At least the winds are keeping Mothra grounded...
The burbs have trees, power lines, and branches. We have cranes and things high on buildings and on the streets.
Yes, but Mothra is one of the few monsters we can trust to aid in the battle...
Like doing what exactly?
Is it a strike if the ball passes outside third base on the way in?
I dunno, but I just feel like a crane falling down would cause more havoc then a tree.
Probably not, but I know my weather geek friends were first mentioning this storm last last Monday. Not saying it was right to leave/remove the crane, but it does seem like there was ample time to remove it.
They could've reinforced it with sandwiches...
That restaurant's right on the water. Even so, that's a hell of a flood.
With what bread?
Unless it hits here, of course.
Of course.
I was assuming they might have planned ahead...
National bread redistribution would have come in handy, AGAIN!
...or a wheat pool!
How many construction cranes are up in the city at any given time? How likely is one to come down in hurricane force winds? How much would it cost to shut down all those sites and take the cranes down a week ahead of a storm, and then put them all back up a week later? Unless there's something specific about these particular cranes that makes them uniquely vulnerable, of course.
Good storm info.
Any insurance adjusters on this thread?
Are you kidding me? After the storm, Doritos Locos Tacoes will be the main source of nourishment for several days.

They didn't want to be accused of needless preparation.
Though I hope this doesn't make me look like an ####### in retrospect.
Can you not tell the difference between buying up batteries and bread as if you are going to be holed up for 3 months and taking preparations if you are a crane company subcontracting on a construction job to make sure your #### doesn't fall on people?
guy on Long Island losing his house to the hurricane, but he still calls WFAN's Mike Francesa - to talk Jets....

Why isn't Tebow fixing the crane?
And there go the sewer systems.
First he needs a shave and a sandwich.
Christie and that mayor have feuded for a couple of years now over how much control the state should have over the struggling city.
got another flicker; my time with lights may not last...
I haven't gotten up to date on this season of Boardwalk Empire, but I must ask: WHAT WOULD NUCKY DO?
Awesome episode. I love this show.
so unfair, but then, that is a key to comedy, isn't it?
@Dave_Gershman: They should have called it Hurricane A-Rod; that way it wouldn't have hit anything.
In retrospect, somebody's always smart, and somebody's always dumb.
Like these people on CNN who decided to wait until there was two feet of water flowing over the street before evacuating when they've been told for days they need to go?
The worse is still to come right? Over the next 12 hours or so.
Them, and the people 100 miles away who did evacuate but their neighborhood is fine.

Rellies all in the dark, cooking with gas.
Really?
Seeing the same tweets, echo chamber also seems to be in effect.

uh oh
You guys okay?
A much better fate than the last named Atlantic storm: Tropical depression Robinson formed in early October but didn't hit anything.
Of course that means I need to stay relatively glued to a screen to monitor services, servers, etc to help fix any problems before they become critical issues.

We're ok for now we just had a malfunction in the building wiring. Hopefully the power stays on.
The MARC trains all shut down. My guess is that even if the weather seems bearable, the trains would not have been able to get through today. A few weeks ago they basically shut down for a run of the mill rainstorm, I spent three hours in standing room only for a train to get me home.
So Sandy doesn't like publishers running digital sweatshops.
Lights still on here too--also East Side-- though they just dipped slightly, and the monitor dimmed, for about half a second just now.
My apartment faces north, theoretically away from the wind, but I can still hear it pretty good.
My apt faces east, but I have a balcony.
Oh, and heads up to anybody in Lower Manhattan: ConEd about to shut down power in parts.
flickering constantly here, but this little engine that could hasn't quit yet. power out in neighboring towns, more than 800K homes in NJ - and in the condos across the quad.

I'm stunned I still have power. It won't last, I'm sure of that.
