So how did you fare???

And then a light would fall in the tub, the power would come back on and...

:D

Exactly. Good thing I didn't bring the TV into the tub. :p

The brain trust around here evacuated residents from Atlantic City (which was pretty much unscathed) to a shelter 30 miles inland that, you guessed it, flooded. Oy.

One of the local weather talking heads kept saying "Most of us in Philadelphia have never seen a hurricane make landfall. The last time it happened was in 1903".

Uh, that was 108 years ago. I'm pretty sure that all of us in the area had never seen a landfall hurricane. I gave her a pass after she said it once but she must have repeated it throughout the night another 10 times. Where do they find these people?

Was it an Accuweather forecast? I know a lot of stations "buy" forecasts from them. Accuweather pretty much hires people right out of college for $35,000 a year. And it's pretty much the people who couldn't find work elsewhere, so their scraping the bottom of the barrel as it is.

She's an employee of the local news station but yes, they call their weather forecast Accuweather. Or "brought to you by Accuweather" I think is their line.

Accuweather or not, someone needs to tell her, "Yo Einstein, rephrase your copy". :D

Well. And it's "fare".

Thanks noticed that earlier and forgot to change it. SR is going to correct it now before Linda #'s admonishes him. :D

Irene is now dead. She's been downgraded to a Post-Tropical storm.

I won't feel totally safe until I hear it from Nadin. :(
