vamos scorcho Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 that flooding looks crazy. I went throught Hurricane Andrew and it was pretty scary(nothing like hiding in the hallway under a mattress while the roof flies away), but it was fast & furious with little rain and the worst of it passed by quickly. These huge slow storms are scary because people feel like they can hang through it and don't realize how dangerous the flooding is. Wow. Yeah I've been watching videos of some of the 90s category 5 hurricanes as well as these of Isabel... I forgot how crazy hurricanes could be (though the one in NY is not nearly in the same category...) This will give you an idea of why you should stay off the street though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-81OINq-pnA&NR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1oDzwPZBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 That meteorologist I posted above (the guy with the unspecified but dire predictions of damages, and also a gardening tip) tweeted that FDR drive is underwater for 50 blocks for the non-NYC guys, how is FDR drive significant? a main highway artery? Yes. Very significant, but it is on the shoreline of the east river. I heard 23rd Street is a river now. That is MUCH worse, imo. So is the subway flooding.

syd syside Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 this is completely not believable, I can't even imagine what is happening elsewhere along the coast, NYers I would imagine are at least pretty safe if they stay above ground.

They are saying that if it falls, it will crash through the street and break a major gas main, which will result in some nasty explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. NYC is mostly above sea level. This current level is something like 15 feet higher than normal. This is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rambo Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 flol Total bullshit about NYSE being flooded. I put CNN on to make sure Piers Morgan was still an idiot and maybe to get some news. I got nothing but lies. I must be too used to good news channels like BBC where they make sure it's actually factual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't think I'd trust BBC's coverage of local NYC news 100% right now. Right now, I'm following the posts of the few hundred NYC friends I have on facebook. That shit is underwater.
