and why is this in general discussion? :P
northeast NJ by the coast, 90 MPH winds expected later today, lasting for two days, and forced evacuations 5 miles away from meI'm in Rhode Island and there is a mandatory evacuation in my town even though the real storm isn't even entering the state. I'm sure as fuck not going to the damn high school to "take cover." It may not be overhyped for the places that are in the storm's path, but it definitely is up here.

Btw, here is a picture of my houseblock, after a storm hit Denmark for 2 years ago. Not a joke, i had to sleep in my bathroom, cause felt like all these construction materials will break through windows on their way down... Few cars got trashed, but no human victims.

Yeah my area looks like it is getting slammed soon
I live right by the water too fml

Seems one of the picture links on your link rotates through images over time. Most of them are benign but one is linking to some sort of sex column complete with a completely naked picture of a couple posed in a woman-on-top sex position.
Oh.. its an article about moving together, and how it affects sex-life.
I will take my 20% warning like a man. To anyone who gets offended by a pair of boobs on a 100x100 pixel image - fuck you.
no1 cares in this thread about the real victims of the hurricane, only EUs and NAs bickering about tit pics
you people are as bad as George W Bush
was looking for u on steam, saw you offline for days, figured you killed yourself in advance of hurricane to die with honor instead of covered in diarrah disease floodwater as your apartment gets destroyed by falling debris. enjoy that storm surge dawg
in the tragic event I or both poophammer and I are dead plz sell all the looms for IRL dollars then donate the profit to a hate group of your choosing. I recommend Westboro Baptist Church, as i agree this hurricane is being sent by God to punish America for accepting bundle of stickss into our military

Thats life! Even if the world comes to an end, if a guy sees some tits, he flips out :mrgreen:
You are aware that most places of employment would frown upon viewing nude images at work, don't you?

Having a high-voltage power line network being built entirely underground is grossly impractical as your costs range between 5 million to 15 million dollars per mile, not to mention the nightmare of repairs for such a system in terms of money, man hours and most importantly time required to complete repairs. Having a healthy balance between the two is much better.As a professional in this kind of business I can tell you that you're just wrong and fell for the argumentation of the energy business.
trapped under rubble plz send help..We are calling 911 with Tears! Hang on Smoothreich!

With modern possibilities, doing underground lines is a piece of cake even on longer distances. The machines which are available nowadays can easily be operated by 3-5 men, it's like driving a tractor... slow but steady.
Sure , you won't do 2000 miles underground, that's silly but having lines that long is stupid in the first place...
And repairs? A modern cable can last up 75 years w/o a scratch, in my city are still cables in the ground from 1930. There basicly is nothing that could go wrong with the cable itself. If some moron digs a hole in the wrong place, cant blame the cable. And repairs are done in a few hours, faults in the line can be measured in with an accuracy up to 20cm.
But it all comes down to a proper planning in the first place and the desire to ensure safe power supply and my guess is that it is lacking in that spot the most. I've read an article about American Metropoles Power Supply grids being done as a ring formation, not as the in Europe commonly used star formation. That kind of planning is probably the cause for having Manhattan dark and cold for the next 2 days or something.
The reason for all the lights out after that storm is due to old infrastructure and long overdue repairs/replacement. But as long as nobody is "really" complaining, why not put that money out to the shareholders instead of investing into cable and a proper supply grid, right?

When Bura was hit, it did not shut down the world trading hub in NYC for two solid days which in effect did a global economic damaging blow to every country everywhere, to be fair.Nah, it's always the same...
And here comes the anti American bullshit out of nowhere. What took you so long? Is it really so surprising that a forum with a lot of American posters would be concerned with an American disaster? I have friends that still can't return to their homes, and some of them may not have a home to return to. Fuck off.

My joke was about US government... not against US pple who suffered by Sandy...

you might as well be one of the jihadists burning american flags after 9/11 and celebrating the death of american civilians, except even worse because you are injecting politics into a natural disaster. america and its people (including me) were first responders or constant fundraisers/donators to disaster relief internationally such as the haitian earthquake or the indian ocean and japanese tsunamis.
american foreign policy is pretty shit I agree, but there are times where people should respect our shared struggles and common humanity. it is a shame it often takes large scale disasters for things like that to happen, but they should be reminders that we are all people, and sometimes every person can need help.
god bless america

trapped under rubble plz send help..
yes and honor the fallen innocent got killed by american drones
Before Europe starts talking about the United States' actions in war, maybe it should look at its own history with war.
Well that's a compelling argument... not.
Nobody is "holier than thou", that doesn't mean we can't state what is wrong with someone else.
And what does this have to do with people struck by the effects of a weather system? Divine retribution?
Inb4 you bring up your love for the 3rd Reich again.

Inb4 you bring up your love for the 3rd Reich again.
the 3rd reich was bullshit, atleast his leader
lol?

this topic is more proof euros are terrible peopleThat's because EU is not a nationality. You are welcome to come and laugh when a hurricane + tsunami hits Finland. I promise not to be mad :D.
i bet anything if something like this had happened to EU the american posters would not come in and shit all over them simply based on their nationality
are you guys all 12 years old? grow the fuck up
this topic is more proof euros are terrible peopleJeez, you're an even bigger idiot and hypocrit than I already thought you were.

youre just mad because america is #1

youre just mad because america is #1See, the problem is right there. You're far from being 1st - you just fail to realize it.
sandy basically created a tsunami that wiped out large swaths of my state, was much more destructive than just the winds (which knocked our power grid out for days)
also my metropolitan area has about 22 million people in it, probably bigger and wealthier than most of your shit hole EU countries combined
