Frankenstorm

This thread's for my East Coast friends who might, and hopefully not, be affected by the hurricane. You're on my mind.

Cool pix of storm

http://gizmodo.com/5955575/earth-photo-shows-sandys-massive-size

Where I am at, all we really have to worry about is power/cable outages and wind damage.

Gonna fill up the tub tomorrow, so I can use the water to flush the toilet if the power goes out.

Its windy and rainy in outside with whistling wind.

There's a storm outside?

Al did you upload the wrong pictures? These are the same ones you put in the interior design thread.

I messed up the threads, and I can't delete these since the interior design thread are linked to these. But here is the storm photo which I took about 10 minutes ago:

Winds are starting to get fucked up here. Only a matter of time before the power goes out.

this is crazy

Fucking Mayans.

Power been out 2 times so far

Pay your bill. Do you need lessons on how to open and use a checking account? I know the perfect person to teach you.

^^^Guffaw. . .

Some of my kids yard stuff, that made it through the last storm fine, blew through the electric fence and I can see them jammed in the woods at the back of the pasture. I hope that fucking horse aint loose yet. I gotta go check.

I'll leave it at this and not even comment on the kid:

The, ummmm, electric fence?

Lemme get this straight, and, just for the record:

You need to keep your stuff (persons, places, things, whatev...) enclosed within an, ummmm... within a fucking electric fence?

For the horse, damn, Jim.

He has a horse? That explains what he was going on about There:

Back on topic...

This morning:




I think we're getting the worst of it right now, and I'm about to do a store run. Lets see if I get any better pics.

JB is gonna loot every corner liquor store in Camden now.

What is it with you three and Camden, already?

Surprised I still have power, out for a minute, wind is getting really violent now, but check this out.

A.C. Boardwalk gone:

link

It's all fun and games when it hits the Southern Democrats, but let it hit that Northeastern crowd and it's the Storm of the Century.

That boardwalk footage is crazy. I'd like to see the rest of it. For those that don't know, it's a few miles+ long.

What's wrong with Camden?


Scituate, Massachusetts, about 30 miles south of Boston:

Pardon? I do believe Democrats of all stripes objected to the handling of Katrina.

And I seriously object to the way the pols are handling this. Specifically:

Mayor McPanic decides to shut the subways Seven PM last night. Long before the first raindrops fell.

Then he orders that ALL NYC employees report to work or charge it to their annual time.

Now, I'm all for saving the taxpayer an unnecessary expense, but just how are they supposed to get to work when you've shut the goddamned trains?

It's Malarkey, I tells ye.

I shouldn't have thrown the Democrat epithet in there. I just think it's interesting that when it's NO with Katrina, or Charleston with Hugo, or Florida with any number of 'canes, it's a "news story". When it affects DC and NYC it's "history".

It's like "oh crazy NO, shouldn't have been built below sea level". Well, crazy Manhattan, shouldn't have been built 1o ft above sea level, with tunnels for added interest.

Your best Sandy news source...

If panzer had a friend, that'd be it. ^^^^

Okay, and you may have a point there.

I will tell you that, right now, the Hudson River is spilling over into the damned streets. And hold on...


Seems the East river is doing the same.

Yeah it affects a shit-ton more people, but the ones affected are no less or more damaged.

Anyway, JB, hope you and even Panzer and especially Fatman & Gypsy stay safe. You're gonna lose power so save that cell battery for shit other than XPT.

Garfield... Why don't you chose this moment to take up surfing?

My old place in the East Village years back on 11th/A is flooded outside half a car height.

We'll all be good, Bo, Thanks. I'm a bit more inland than most, as is Gypsy, I think. Not sure about The Fatman, but I'm led to believe he's on the Weehawken Heights, where Uncle Aaron shot old Alex.

Panzer's the one to worry about, as he's really really close to the ocean.

Garfield's gone surfing in this, what?


And, speaking of the ocean. . .

That place? Damn.

Jb, post the hurricane pics I texted you. Oh, and heather pink is safe uptown and said there's a taxi submerged in water off 23rd in Murray hill

Gimme a minute. I have texts coming in from 76 different people in this mess.

Glad Heather's OK. We didn't get to discuss this, so please tell me you ended up using her Doctor, 'Cause hers are the only, squishtastically decent set of bolt-ons I've ever approved of.

Her md retired 2 years ago I found out. But I showed my md her pics. As well as sander westgate's pics and several Japanese manga drawings. He said I was the only patient to bring in pics of cartoons.

You've just made Frankie Figgs a happy, happy man.

I would like to see those cartoons...they are pertinent to my interests.

Yep. Please, while I find the pics you texted.

I don't have the pics anymore. I don't save much. I'm an anti-hoarder. I had a few random pics of random nude models I grabbed off a Frankie Figgs thread also.

I knew it.


Update: Hoboken is, apparently, fucked.

I really hope any rebuilding in ny/nj isn't in the form of new douchey modern. They need to re-create it to preserve the history and lure we love it for.

You mean that "Mosesian" style the Hasids insist on utilizing?

I dunno. We're about to have a whole new culture next November. It could be anything. I'm not hopeful it'll be anything tasteful.

I mean like the douche palaces newly built along the Hudson.

