And here comes the storm...

[seawasp]

They're seriously predicting an actual hurricane to reach NYC. Depending on the path of the storm, it could slam Troy (where we live) or if it bends a bit farther east, hammer us on Cape Cod while we're on vacation.

In any case, everyone keep an eye out who's on this coast, be careful, be prepared, be safe.

And surf those waves!!!!!

(wait, was that last one contradicting the "be safe"?)

Board up the windows and stay safe. If necessary, go on vacation somewhere else....

From the list, I think you ought to expect them every decade or so. Of course, category 3 at landfall is about once a century.

I must admit, from central Jersey, this is shaping up to be the most interesting natural disaster since Tuesday.

They've already ordered the evacuation of Cape May County. The whole county. Yeah, admittedly, that's about 40 full-time residents, but still, we've only got 21 counties and they want to clear one out? That's staggering!

Could be worse...

It's a damn tough life far from home and wife
that we astronauts undergo
And we don't much care when the mission's done
how far the ship did go
But you'll be sad to learn our deorbit burn
won't be made for our tanks are empty
And the fuel line's torn so you'd better warn
all the folks in New Jersey

Chorus:
Falling down on New Jersey, me boys
Falling down on New Jersey
We thought it wise we apologize
to the folks in New Jersey

Well it's widely known that a ship alone
would be burned up and destroyed
But the ship and crew brought with us too
an eleven mile asteroid
So when you've awoken all the folks in Hoboken
and the profs at Princeton too
We'll divulge the fact that the rock's impact
will be at seven thirty two

Chorus

Well now why the shock? Hell it's just a rock
Are we just alarmist fools?
But it has you see potential energy
of roughly ten to the nineteenth joules
With the rock's advance there is Buckley's chance
that the Garden State'll be spared
And soon we'll show if you didn't know
that E is mc squared

Chorus

We will strike a spark that'll toast Newark
and will flatten Perth Amboy
It won't be pretty in Atlantic City
You should shade your eyes in Troy
Even so and yet we have one regret
that we haven't the delta V
To push it forth just a few miles north
to land smack on N Y C

Chorus

Falling down on New Jersey me boys
falling down on New Jersey
We apologize- gee we're sorry guys!
What a drag for New Jersey

I dunno, Buckley's chance looks pretty good...

It looks like it's going to be large enough to do both. I worry more about Cape Cod, because of flooding. Please post that you're okay after the storm, please.

We are in an evacuation zone, although since we're on the top of a hill we're probably okay. But we've got an evacuation plan, just in case. We'll probably be marooned for a while, as I expect the road at the bottom of the hill to flood.

Yeeps - got some friends inland you'd like to visit? Prayers sent (for everybody).
