Title: Hurricane Sandy
Post by: silverMarie on October 29, 2012, 04:30:41 pm
This hurricane is freaking me out and I'm in Michigan. I can't only begin to imagine hat the people on or near the coast are feeling. To all my friends over on the East coast I am praying for you  and everyone else's safety.

What are our thoughts on Sandy? Are any of you already experiencing the weather from it?

I live on the other side of the world, yet, I have a bunch of American friends. I do worry, a lot about their safety. All I can do is pray and hope that they will all be fine, that their families remain safe.

Good luck and I hope you all stay safe.

  I know someone who is in Hurricane Sandy at the moment, her internet is down most likely. I really hope she's OK. ;_;

Here is something to take your mind of the Hurricane. Well not really just something to cheer you up. <3

-Edit, for some reason since we live in Ireland, and the ocean between America and Ireland is clear, we often experience severe heavy storms about a week after a large hurricane like this, I think it's because maybe some part of the hurricane broke off and started to grow and head towards Ireland, I live close to the coast, not exactly but I'm about 35 Miles from the nearest Ocean  and I'm down south so that may be why.

All I see when I look at this is how much snow and rain we might get from it where I live. We've had an indian summer up until this was announced on the news, and I doubt it was because Jack Frost finally woke up early this year.

My friends and I are hoping for snow because we didn't have any of it last year [we want a snow day and our state kind of depends on it economic wise], but I do worry about those that I know live that way. I'm hoping they're OK.

I also have friends and one sibling that is almost in the middle of the storm.
Last I heard they were alright, just a bit freaked as well (we Swedes aren't that used to extreme weather..!).

I will think of all of you who are either in the middle of it or who have loved ones there~ <3

It's just a hurricane, ladies and gentlemen. At least it isn't a tornado or an earthquake. ^u^

actually, hurricanse = moar (CRAB XD) powerful, and an earthquake is kinda easier to survive than 180+ winds throwing you around with chunks of debree O.O but, on teh brit side you dont have to worry about falling into the earths crust and being burnt up by lava, right? xDI has no friends in da coast, but I know that they must be suffering, and that pic... O.O sandys a killer!?

Oh man... I really do hope for the best for the ones in the storm right now. The hurricane literally just passed through where I live, and it was NOT exciting. Wind shaking buildings, and rain that could bruise. There wasn't any severe flooding in my location, as far as I'm concerned, but I'm still on the look out. Especailly since we just had a minor earthquake, and that NEVER happens where I live. Be safe east coast civilians! And a word to Mother Nature, you need to chill out!

  know an American couple, and I'm terribly worried for their safety </3
I hope everyone in America or further is safe; I wish them luck! :c

Since I live in Ireland, we wouldn't experience hurricanes and that, well so often at least. Just allot of rain and maybe a bit of floods. The last flood experience I had was when I was like 6 years old in Carlow. It went up to the doorsteps of our houses and everyone had to put huge potato sacks there... Fail. x3

A lot of wind blowing you around at the same time as a tsunami hits the coast.. brr... O-O
I wish you dear luck, American fellows. c:

I agree with you, but since I'm off the coast and within the South-East, it's not so bad up here. c:

I don't live in the east but I'm worried for the safely of both of my and your family members and friends. Just pack up food, water, batteries and other stuff you will need and you'll be fine. I hope that all of you and your family members and friends are safe. And sandy cheeks is a hurricane and a killer? O_o

I live in NYC and so far the worst I've had in my area is the extreme winds, rain, and trees etc falling down. Lower Manhattan was affected pretty bad with flooding as well as some areas of Queens. Alot of people in NYC and along this area of the east coast lost power. Mainly the lower elevation communities had the worst of it with tremendous flooding. Most flood prone areas were evacuated though. Here in the city the mayor had annouched that the MTA (subway, railway, buses) were to be shut down as well as all major bridges and tunnels. It's almost impossible to get around. My bf's flight had to get delayed and then canceled. Luckily since alot of precautions were taken it seems that the worst of it has been handles in my area. As for the other areas the had it worse though my prayers go out to those people. I hope no one has lose their life from this incident. Storms like this are not very common in our region.

I hope everyone over there is okay. Last I heard only 43 deaths have been recorded but that was a few hours ago. Nuzzle for everyone

Post by: .::Silver::. on October 31, 2012, 07:40:28 pm
At the time I'm in Florida and it's somehow freezing...
Also hurricanes are a HUGE deal, has anyone not heard of the damage that happened in Hurricane Andrew and Katrina?

Sandy turned out to be worse than Katrina, probably the most devastating one yet. We have a new record.

Anyways, hope you all are okay :3
Title: Re: Hurricane Sandy
Post by: SoaringAway on October 31, 2012, 09:12:28 pm
 The most devastating hurricane is from the 1928 which has double the funds the federal government had to pay for internal repairs (The Great Miami Hurricane.). The definition of devastation depends on what the person factors into it: funding, building destroyed, or deaths.  A hurricane can be taken care of ahead of time if shutters are purchased earlier along with cans of food, and generators. Unlike tornadoes, earthquakes or tsunamis, there is time for preparation. Many warnings have been given out before hand to leave the coastal area especially after what happened before hand..

I apologize for I have sounded harsh throughout this post but nothing will ever compare to what hurricane Andrew, Katrina, or Wilma has done. They were categories 3-5 unlike Sandy, that is a category 2. The deaths were only 55, not over the hundreds. I lost family in all of these hurricanes. One death can make any hurricane a disaster and the damages can vary per region but don't say this is the worse.


I do hope the best for those stuck in Hurricane Sandy. I apologize if this offends any of those out in the hurricane.. Sorry ladies and gentlemen.

I'm horribly sorry, Silver. It just took the matter personally and didn't mean to offend you or anyone. It just hits close to home, you get me?
Title: Re: Hurricane Sandy

I don't get offended very easily anyways, so no need to worry.

I was watching the news and it had videos of all the ruins that Hurricane Sandy done.. I was like: WHAT?!
It's so sad. :c Why do these things have to happen? It's extremely sad, but there's nothing we can do about it, really. :c

Edit: Maybe one day if someone comes up with an idea of building the World's Biggest Gate around islands and coasts and then maybe we'll be safe! Nah, just kidding. (Sorry for going off-topic and all, but aww thank you Greystar. I noticed your signature above. ;3;)

Once again, every time I read SoaringAway's post, it's Princess Bubblegum's voice that runs through my head while reading it. It makes it so terribly hard for me to concentrate.

I sure hope that the medical research that was lost due to Sandy can somehow be recovered in any amount. It'd be really sad. All those poor rats. :c I still don't know why they won't move and do their research outside of a basement. It's happened many times before, anyway.

The people I'm sad for too, of course, but that doesn't mean I can't feel bad for some lab rats that drowned either. They must have been terrified, the poor things.