Ahh, then. Not dissimilar.

Send me those pics again, 'cause I'm not getting them for some reason.

Meanwhile, this is Hoboken:

Oh you can rest assured it will be douche palaces.

Welcome to South Florida in Manhattan. Fake stucco and metal studs and precast panels to look like brick. Metal decking with 3" of concrete between floors and every sound projected and amplified. No substance at all. All so temporary.

^^^Agreed, but it's less Manhattan and more here in Brooklyn.

In any case, it's friggin' distasteful.

Well I got this from your text, and, well, damn!

Yep that's ground zero. On my twitter there's one of the Empire State Building being the only light in the skyline. Heather said a few hours ago, US Marshalls were ordering everyone in the street to get back inside.

Yes, well we've been through this before and you know I don't look at the twitter. There's only one dude on this board I know who can follow twitter all day and call himself heterosexual with a straight face, and that's MPZ. Or Meat, or whatever he's calling himself these days.

If Feds are deployed on the street, shit's really that bad.

If that's salt water/storm surge pouring in on that rebar in those foundations, do not live there when it's completed. Well, you might get away with it for 10 or 15 yrs but beyond that your shit's going to settle.

Manhattan is completely fucked.

I haven't been down there in a while, but I'll be damned if that ain't ground zero. So forget about living there, let's talk about filling some tower full of people there, yes?

That's not rebar that's the shoring system collapsing.

How's Camden, Fucknuts?

They should declare martial law and take out the looters, because you know there's going to be a bunch.

Naaaah, Vin. New Yorkers will fuck each other over in normal times, but not in this shit. It's just what we do.

I hear you fuck the Heffer's in Camden for a some welfare money.

I've never been to Camden in my life. Why are you three so obsessed with it?

Odd place for an odd argument.

That is most definitely rebar in that photo and to my trained eye it looks like rebar in a footing yet to be poured rather than rebar exposed by a storm surge that somehow dissolved all the concrete poured around it. My point is, if the rebar and foundations in that photo get built upon, it will digest itself in a very few years. If rebar is needed at all up there when you build on top of rock it's for seismic purposes.

JB's hometown:

There's no way that's a rebar cage. The shit off to the left is epoxy U-bars (perhaps) for a stem wall.

admixtures can be added to concrete to resist salt attack.

I think it's time to have a serious discussion about abandoning NYC to the Earth Goddess. It's Global Warming, I tells ya.

Good observation though. Bornyo.

It's a good way to thin out the herd and make the streets safer for the good folk after Sandy is gone.

Isn't it?







Well, since someone wants to bring an argument to this thread, let me say right here that I've known Bo for a number of years, and, while we fight occasionally, the man knows what he's talking about when it comes to construction. In any event, take a look at that photo again, 'cause what's finally getting done down at ground zero is, unfortunately, some hurry-up stuff.

I didn't want to know it was that bad, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

Jerky will cry havoc over this, I'm certain, but that's what he do.

I don't give a fuck what Bornyo knows about construction.

Shear walls have seismic detailing.

I don't know, maybe he's right. I don't give a shit.

Maybe the fuckers will use stainless steel rebar next time.

One thing's for certain. They don't build shit with stainless steel in Camden. They use cardboard.

Thank god they chose to rebuild that gawd awful office building instead of building a Storm Surge Barrier Like they did with Thames In London..


America an its hubris especially its so called "greatest city in the world" NY deserves all this shit its gonna get from this..

LOLZ

Dear Nathanial Mayweather:

Fuck you.

Sincerely,

NYC

I don't recall giving you permission to speak for NYC.

Now you go fight with the other irrelevant twat, yes? Good Boy.

You can take your permission and shove it up your fucking asshole while you sip Boone's Farm, Camden-boy.

Storm water got into the Oyster Creek nuke plant in Jersey and spilled radioactive water into the sewer system. Sweet! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for reals.

Someone's bitchy today. Couldn't be because I smacked you and your minions all over the board today, could it?

What the fuck are you talking about JB? The only thing you smacked today was your little willy while surfing for child porn. Perverted motherfucker.

What else are you going to invent? Please, I'm all ears.

Looks like it's taking him a while to think it through. . .

Is Camden a My Name is Earl reference?

Stainless steel on a government bid job?

Rebar vs whatever debate is jerking off for a few days (or hours...whatever) and the waters recede.

Looking forward to the mutations. Like from Japan.

Well, I heard worst of the wind is over. Metal roof of the horses run in shed was lifting up and banging around. I saw the horse a couple minutes ago prnacing around scared of it. As long as he is inside the fence, I should sleep well.

Power been out since 4pm. I hope that only lasts 24hrs like last time.

Jb is a delusional cunt. Never try to drink away mental illness children.

Good night

So you do have horses? And a boyfriend, too?



Yep. Got a Boyfriend, too.

And, apparently, this happened:

EDIT that so it's just the 3:00 to 3:40 part.

Thank you, I got sidetracked with storm silliness and this shit does come in unedited.

More storm pix

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...East-Coast.html

Well, at least the hot dog carts will have new water in them.

It's the months old water that makes them taste so good.

Great Letterman show tonight. He had no audience and a skeleton crew and the show felt like Wayne's World. Wierdly, the shots of empty Manhattan during the show were more effective than all the news footage I've seen this week.

