we're tornado warnings now

8/27/2011 10:30:50 PM

so my friend who has a house near my parent's place said our propane tank was knocked over and leaking. there are also power lines down (dead for now, but not when power gets restored)...

I thought this was a bad situation... the sheriff's office didn't seem to care...

?

8/27/2011 10:31:56 PM

I think most of Raleigh still has power.

Perhaps per capita power outages by county would have made a more useful image.

8/27/2011 10:49:06 PM

^I've been saying that to myself all day

8/27/2011 10:49:35 PM

but if you mouse over it, you see Served: 379612, Affected: 12760 ( 3.36 % )

8/27/2011 10:53:38 PM

Twin Rivers mall in New Bern earlier today

8/27/2011 11:05:52 PM

holy shit. my parents are staying in the hilton... said it was an island hotel earlier today

8/27/2011 11:06:21 PM

8/27/2011 11:07:03 PM

sawahash is mia

tried fb, pm, thread, etc.

I am thinking everything is fine she just has a dead cell phone, the whole island is without power.

AB flooded bad, maybe her car got flooded, and she cant charge her phone there, and her phone died.

Maybe she was chasing a news van and her phone got wet and there is no other form of communication since there is no power/internet...and the cell phone store which was probably closed anyway today is across the bridge which happens to be closed to traffic.

Maybe she has ATT which sucks ass and does not even work in fair weather.

8/27/2011 11:07:13 PM

I say you she dead

8/27/2011 11:08:26 PM

Maybe she's too busy drinking with that emergency hurricane beer she bought

8/27/2011 11:10:21 PM

All of Carteret County is without power, so that's probably why she's not posting.

Or she's floating face down in the ocean.

8/27/2011 11:20:12 PM

yeah... she probably has cancer

8/27/2011 11:31:53 PM

lol am i dick for chatting Suddenlink and asking why my 10/1 connection is only 1/1 right now?

too much to expect utilities to be fully operational 5 hours after the hurricane is gone? I think not!

8/27/2011 11:35:54 PM

haha.

I don't know... i guess it depends on where you are and any local damage

8/27/2011 11:37:01 PM

Greenville; there's a bit of damage I suppose. 2/3 exits from my neighborhood have moving water and felled trees blocking them lol.

8/27/2011 11:45:20 PM

8/27/2011 11:45:54 PM

wow. creepy. if NYC gets hit hard all of NC's media thunder will be stolen

8/27/2011 11:46:38 PM

8/28/2011 12:10:54 AM

if anyone has some trees down in their yard i might be willing to bring my chainsaw and help you clean up in exchange for some firewood. i'll take just about anything except pine.

[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 12:13 AM. Reason : looking at you and that maple tree, pttyndal]

8/28/2011 12:12:53 AM

Thats my maple tree and my dad heats the house with a wood burning stove so...


No deal

8/28/2011 6:43:06 AM

8/28/2011 8:06:38 AM

8/28/2011 9:14:32 AM

AT&T works just fine out here right now. Verizon is the one who's shit the bed. Can't even make a damn phone call.

As I posted in the lounge:

Quote :

"We're still alive here in Greenville. We had a miserable day yesterday. The power was out for more than 14 hours, but we couldn't open windows because of the wind and rain. We've regained power and DSL services, but we're still without phones. We luckily didn't sustain a lot of damage, just a lot of downed limbs -- one resting on the power line feeding the house. An outbuilding turned over on its side, but it looks like it'll be fine once we turn it back over. I was able to get into town, but there are areas with trees down over the road and a few areas of flooding. HW102 is one area that's washed out and why I went to Greenville instead of Ayden, which is closer. A lot of people (my mom is one of them) are still without power and consequently without water. There appears to be a lot of damage to power lines and houses due to downed trees and limbs."

8/28/2011 1:08:29 PM

Shit got real after my phone died...when we get power back ill post pictures

8/28/2011 3:10:24 PM

OMG SHE IS ALIVE...OMG....OMG...OMG...THANK GOD ALMIGHTY SHE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8/28/2011 3:26:26 PM

Not much going on here in New Brunswick, NJ except for the main highway into town which has become the greatest impromptu public space I've ever seen.

8/28/2011 3:57:52 PM

8/28/2011 4:07:12 PM

36+ hours without power sucks...no end to it in sight

8/28/2011 4:11:34 PM

^^tempest in a teapot

8/28/2011 4:18:16 PM

Just shy of 48 hours later we have power!

Tomorrow I will upload pictures and videos....i got video of 100+ mph winds...siding getting ripped off houses...and my roommatw and I on the beach with sand blasting us at 80mph (which in case you wanted to know...fucking hurts)

8/28/2011 10:37:50 PM

You went to the beach during a hurricane?

8/28/2011 10:44:38 PM

I mean me going down to the beach really just consisted of me walking off my back deck...

8/28/2011 10:55:28 PM

Found a picture of me on the web when I went out to take pictures of the Sheraton Pier today...

8/28/2011 11:07:56 PM

Pamlico county is in shambles. My parent's neighborhood is torn up pretty bad. still lots of flooded areas. Down power lines all over the place (only have seen 5 power trucks around here and they arrived tonight. I don't see how we'll get power until a week or so

Got lots of pictures (400+) will try to pick out some good ones later this week

8/28/2011 11:28:34 PM

Here is just a short video I took the morning before Irene...just to show how the ocean had really picked up...

Just hope it isn't 2 weeks. That happened to me the last time a hurricane hit Raleigh

8/29/2011 9:11:25 AM

I think the last time we had to go 2 weeks without power was Floyd... or maybe Fran?

8/29/2011 12:33:24 PM

We got NOTHING in Charlotte.

8/29/2011 12:41:36 PM

obviously.

btt for katia though...soon anyways.

8/29/2011 4:29:37 PM

Speak for yourself, punchmonk.

My windchimes were tangled as FUCK.

8/29/2011 5:07:05 PM

i evacuated to Charlotte

i can confirm that the bars and strip clubs were untouched by Irene's wrath
