Hurricane Irene Thread
Greetings Monkeys,
With the recent forage of Hurricane Irene up the eastern seaboard, 2011 is shaping up as the mostly costly year ever in terms of natural disasters. This is why today I am going to skip on the ranting, raving, finger pointing and tail wagging. Money, markets, economics, bitching and moaning can rest. Today's a day to focus on the things that really matter.
I want to wish all of you guys on the east coast (especially NYC) well. Get yourself secured and stay calm. With all the crazy shit going on lately in the world and especially the world of finance, it is pretty easy to lose sight of the essentials. Dollars, prestige and success all come and go. In the end, having our health and security is the most important thing. Sometimes it takes unpredictable calamities to remind us of that fact. Wherever you are today, try to give a good thought and keep it positive. I'm making this an open topic dedicated to the monkeys in Manhattan's ivory towers forced to watch the the tidal waves below. Whatever you guys feel like ranting about, this is the place for it.
Be safe,
Midas

Day 1.
Im stocked up on provisions and supplies. Luckily im not in a Evac zone. I have 3 days worth of non perishables in case the power goes out. I have an escape route just in case $h!t really hits the fan. I talked to a couple of neighbors and they think I'm crazy.
The girl down the hall actually introduced herself this morning by knocking at my door. I dont know if this bitch found out I work in finance or she is simply a nice person; but then again I have been here a while so she must just want my precious bananas (I'm gonna bang her or at least try to).
Some people are having "hurricane parties" wtf is their problem? They are not prepared at all.
note to self:go to the hardware store and buy a machete just in case someone tries to take my booty.

Hurricane sex. Go for it.

@barboon Take it from someone for whom hurricanes were an annual occurrence: hurricane parties are essential.
Good luck with the 'cane, and better luck banging your neighbor. Rock on.

This has been literally the only thing on TV for the past week--i'm so tired of all the shrieking and hysteria. To hear the media put it, you needed to have your last will and testament completed and invest in a life raft so you can paddle into work on Monday. This isn't reporting; it's soap opera theatrics disguised as news, and it isn't helping in the least creating all this panic. I couldn't even get into the city for a friend's birthday last night because New York is a total mobscene already with everyone trying to get out.
Just hang out inside for a day or two, listen to music, watch movies, and don't plan any bike trips.

hahahahaha awesome post. i actually laughed. I don't think you would need all that stuff but it is def fun to get prepared. keep us updated on that chick!

The MSM thinks that the more people will watch them, the more theatrical/crazy/"world ending" the news is- sadly, this is what has become of "news reporting".
Either way, I happen to be in a place where the hurricane should pass directly over.. Being on relatively "high ground" I'm not worried about flooding and actually am a little excited for this biatch to get here.
Earthquake and hurricane in one week? Sh*t is getting real..
Not for nothing, but just
Not for nothing, but just about every home in New Orleans keeps an ax and a pirogue or inflatable raft in their attic so they can hack their way through the roof and float to safety. True story.
EDIT: For those wondering what a pirogue is, here's a picture of the last one I built:
Don't know about hurricane
Don't know about hurricane parties but I damn sure bastardized a spawn or two during that power failure in 2003.
Also, as an example of what not to do during a contrived panic, a few of my friends and I got so drunk on NYE 2000 that we crushed my boy's Y2K kidney beans and cinnamon rolls stash that was supposed to last him a month. Needless to say the maid was not amused and I learned that a grown man is never too young to wear diapers.

Midas, it is imperative that you write a book. You could put Tucker Max out of business!

Regular old plywood from Home Depot. It's all fiberglassed, so it's waterproof. 16-feet long and less than $200 to build all in.