Meanwhile, on Avenue C:

Just to update: After shutting the trains a day too early, the Emperor Bloomberg is still insisting people report to work. How anyone will get there remains to be determined.

It is just awful and I feel bad for all those affected.
On the bright side- New Jersey finally got a bath!

It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between a Jersey Shore wop and a Mexican wetback. That's especially the case this morning.

It snowed here today. Pretty sure it won't melt, either. So, it's officially winter.

I just hope that subway will take 5 days to recover so I will not have to go to college.

But how will you get to Ikea to eat?

All I want to get now is a strawberry Zingers or some Sno Balls. I got outside yesterday at 11PM but everything was closed and I was afraid of being hit by a tree or by a powerline. I did manage to get to the mainstreet, but everything was closed and the wind was too strong to cross it and I was afraid that I would get blown away by the wind.

And here we were afraid you wouldn't.




At your weight?

As long as I am okay, I don't give a fuck about the others.

Hopefully you went down to the Russian grocery store and stocked up on discount storm supplies.

He didn't need to go buy any. What do you think Grandma and Grandpa Panzer eat?

Gee, that sounds familiar. . .

Most of the affected areas are Democratic. What does that tell you? God is a Republican.

Did you see the photo of the trampoline that ended up in the power lines? It's always possible that Panzer could have been bounced onto the roof of some building on St. Johns campus.

Even Ralph Kramden thinks you're a douche. Carry on.

Nah, he's not close enough. But I like your optimism.

Fuck. I was hoping JB drowned in some Camden cesspool flooding.

The majority of negros and other liberals can't swim. This act of God was no accident. If California had been the roadblock to Romney winning, then yesterday there would have been an earthquake.

Have the Coloureds resorted to cannibalism in the MetLife Enormodome yet? It's been more than 12 hours.

Barack Obama does not care about white people.

I took a dump into god's mouth.

Has the Obamessiah gone to New York yet and waved his hand sending all the water into the Hudson?

he's doin' a heckuva job, that Brownie.

111 houses were burned during the storm, I was really hoping that the number would be over 10,000.

I dunno, but it's incredibly stupid to politicize this shit. Which is why I'm switching my write-in vote from Max Hardcore to Chris Christie.

I'm voting for Pat Paulsen again.

And the kids think I'm old.




As long as it's neither of the above. . .

Obama has already politicized this by taking the photo ops in the situation room trying to look busy. Then he gets on TV today and has the nerve to say "we leave nobody behind". I guess that doesn't count if you're in Benghazi.

Well, now the press has an excuse to ignore both Benghazi and Romney and focus entirely on Obama while he tries pretending he knows what he's doing as President. He'll fake looking "Presidential" and the press will cover for him by saying what a great job he's doing in comparison to Bush during Katrina.

"This is the moment the oceans began to recede."

...Fucking asshole.

Ummm, Meat?

Should FEMA be privatized?

Serious question.

Checked on everyone today. Charlie Malloy is doing well. So is the Magna Publishing office...just some minor damage done to the streets outside. Heather Pink, Gypsy and Skillz, Jim B as you know... All were where the damage wasn't bad. But I'm still worried about everyone worried about their city.

FEMA should be shoved up your fucking ass. Serious answer.

Indeed.

Should FEMA be privatized?

Since FEMA hasn't been privatized yet, nobody fucking knows how it would function if it were private. But if it was private, they sure as hell wouldn't be wasting their time saving people too stupid not to evacuate when they were told to.

That wasn't the question, was it? I don't recall anyone looking to evacuate Panzer.

Should. FEMA. Be. Privatized?


It's a yes or no question, and it was addressed to, ummm... "Meat." Oh, that's right. . .

I think FEMA should give me a trailer and then I'll open my own strip club.

How about you stop dodging the question like you're Tritone?

Should?

FEMA?

Be?

Privatized?

This is ridiculous (the fighting here). JB do you have power now? Alex do you? Has ANYONE heard from the Fatman?

Your mom should.

Yes.




No, and not in some time. None of us have.




How about he answers a yes or no question, then? It's more than relevant, under the circumstances.

agreed on that one...

I like the way that fat fuck rolls. I'm sure he's fucking whores, kicking his pets, and not paying taxes but I'd love to see what happens with him calling the shots

22 Dead.

110 homes burned.

The economic capital of the world now resembles Venice.


Should?

FEMA?

Be?

Privatized?



Are you and Panzer going to stick to "yo mama" jokes, ummm, Meat?

Meat, just work sea water and rebar into your FEMA answer.

I don't know or care if he answers your very direct question. He wears very stupid looking and stupidly expensive shoes that hopefully got ruined in the storm.

I've never really considered privatizing FEMA but since you asked...I think it could be and would perform better but in this case would probably cost more but maybe not. A private contractor could not do this without thousands of people on stand-by, so a contractor would have to pay otherwise employed and pre-qualified responders a retainer that guaranteed they'd drop everything when FEMA called. This may or may not be less than paying a federal wage and benefits to their fulltime employees.

