Everything else might shut down, but it will take more than a hurricane to get those guys off that post at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
FYI Ralph, not that it matters but I read that that picture is not from today.

Stay safe for all of those in the storm's path!

Hanging loose in Zone A NYC. Live on the fifth floor, so we moved the car to higher ground yesterday and decided to stick it out. The bay is about 2 feet over the sea walls right now so West End Ave is a river about 2 feet or so deep. It just killed the electrical systems in the cars people left on the street there. Wind seems to be dialing back a bit gradually now, so the worst has probably come. Lost power a few minutes ago, but been expecting that all day.

Electricity has gone out and come back over 20 times already, according to my APC UPS software...crazy...lights have never gone out for more than 2 minutes though...
Wind gusts seem to be dying down a bit now, even though they said the peak would be around 9pm...
Thinking the worst is behind me here...and if that's the case, not too shabby...

So, I will assume you won't be blaming Obama for his failed response over the next week or so? Good to hear. Keep it real homie!

Bergen County NJ is a mixed bag. I have electric for now but my daughters don't and they live close by . Trees and their limbs always cause alot of the problems here. My brother's neighbors tree landed on his garage .Thankfully it's not attached to his house and he's ok.
I have relatives in the shore area . They are not right on the ocean so they are just without electric and stuck in the area , but ok. My friends and relatives in the city thank goodness are ok .
I hope all of you that got hit with the storm are comfortable and safe .

He's not the first one. Clinton did earlier today or late yesterday by essentially saying that if people voted wrong, the storm that would follow the election would make this one in the northeast appear tame. Classy guy Clinton. 
What's so ironic about Fanny's stupid post is that Romney sent a campaign bus carrying supplies earlier today to the storm area.
