Hurricane Sandy

[mrsleeve]

and prepers are openly mocked not so funny now

My father's gas station down the street will no open to the public unless there is police officers on the premises. At around 4:00pm yesterday we shut the station down so we can give the rest of the fuel we had left to the police officer's personal vehicles as they helped us a lot. People would yell at everyone that it isn't fair they need to get home, they have no gas to go to work, etc. My gas station has 2 lines stretching over 3 miles in either direction.

holy balls.

start cranking up the gas prices! ;)

just kidding that would be plain mean.

I read that a single D battery is selling for $5 now though, which is insane...

tensions seem to be mounting out East.... yeesh. Anyone have some firsthand experience?

Are they going to be able to set up everything needed to vote in those areas?
Seems impossible to me.

They'll just take a population count, subtract 3/4 from that, and add that number to Obama.

Seems impossible to me. Plus I wonder how many people aren't even going to vote because it'll be low priority for them.

Shows up to work all proud, gets egged

So, is New Jersey still not letting people pump their own gas? Or has their ineffective, inefficient system of pump attendants broke down?

If I were the operator of the power company, I'd shut down all operations to restore power in that area and wait until everyone else had power. Fuck those people. The power company doesn't WANT the power to be down, they're doing their goddamned best.

Natural disasters can happen anywhere. That is the sobering reality.

Shit was cray the past few days over here. Two houses literally washed away out into the ocean, taking a family with it. People drowning in their basements and getting electrocuted. They are currently looking for two young children who were washed away from their mother after her car stalled out. Also this bad boy drifted up into Bay St.

sheesh that kind of stuff is truly terrible to hear...