A better question is, FEMA a Federal responsibility? Nothing prevents Washington from transferring cash to an affected State to rebuild as it sees fit. 49 States help 1 or 45 help 5 as the case may be. Since LA mismanaged their crisis so badly, maybe next time the 45 unaffected States chose to help 49 and let LA go it alone. Kind of like I've done after learning abuses at United Way and Red Cross. In the event of War, it would fall to the military anyway so my biggest issue with FEMA is how large it's become and if it ought to exist in the first place.

Well, thank you for providing the only intelligent answer here. I'm not sure I agree with it, but it's better than "Yo Mama."

You make a good point about basing it, at least in part, on the fiscal responsibility of the local Gov't.

On the other hand: I don't recall Ray Nagin being all that fiscally responsible. More to the point: If NYC shuts down, the entire country's economy shuts down.

So, I'm going to answer the question MPZ, err, McLarge, errr, umm "Meat" won't answer and say, No, it shouldn't be privatized.

Next Question:

Why does Mitt think it should be privatized?

Mitt is ideologically bound to the idea that anything that can be sent from the Feds to the States should be, and anything that can be done by the free market instead of Government should be. Therefore, if disaster relief can be privatized, it should be.

Of course, I disagree, but that's how he thinks, I think.

privatized disaster relief should be a subsidiary of whatever monopoly controls privatized prisons.

Which, like socialism, is a good idea in theory but piss poor in practice.

And how does a venture capitalist justify allowing the financial capital of the world to shut down?

Society's basic responsibilities should not be done for profit.

I have no problem with shoving a thousand human sponges into whatever subway tunnel to soak up as much water as their stomach and lungs will hold to get NYC back on track and the stock market running. hash-tag practical realism dot com

Nor would I, but the reality is: It ain't gonna happen. The only thing that's going to get this city and this country running again is some Federal Funds.

This is not an anti-republican sentiment. One of the best known Republicans in the country is endorsing it.

As an aside. . .




I don't recall seeing these, but I could use a good laugh after all this mess, so please link to this hilarity.

I'm looking at airfare to New York when my stitches are out the 7th, but Ashley blue and I have 2 hustler mag shoots, I'm shooting Marcia Hase for Fox Mag, and there's that Bukkake late January, so I don't know... hmmmm

I'll just donate money in case I can't volunteer with the Red Cross. Shit. Forgot I'm in Chicago for Thanksgivkng also.

MY GOD WOMAN, WHAT DID THAT PLASTIC SURGEON DO TO YOU?

Bukkake? The Sabrina Deep thing? Brandon could actually go and recruit a new bukkake squad?

The debate is about the definition of "basic responsibilities". Funding the arts? Cell phones? These are Basic Societal Responsibilities? Drops in the bucket, as you'll no doubt say. But somehow the bucket is overflowing. And then some. Choices, and not very hard ones, need to be made.

It's America and I'm a White Man, so so no one is going to stop me from answering the FEMA thing in my own short bus way.

"Emergency" is the second word in the agency's name. They are never going to do it right. It's a far from perfect world, and we're just deluding ourselves if we think we're not at it's mercy. So no matter who is running the show, disaster aid- wise, there are going to be pissed off people. Nature of the beast.

Personally, I think things are set up just about as well as they're going to be. FEMA doesn't operate in a vacuum. There are churches, charities, big companies, small companies, NGOs...individuals who go to Costco and buy a skid of bottled water. Is it perfect? No way. It never will be.

But the proof is in the puddin, to coin a phrase. When there's an earthquake in some Third World hellhole, who gets the call? The Kenyans? Fuck no. It's the good ol' Great Satan. There's a reason for that. The System does the best it can in really terrible situation.

When we lived in God's Country, there was some major flooding and FEMA rolled in. When it was all done the biggest kerfuffle was over some local vendors getting together to rig the bidding process. No big deal. When they were done, FEMA left. I'm not a big buyer of the FEMA Shadow Government conspiracy stuff.

As for Romney wanting to privatize FEMA, I can't defend it. We probably also disagree on the weed issue. And whether to give our garbagemen just a fist bump or a full on sort of creepy slightly grinding hug. Who fucking cares? I held my nose to vote for him...unlike this McKenna cat that going to swipe the Wa. Governor's Mansion. You're never going to get a perfect candidate. Well, Chuck did. Black? Check. Post- colonial Socialist? Check. Completely unqualified? But Black? Check. Goddesses, this is great KoolAde.

Glad all you guys made it. We talk shit, but I certainly hope you all (all of you...and me too) die old and painlessly in our respective sleeps.

Correct. My shoes were digested by salt water. Even though they had three inches of concrete cover on the compression face. (9_9)

Anything the government does, the private sector could do more efficiently and for less money. The problem is since we can't seem to keep our politicians from engaging in nepotism, cronyism, and pay for play (this is both sides of the aisle here) the private sector companies often contracted by the government aren't scrutinized as diligently as they need to be, which leads to waste, fraud, and abuse. Not to mention the sheer size of the federal government makes watchdogging private companies, working for the government, as well as the more obscure bureaucracies, like the GSA (general services administration), nearly an impossible task. Smaller more simply organized government bureaucracy and a great deal more transparency could solve a lot of these problems.

Oh, you mean these $525.00 monstrosities he was trying too hard to impress with?







Also, what's with that lava lamp?

