FRANKENSTORM 2012

Were they told to evacuate prior to the flooding?

Full moon means extra high tide, talk about ultra bad timing. At least it will be dropping for the next 12 hours.

NYC with no power on the lower east side of manhattan.

Very scary stuff

Now they are reporting fires in subways, and the battery tunnel is totally flooded

Maybe, but they’re stubborn new yorkers. Plus, where would they be better off going? There is no power anywhere.

I think High tide isn’t for another hour or so. Even later in some places.

The Perfect Storm or the Day After Tomorrow?

More chaos:

Transformer blowing up

All lights out except for empire state building

Not sure what this is, but it is no more

I was just curious I know they didn’t expect it that bad

Amazing pictures from twitter via #sandy

Everything’s dead except the empire state building

I’m so fucking good lol.

yeah it’s just really unfortunate. the storm timed perfectly with full moon high tides and unprecedented storm surges. my parents purchased in that area many years ago because it’s known to be less prone to flooding. They have owned the house since I was like 9 or 10 years old and water has NEVER made it anywhere near the house. Pure insanity.

Just announced on news12 that they are shutting off all natural gas on the south shore of LI in Nassau County at least.

Subways will be shutdown for a while…

Very eerie picture…

holy shit, that security camera pic

LIPA says 626,000 without power on LI alone

3’ of water in NY Stock exchange…

For those not familiar, Financial District is in downtown Manhattan, so the pictures you’re seeing of anything going on south in Manhattan is directly affecting all financial institutions.

OMG lol

I don’t know if this is real, almost seems photoshopped. This is the WTC site…

WTC is a huge hole in the ground. not surprising, but extremely surreal pictures.

This is the explosion at the 14th street power plant

Wow, a lot of people were talking about that…they said they hear a really loud boom and then lost all power.

Reports are coming back that there is no water in NYSE. Looks like TWC got a false report and ran with it.
