Seriously, how many of you fear-mongering, media-hyping, hysteria-inducing morons have actually lived through any kind of coastal storm? Not many, or you wouldn't be acting like major assholes in advance of a storm that may or may not do significant damage. Nor would you practically be wetting yourselves at the thought of mass destruction. Quoting: INK3 Ok, now please kindly give us your name and address so we can all give you our BILLS OF DAMAGE just in case this STORM IS REAL???? It's better to be prepared than to be STUPID!!!! |

I don't recall saying "don't be prepared". I live VERY close to the ocean, so I'm always prepared. There is, however a difference between being prepared and being hysterical.

If it was a Cat 3 or more Hurricane approaching then I'd be wetting my pants, some wind and rain ain't squat. |
ChickSlap User ID: 17925053 United States 10/25/2012 03:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm with OP on this one. No one is saying not to be prepared. Living in NJ myself, I have seen some bat shit hysterics go on before storms hit. Try going into a supermarket around here two days before a Noreaster or a blizzard hits . People take it way too far. Yes, yes, I get it, the power may be out for a week afterward but some people act like they aren't going to see the light of day for a year. The hysterical behavior plus the 8 gallons of milk, 14 loaves of bread, 400 batteries in each shopping cart is laughable. It's a Noreaster NOT a nuclear holocaust.

Yes it could completely miss. But it could also have the power out for weeks. Snow on trees with leaves, high winds, perfect power outage combo. Not just on the coast but potentially well inland.