While that's true in many cases, disaster relief isn't one of them. Even the Red Cross needs some sort of oversight if it's not to turn into a kleptocracy.


And, again, thanks for answering the question sombody kept dodging.

Typical liberal bitch ass answer from someone addicted to sucking off the teets of various entitlement programs. Half of the twats screaming for disaster relief don't even pay taxes. Why the fuck should anyone help them? America needs to cut loose these useless anchors who are holding the rest of us back.

Meanwhile, over near Wall Street:

Actually there is a fair amount of evidence that private non-military response to Katrina was better than FEMA. Wild-eyed conservative website "Hot Gas" discusses today how Waffle House, Wal-Mart and Home Depot beat the pants off FEMA, and how the New York Times and other worshippers at the altar of Big Gummint are wrong about Mitt Romney's supposed "Privatize FEMA" idea.

If any Occupiers were still around at least they got a bath.

Meanwhile that filthy steaming pile of Hebrew shit Nate Silver refuses to admit that Romney is going to kick Obama's porch monkey butt.

Fuck JB. He's a fucking cocksucker.

So now statistics are a liberal conspiracy? You're a n!gger. Care to guess why? Because you sound just like the n!ggers who say DNA is racist.

The liberals can take their polls and shove them in their ass.

Cocksucker you shouldn't talk. If it wasn't for a DNA retrial you'd still be in prison taking it in the butt cheeks from Jack Venice. But if you're so fucking in love with that Hebrew douchebag Nate Silver, then why don't you go work for him and you two can spend all day masturbating to fabricated Holocaust death toll statistics?

Coke lives!

Ugh. Saw a helicopter flying over today assessing damage. Then some energy company contractor was in the driveway across the street and he said not to expect power anytime soon.

They haven't touched a powerline in my area yet. They were working on a HUGE tree that came down across a road on one side of my block. I guess that is the M.O., make all the roads drivable, then worry about the lines. I saw bucket trucks all over today.





I'm hoping we get power back by Monday. I need to earn some money or I'm going to have to resort to selling my body. I'll have to charge by the pound, cause if I charge by the inch, it'll take me all week to afford a pack of smokes.

I've heard of some people trapped on their streets, because they got power lines and trees down on both ends. I have driven over power lines on a couple roads, but it scares the shit out of me.

Saw a video of a tree in Brooklyn bursting into flames when they flipped the power on in that neighborhood (power line down on it). Article said there were a few basement fires started too. I guess the panels were wet and blew the fuck up.

I heard that FEMA will be flying in crews and equipment from anywhere too far to drive.

Well, that may have been because THIS guy was running it.

Walmart's Katrina response? How does it measure up against Mitt's Walmart Sandy response.
A $5,000 Shopping Run to Walmart Turned Romney's Campaign Stop into a 'Relief Event'.



$5,000?




5,000.

I hear JB is happy Kurt Lockwood has returned to porn. I guess he can slap his fucking meat now watching old Kurt getting pegged by trannys.

JB, are you stocked up on food and other essentials for at least a few more days?

it sounds like things are going to get ugly in nyc.

They're eating out of fucking dumpsters.

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/video/#!/on-ai...-Dive/176839571

There was video of non-homeless people going through dumpsters posted online today.

If I was VW/Velvet and whatever other porn mag guys are in NYC (Is Charlie there?), I'd be out there selling my mags for $25 each. With no telling when the power is going to be back on, DVD's and internet/downloaded porn is useless.

this might be the perfect time for panzer to initiate operation chocolate shower.
at three days in I doubt most people are going to question where the hot water is coming from.

For ppl who still have no power, most of the chain eateries have generators and are open. Problem is, if you're not in walking distance to one, you may have trouble getting to one depending on your subway situation.

That said, I know a few ppl whose apartments are fine, but no power for a week. They've stayed in their homes and just deal with taking cold showers. Some of my friends are staying uptown with friends just because there's warm water and it's close to their jobs.

you could still pound off to the covers of the dvds.

Ethnic hoards roving the streets of New York attacking white people for food and gasoline...This needs to be turned into a pay-per-view event.

I'm good, thanks. Most damage seems superficial. Stores are open, stocked and unlooted. Worst problem in this part of town is transportation. Just cleaned up some debris and blackened some chicken.

We got very lucky here. Other parts of the city weren't so lucky.




What are you talking about? I've been slapping you around since 6/12/12.




It's 2012. It's not 1977.

Obama's America.

^ More like Bloomberg's New York. As soon as the rain stopped, he had cops out posting No Parking signs for the marathon he plans to launch from one of the hardest hit parts of the city instead of having them guard the supermarkets.


http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/si-c...ticle-1.1195426

Non-Union electric crews turned away from helping in NJ

They're going to NY instead.

Two generators and a back-up power media tent for the fucking Marathon

As of this morning there were 5 generators there. According to the article since Obama declared a state of emergency, those generators can be seized to help people. It's 51 degrees in NY right now at 11:15 their time. How cold is it going to get tonight, especially for people with no electricity or heat?

The National Guard was handing out food to people in need last night. The NYPD are occupied putting barricades up for the marathon. Bloomberg is just fucking stupid.

