Thetes leaves everywhere, everyone ok? My cable is out in south buffalo, anyone else?
Estimating 10-20 billion in damages, 7 million without power, 16 deaths…very shitty. Glad it wasn’t as bad as they expected in WNY.
Lights flickered twice. One fence panel blew off. Not bad for living on an island that just got ravaged by a tropical storm.

Lets go looting!
It’s blue sky here. The wind barely even blew last night.
Nothing in Niagara Falls/Wheatfield area, just rain and wind.
Basement in north buffalo is dry as a bone. no clocks needed resetting this AM.
sunny/no rain/no wind here in the 14221
Enter terrible over-hyped storm joke here:
Sandy death toll update: Hurricane, superstorm claim at least 16 lives, including 8-year-old boy
Where is the joke? :gotme:
My question is how the hell do you die from a hurricane in the USA? They were warning about this for what, a week ahead? It’s not like it was a tornado that just touched down in the mid west without warning.
I mean locally… especially with regards to all the fggt generator and safety plan talks.
People are retarded and stubborn. The news interviewed some ass hat that was right on the coast and he said, well I didn’t have any where to go so I am staying here in my cabin. It was the size of a porta potty and look just as sturdy. GO TO A FUCKING HOTEL SOMEWHERE INLAND!
Tree falls on your head, something heavy is blown across the street up your ass, or you’re a dumb bitch in the car and you drive into what looks like a big puddle and ends up being a fast moving flood sweeping your car away.
Thats how I feel.
Again I’ll go back to my statement that I believe I got shit for. Why the f*ck do kids have off from school. This storm was a joke for the WNY area and gave no reason for schools to be closed. They could have waited till 5am to do school closings like they used to do when I was in school.
As for the people who passed away from the hurricane… welll natural selection sucks. RIP
Doesn’t help when the mayor of Atlantic City tells people to ignore the governors evacuation order and simply take shelter at home or at one of the city shelters. One of those shelters was only 2 blocks from the bay.
But yeah, I bet at least 15 out of the 16 can be traced back to at least one really bad decision on the part of the deceased. Maybe one of those was a guy who was doing the right thing staying home in his non-evacuation zone house and had an unlucky tree come crashing through is roof and land on him.
Shit where in Eden do you live? My wife grew up there. I know some guys from the area.
This is perfect. Make it so citizens can’t legally own guns!!! Now only the criminals have guns and can bend you over because they know you can’t even defend yourself!
I bet 15 out of the 16 deaths were idiots that killed themselves. Maybe 1 person was just unlucky.
With how late they waited to cancel schools it was pretty obvious the weather in Buffalo wasn’t going to be bad…
The news struggled to find a picture of a fallen tree.
It was pretty obvious from watching the news the majority of the damage was storm surge related anyways and since we don’t border the ocean…
Really don’t understand the school closings, specifically why they decided to do it last night instead of waiting until this morning and seeing how the weather was. On my way to work at 7am it was a light breeze with some drizzle.
I noticed that as well.
I had to toss my sunglasses on this morning because it was too sunny. Hurricane Sandy is DANGEROUS!
I get to return all the portable generators you morons bought today, fucking siqqqqqqq.
