Out of 136,000 people in my county, 111,000 don't have power. I still somehow do, so my generators now helping a neighbor that does not have power. Is it wrong to be sipping coffee, smoking a cigarette in the open garage while blasting "Rock You Like A Hurricane" and enjoying the view? Because if so I don't want to be right.
Anyone else see the guy windsurfing on the coast during the hurricane? The reporter was in the middle of talking about how dangerous the storm is and this guy having the time of his life just windsurfs into camera view. You could hear the anger in the reporters voice. It was on Barstool, ill try to find the link.
If there's one thing I've learned from Hurricane Coverage is that you're supposed to set up the grill in your living room. You should crack your first beer when you're thirsty... I believe that is also proper Hurricane Protocol.
No, it sounds like you are a seasoned veteran of many Hurricane Parties. For one hurricane, I think it was Isaac in 2012, our power went out not long into the first gusts of wind. Me and the wife had already packed up and planned to head to her favorite cousins house because they had a generator and multiple window units waiting to be unboxed and used. We packed our grill and the ribeyes we had just purchased a few days before. So we drank, grilled, and listened to the radio as it poured and the wind whipped. Our area didn't get hit too hard and the power was back on by the time we went back home the next day. We should have started the Hurricane Playlist beforehand - Including Riders on the Storm, Who'll Stop the Rain?, and others.
As funny as that probably is, that guy doing it is fucking dumb. Take it from this cool dude: ...Human being vs. Mother Nature is not a contest of any type.
Yeah... welcome to another round of "Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes!" Today's contestants don't understand the difference between sailboarding and kite sailing, or more to the point, the high-wind failure mode of each. Seriously... a kite... that you're tethered to... in hurricane force winds. That's just fucking stupid. I mean, I hope the guy didn't die, but come ON dude... what the hell were you thinking?
I threw him like an NFL quarterback does a football, into a fucking concrete parking barrier. I bet he got so laid after every one of his bones knit.
So some trees have fallen on neighbors houses. They've been evacuated to other houses. Knocking on wood here, but I've been incredibly lucky through all of this so far. I am literally the only one I know that still has power. And my house still doesn't have any major damage.
As hurricane Florence bears down on the Atlantic coast, friends in North Carolina are getting ready for the storm. My parents went through hurricane Frederic back in the day and were weeks without water or electricity. My sister had to escape in a kayak and completely gut her house after Hurricane Harvey. Hurricanes are constantly coming in but they were a few that are particularly memorable. I am hoping that the damage is minimal and the recovery is quick for all of those affected by the incoming hurricane Florence. For the milder hurricanes and tropical storms, this is a pretty good theme song. A lot of low-level hurricanes are an excuse to sit in your house and eat snacks or have a party with your friends. My short list of hurricanes next include fruit snacks and a box of red wine. Happy Friday, you idiots!
I just turned in my two week notice! I was absolutely a nervous wreck about this. I've worked for the same firm for 10 years. No more. What is life if you don't take chances? As a celebration my family may just let me pick where we get pizza from tonight. My house also isn't likely to get hit by a hurricane. Life is good!
Just helped a neighbor cut down a tree before it landed on her house. Still have power somehow, so I was able to take a hot shower to get all the dirt/rain/debris off me. Now time for a well deserved mixed drink.