Its pretty cold at night on Far Rockaway: since I was stuck there overnight on the 20th floor at my grandparents place, I had to sleep in a robe and covered with 3 blankets. The only electricity is the lights on the 1st floor and in the halls of the floors. After 7pm - lights out.

People on Staten Island are starving and freezing too. I guess I was right about Barrack Obama hating white people.

Let them eat cake

Since they're the ones on the news now, Bloomberg is going to pull all the resources for them. So it will be your cake that they will eat.

Floyd Bennet trucks are not moving anywhere. NYPD, FDNY, ConEd and the rest of responders are busy idling and talking on the smartphones.

That is one of the benefits of limetime free membership to Ballys: unlimited free access to showers.

Isn't there some bath house that you'd prefer to go to with some of your tranny friends? And how can you be cold with all of the hair on your back?

Some stupid old Jewish Staten Island woman on TV compared her current situation to the Holocaust. That made my day.

Good thing that most people that have died during hurricane were christians. It was god's will.

Say what you really mean you filthy camel jockey. Say it was Allah's will.

Your mom is an idiot - it is god's will

Panzer isn't a camel jockey. He's a tranny loving and fucking member of the tribe of Israel.

Why didn't you just take their blankets and tell them they've lived long enough?

because they can still fuck him up.

The marathon thing is nuts. Bloomberg's a world class nimrod. Apparently hotels aren't honoring reservations made by out of towners for the race because the rooms are being taken up by locals who've been displaced. Good for them.

Was just going to post this. Unfucking believable. Now the teacher union will be the second most hated in NJ.

Yes, owner of Hilton Gardens in Staten Island said he won't evict the displaced for runners.

Some runners are boycotting/staying home.

Think of all the fuel to bus the 20+K marathoners around.

They say they will only be using recruits from the academy to man the marathon. Retired cop called into the radio show and said the 1200 recruits they may have would be enough for the Brooklyn leg. He also said that the recruits would still need Sgts, Lt, and Capt, around telling them what to do.

People are organizing protests online. I'd lay 10-1 that there will be at least one riot.

Because he can't steal their social security checks if they're dead.

Marathon is cancelled.

I made the mistake of being in NYC last weekend and my flight out on Monday got cancelled. I rode out the storm in a hotel in Hell's Kitchen and finally flew home Thursday.

From where I was, Monday was just a windy day with medium rain, power didn't go out. However, after that, almost everything in Mid-Town was closed, because most anyone who works there has to commute from somewhere else and all mass transit was down. Restaurant row on 46th was mostly open though, which was nice.

The ride to JFK through lower Manhattan was navigated through streets without power, cops directing traffic on some intersections. Trees were down everywhere in Queens.

I'd had a nice trip through the North Fork of L.I. wine country over the weekend. I've heard they might not have power in parts of L.I. for at least a week or two.

The disparity between the storms impact where I was and say, Staten Island, is striking. I've heard there are bodies washing ashore regularly now along the more populated sections. It's a shame, the gov't clearly advised evacuation for virtually all of those areas.

Oh boo hoo. I have no fucking sympathy for someone whose Meemaw's home has 20 floors.

Good. I wanted Rudy to show up and beat some sense in Bloomberg.

I attempted to have a talk with someone a few hours ago. I mentioned the temperature thing and their reply was "I watched the Today Show this morning and the people weren't dressed in heavy clothes." I quickly ended the discussion.

Mmmm. Lows for the next couple days here in NJ are 35, 33, 30, 28. Gonna be a lot harder for people to put this behind them if they gotta replace the pipes and toilets. I'm going to head home in a little bit and drain my hot water heater.

Thing is 30yrs old, but I'm afraid anything I replace it with will be some made in china POS that will only last 5-10yrs.

That was all Bloomberg's doing. Obama might be able to federalize the National Guard, but only the Mayor can order the NYPD to post these things the moment the storm abates:






Like I said, there are some Republicans, like Christie, who know what they're doing, and some, like Bloomy and Brownie, who don't.





The story's been updated. Seems Ray Hardin of Decatur Utilities made a rash and wrong assumption. It also seems that, after a half-hearted attempt at proceeding to New York, or anywhere else they were needed, Hardin sent them home:






He must be reading AWOP, because he certainly doesn't listen to Staten Islanders, even though they gave him his margin of victory in three elections.

Francesa on WFAN spent the first couple hours of his show railing B-berg over the marathon. I guess he did the same yesterday, because he said that when he left the building, there were some cops waiting for him to thank him for speaking out against the marathon.

B-berg should have never been allowed a 3rd term. I hope he dies a slow painful death from AIDS or asshole cancer.

Bloomberg spent a fuckload of money to win re-election last time. I doubt he'll run again.

He can't run for mayor again. He's term limited out. He's running the first self funded campaign for President in 2016.

I doubt that's cold enough to make pipes burst. The ground isn't frozen yet and the lows won't be sustained.

And what you guys need is the québécois to roll in with their off white non-descript trucks and go to work. They're like the SEALS of the utility sect...those fuckers do work.

He's also delusional.

Of course they'll fail to mention the difference between the two Governors during Katrina

The term limit was 2 and he is in his third term. No F'n way he sniffs the Presidency. He would pull less voters than Perot. Anti gun, NYC Jew that everyone thinks is a closet pole smoker...that would rile more bible thumpin kooks than the moon cricket did/does.

