We got the all clear at 4 this morning.
We had 4 foot waves at wailoa 6 mins a part for a long while. The thing that's really scary is this makes people become complacent. So when the big one hits..and it will hit eventually..everyone will be so Blaise about it. This is the 4 coastal evac in 3 years. Everyone here also believes that we can't get hit by hurricanes because we have a huge mountain on our island (um Kauai has huge mountains and they were hit hard by iniki and Oahu has a kazillion mountains and they were thrashed by Eva in 86.)

The only thing that keeps it undevasting is luck. And looking at the monster creeping toward the east coast, I would venture to say we as a people and as a planet are running out of that.

Stay safe east side.

You are in my prayers.

 

Had a weekend without news, so was completely shocked when I switched on the radio to hear what has been happening.

So thankful that my Hawaii peeps are safe and well and my thoughts are with my easy coast brood. Be safe xxx

Can we still say that there is no global warming? We need to change the way we live before its too late

 

Did the broncos lose yet?

 

Tsunami warning canceled after waves lower than expected.

 

dunno, but midway through the season my Eagles are shit and the ATL Falcons are still undefeated

something tells me we may be in for some 'Dirty Bird' dancing on behalf of Hot Lanta

 

Yes sir! Rise Up!

 

Football is my dirty secret. I love football. Love to watch it. Love to talk about it and being from Denver I root for my broncos on the DL.

Only thing is I feel this is suppose to violate all my omg-a-baby-give-that-bitch-a-baby-holy shit-imma-scurred-of-spiders-what-do-I-do-with-a-crescent-wrench-feminine sensibilities and don't ever admit that I love football as much as I actually do.

 

I'll be at work. And we are the direct hit!

 

Where do you work that will still be open during this shit?

 

Interesting...

 

In a warehouse. Still no phone call, we are open....

Parts of my town are being evacuated, but work is open!

 

LOL

i know the feeling

our university is shut down, but the university health system is still open

i just got an email that says everyone is expected to come in

at the end of the email, it says thanks for your dedication to our patients :smt069

meanwhile SEPTA is shutting the city down @1230, with no transportation services whatsoever cuz of the inbound hurricane, Mayor Nutter is saying evacuate lowland areas, and FEMA said the hurricane is gaining strength

fuck da noise...time to use some sick time and study up on my classes

 

Time to call out sick!

 

I <3 the Broncos too I spent the first 14 yrs of my life in Colorado. Can't tell you how many playoff games we went to...and of course, Denver lost. I was SOOO happy when Elway finally got his Superbowl win!

 

thank god for jobs with paid sick leave

:smt003

 

I wish I could skip work tomorrow because of the storm but it's going to pass GA entirely. I could use a day off.

 

this shit is going balls deep right into philly as a Cat 1 hurricane

if ya dont hear from me, ya know what went down

 

Stay safe up there and we'll see you on the other side.

 

I started the job in June, so I get no sick pay. I don't go I don't get paid.

 

Man that's too bad. I have some sick time saved up but I wish I had a reason to use it, since I never really get sick.
