water, canned goods, batteries, etc. Be aware of trees near your house that could be damaging to your home or cars if you have.

Hopefully it misses but don't underestimate the power of hurricanes just because you don't get them often, they can come through quick and leave a wake of destruction

does insurance cover natural disasters?

The Earthquake barely caused any damage. and although Irene will do damage other places experience hurricanes all the time, we should be alright

 

[jordanscrub]

I don't know what insurance you have but yes most companies provide protection from named hurricanes..let's hope it's not to bad and insurance won't be needed

People love to live in danger zones.

90% of places where people live should not even have homes. Everyone should be in Wyoming or Montana or Colorado.

Street parking FTL, going to take it somewhere secluded.

This hurricane is being hugely exaggerated. Any time they say something like "This will either be a Category 3 disaster or just a tropical storm" you know things won't be that bad. Same way that when NYC weathermen say it'll snow 2-7 inches, it's usually 2 or less. It's very rarely the worst case scenario. The North East is the master of panic.

 

[dajondondo]

we never know.. with all the weird things happening.... i think im gonna approach this hurricane serious..

 

[10 piece nuggets]

I just hope the power doesnt go out. No internet = no life.

I'm suppose to be going to the Yankee game in Baltimore Saturday afternoon and then a bachelor party Saturday night.  This is the wrong weekend for this hurricane to be happening.

i'm no weather man, but i doubt its being hugely exaggerated.. i felt an earthquake a couple days ago, that's more than enough for me to believe something big is in store. Major evacuations + Weather center stated this might be the worst weather the east has ever seen.. goes silent for a moment, than ends off saying.. Stay safe Everyone

 

[OneNightDan]

I hope y'all make it out okay NT fam', and fellow East Coast'ers...
Glad I live in Dallas, Texas...

How does this make people babies? I mean the earthquake !%#@ and people getting all bent out of shape over that, I get it was exaggerated. People are just trying to be prepared to something that could cause major damage in an area that doesn't usually get this type of weather. Better safe than sorry as many have said before. Plus, with Brooklyn and Queens probably getting the better brunt of it along with LI and there being a ton of trees in both boroughs, people should be worried and take precautions.