Actually, come to think of it, I'd like to see him run for POTUS. He been in his ivory tower surrounded by sycophants and leeches for so long he probably thinks his shit don't stink. National press won't fear him so he would surely get Keriked.

Alex, if you were at your Grandparents in this current situation and somebody tried to break in, what would you do?

hed take out his biggest dildo and smack them with it.then tie them up and give them forced enemas,before ass raping them.after that hed whip up some cuisine a la panzer(spam,vegetables,cheese,and ketchup involved somehow)and think about what to do to the intruder next.

Cue the Steeler's Wheel: Stuck in the Middle with Jew.

Maybe one of you fellow NYers can answer this for me. Are there actually any buildings in Far Rockaway that are 20 stories high? I can't remember anyone ever confusing Rockaway with downtown Manhattan.

I'd guess there are. In Breezy Point they started to build some high rises in the 80's(?). They got the foundations in. From what I heard, when someone realized that there would be no low income, because there are like next to no busses out there and only a bridge connecting it to Brooklyn, they put the kibosh on it. I think they finally removed or filled in the foundations a few years ago.

Breezy is almost all union Irish (NYPD, FDNY, carpenters, etc.) Very nice people.

Dude that shot up Clemens w/ the juice lives in Breezy. The hate for being a guy helping bring juice to baseball is lessened by the fact that he might keep that cocksucker out of the HOF.

I would throw hot water at them. Grandparents always have boiling coffee pot with water on the cooktop.

That might not stop them. You may have to become physically involved to protect yourself and your family.

Power was out here for 4-5 days, not quite sure you lose track of time. After 2 days, you quit hoping about electricity, somehow you feel lucky without flooding. just try to stay warm. Wait for lights, sit in darkness,sSleep away boredom, listen to radio, charge phones from car battery, go find open supermarket if you are lucky to have gas. then grab water, ice, scrounge barren shelves for batteries, pretzels, potato chips, snickers, apples, whatever won't spoil. it's surreal you don't know what to buy in survival mode. You start to feel like the zombies everybody is waiting for. Curfew from 7-7. Most roads pitch black. Down the street still without power.

You in Jersey or in Rockaway?

Really ? With the fucktards we have that voted for Obama nothing would surprise me !

Why aren't you out selling thermometers to people?

I only have the rectal ones.

I will only help out my grandparents during this hard time, so fuck everyone else. Tommorow I am going back to the Rockaways and will bring tasty foods.

NYPD escorting National Guard convoy. Flatbush & 4th, by Atlantic Terminal.

What they got inside the trucks, FREE food?

Based upon the reaction he got in Rockaway Beach, I'd say they've got The Mayor in there.

Who is protecting who? And from what? It's not like they're in Detroit.

I think they just wanted someone with lights and sirens leading the way. Traffic's nuts there on a good day.

Mayor Shitberg:

Leader in time of crisis-

1) Refuses to cancel marathon then caves under pressure
2) Endorses Obama
3) Refuses to let National Guard into Brooklyn b/c they possess guns.

You’re not a New Yorker.




Flatbush and 4th is in Brooklyn




Give it time. I expect him to get even Gumdrop Tittier before the night is through.

Natural disasters of this magnitude provide cities with great opportunities to initiate gentrification programs of areas once blighted by ethnic people. Imagine a New York without all the Puerto Ricans, Jews, negros and wops. This could all turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

JB is such a delusional motherfucker it's hilarious.

No, really. It's in Brooklyn.


You're not a New Yorker.

You’re NOT a New Yorker.

Do the NG even have to listen to him?

Nope. Cuomo, or, in NJ, Christie. Unless Obama Federalized them. Which he might have simply to co-ordinate between multiple States.

Next meat will try to say a Black man wouldn't allow guns into Brooklyn.

OK JB. I'm not a New Yorker. Now go fuck yourself.

You keep getting caught in your lies.

You're not old enough to be here, either.

JB....put a fucking shotgun in your mouth. You're beyond repair.

JB is almost as big a homosexual as Goldstein over at ADT.

Brooklyn bat man "Run, looters!"

Lawlessness and fear take over the outer boroughs during sixth day without power

The line for the gas station around here is blocks long but orderly, compared to other parts of the city. Hang in there, Smutty.

Spent the better part of the day cleaning up debris that's still blowing around before the weather turns again.

My ex who briefly posted here lives in Long Island and said he saw a fistfight at the gas station today.

Finally New Yorkers are responding to this tragedy the way only New Yorkers know how.

I am going to Far Rockaway to deliver tasty foods to my grandparents, plus a bunch of batteries: 16x AA, 16x AAA and 8x D cells.

Fucking Mayor Fuckberg and his antigun, anti-big gulp bullshit.

Translation: I don't qualify for the $25/hr temp jobs Con Ed is offering because I have neither car, nor license, nor workboots.

I heard a lot of people got their generators looted. Chain is becoming a hot commodity.

One woman on the radio said that after her generator and gas were stolen she replaced them. They bolted the generator to her deck, and she left a gas can next to it that was 1/2 water and a ton of sugar.

