Oh man, the grocery store by the Holland Tunnel was a mad house. All sorts of people you don’t usually see leave there house panicking. Store was sold out of water, and bread. hahaha. I just wanted to grab a snack. Liquor store was calm in comparison. ---

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste, and what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you didn’t think you could do before. ---

If we had a white president this hurricane wouldn’t even come near the US. Isn’t it kind of the presidents duty to address the people in times of crisis, or even possible crisis?

So I’m on the cruise ship carnival and we were on course for the bahamas yesterday. Lol ended up hiting tons of rollers and had to change course. I am now in the florida keys. was caos, ship was swaying like crazy. I puked my brains out after about 8 hrs of fighting waves. People were vomiting every where. glasses and tables were flying around and smashing. Was pretty epic. I was going to hop a flight from the keys back home but the weather is really nice here so ill wait and see how it goes. Wish me luck. Lol ---

i was catching slack in the weather thread for leaving NY’s winters for West Palm’s hurricanes… now NY has had an earthquake and a pending hurricane.