Power came back on about 8AM.

Ray Kelly no good for mayor. Repubs been in power in NYC since Dinkins. Time to churn the thieves and cronies in city hall.

I'm sure Mayor Scumberg is doing all he can to help out.

Kelly was first appointed by Dinkins in the last 18 months of his term, which was about the only smart thing Dinkins did. Kelly put a shit ton more cops on the streets and started the crime drop Giuliani took credit for. And none of the Dems would allow NYPD to continue “Stop & Frisk.” Kill that, and you’re going to see crime spike back up again.

So, more than a thousand would-be marathoners ran food and supplies over to Staten Island, instead.





In related news, the most Republican paper, in the most Republican Borough of NYC, endorsed Barack Obama. Yes, Hell has frozen over.

I don't get the arrows on the sign. Do they want the looters to line up on one side of the sign and people volunteering to be shot by the vet on the other side of the sign?

I was looking into getting a Franchi SPAS-12 with fletchette rounds. Just gotta call the FFL

These new emoticons seem a bit OTT.

On the bright side, Jews on Staten Island have it better than Born Agains in New Orleans. Jews got yarmulkes - which you can use as a bowl to eat out of, line with plastic so you can use it to carry gasoline in or even use to cover your privates if you lose all your clothes. Considering they won't technically freeze their balls off, they really need to quit their bitching.

Snow. On top of everything else, a shit-show of sloppy, slushy snow.






They came with the new, OTT software.

I'm not seeing any of them. Just a broken link. Using Chrome.

I get the same on Opera.

Are there many Jews in Staten Island?

The ones in Manhattan Beach got it rough. They got flooded on 3 sides. Lots of Syrian Jews there, I believe.



Emmons Ave is basically a dead zone. Every other traffic light is out. Street lights aren't working. Any business with a basement is shut down. If they didn't have a basement, then the water went back out with the tide so as soon as they got electric, a couple places dried out and opened. Shit from all the first floors is stacked on the street.

I saw the NYPD escorting the National Guard into Brighton Beach last night. About 10 minutes later some Disaster Relief tractor trailer rolled in.

________________________________________________________________

Fuck! Watching the local weather, it showed I should be getting 8" of snow. Then the dude named my town and 3 others that are looking to get 10-12".

And the power surges from the electric cutting out and coming on blew the control board in my dryer again. I really wanna kick mother nature in her fucking cunt.

I just hope that the rich people of Manhattan Beach got hit by the hurricane the most.

Alex what happens when you are a millionaire and a natural disaster hits and people wish you got hit hard?

I don;t care!... I just want them to get hurt.

Panzer is just jealous he don't have a Mexican woman to cook, clean and give enemas to, like the rich in Mahattan Beach.

Mexican? I'd think he would want a Brazilian.

Nah, all the Syrian jews got Mexican or Guat maids.

Power is out again, about 45 minutes now. - got 25 minutes of work to do before - can head out for the day. This absolutely sucks.

Power back on finally. What a shitty 2 weeks. At least my house is standing and not flooded.

Where is that, Brighton Beach? Because I can't wait for power on brisghton to turn on so I can go there and buy some pee-rozh-kee with go-roh and ka-poo-sta.

Nah, that is at my house. Weight of the snow made a tree come down on a wire about 10AM. 8mile stretch of my road + a lot of the surrounding are was w/o power.

I was in Brighton the other night, and a lot of the store fronts were lit up and people about. I think the buildings on the boardwalk took the brunt of it.

I heard in Sheepshead Bay the water was between 3-5 feet deep in buildings up to Ave Z.

Fucking chopper just went over so low it shook my f'n garage.

The power company in Long Island ran out of poles.

http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/lipa-restoration-will-take-longer-than-expected-1.4200568

Heard on the radio today that they are now saying it will be another 2 weeks before they hit their goal of 90% restoration.

that's ridiculous but such is life on the coast.

Good article on getting the subways back on track.

It is the special train.

Just came from the Rockaways and they already turned on the electricity when I visited my grandparents there. Took me less than 10 minutes to reach the 20th floor by feet, but I brought bunch of tasty stuff with me like kolbasa and batt'on. On my way back after 5PM, the bus got stuff for about 1 hour and 50 minutes in traffic from Beach 116th street to all the way after Kings Plaza. Everyone was on their way out of the Rockaways: Ghetto Zone.



Everyone wants to get on the bus, but I always make sure than I get on as first as possible so I can get a seat to sit on.



The place is pretty much without power, with only generator-powered floodlights.



Bank on wheels.



Big trailer with brand-name mealies-on-them-wheelies.



I asked if I could get something to eat, but the worker told me that they are wrapped-up for the day.

I believe Floyd Bennett Field is a staging area, that increases the traffic there.

Chopper landing on the baseball field next to the Belt Pkwy?

Yes. Since the first days they had trailers, ambulances, fuel trailers and generators all parked there. The big parking lot after the bridge is now big huge dump.

I thought you liked big huge dumps

Alex, how come you had to walk up 20 flights of stairs when "they already turned on the electricity" by then? Did they not turn it on for the elevators as well? Or did they see you coming and decide to fuck with you?

Electricity was on but not the vators.

Can't you buy a grappling hook online and be like Batman?
