Hurricane Irene + Mandatory Evacuation + Temporary shelter (limited wifi) + NO Z :(

AK370Z · 08-27-2011, 11:26 PM

Hey Everyone,
I'm very sorry for my lack of appearance on the forum last couple days. If you have reported a post (or posts), chances are they haven't taken care of them. I am truly sorry for that. Also if you have sent me pm, I didn't get a chance to reply to them either. I'm not ignoring you, I'm just going through Emergency situation right now.

As You guys know I live in East Coast (South Jersey). I was told to leave my house (my town) because of this horrible hurricane named Irene

. It was mandatory evacuation with no "ifs" or "buts". Our governor literally flipped out on TV and said that it's VERY serious. So, on Thursday all day, I spent bringing everything to the 2nd floor as I'm 99% sure our Den area/media room (split level house) will be significantly flooded

. I put wood plywood on the glass windows, prepare food for to eat during shelter, pack up clothing and food supply etc.

Friday morning, I evacuate the city along with my family. I am currently living at this hotel that's pretty far away from the shore. Wifi connection wasn't working all day. Today it finally worked but loading time was HORRIBLE. I finally was able to load pages later tonight and hence I'm posting this from wifi.

Hurricane Irene supposed to hit our city this morning (Sunday morning). It's still a catagory 1 hurricane. Last 3 hour we were given 5 different Tornado warning. It's just crazy right now. I'm hoping that Irene doesn't do damage like Katrina.

I usually street park my Z but during situation like that, there's no way I'll leave it outside (even outside my hotel). So, I parked it inside a enclosed parking lot away from balcony on higher floor. Hopefully Z is okay right now

(I'm 20 miles away from my baby) Thank God I recently bought a beater car so at least I have a car for driving around town, evacuating etc.

So it's just waiting game now for Irene to pass our area. It's very nerve wrecking. Hopefully everything goes alright. Those who lives in Philly, NY etc, please be safe. First time since 1978 they closed down Atlantic city Casinos and first time EVER, they shut down NY subway. They are taking this hurricane very seriously

. Stay safe guys.

Best of luck, hoping you get back safe to things intact.

be safe man

V8Killer · 08-27-2011, 11:43 PM

Ya hopefully you will be fine. I am in Afghanistan right now and my girlfriend and my wife=Z are in NC. Irene landed right on top of them, I live right on the coast next to the beach so they took a pretty good beating. My wife is parked safely in a storage unit so no dings or scratches for her from debris.

I'm still in shock that NYC halted public transit. Like AK said, that is a first! I hope this whole thing is blown out of proportion and passes quickly.

Stay safe, AK.

TreeSemdyZee · 08-28-2011, 07:28 AM

No need for apologies AK. You all out East please stay safe.
I've been tracking radar for the last two days and this is one nasty storm. Hopefully, the ones that underestimated it are still safe.

KaienZ34 · 08-28-2011, 08:17 AM

well AK, sorry you had to pop your cherry on hurricane's like this...

we're porn stars down here in south louisiana on the whole boarding up, evac, recovery...etc.

try to stay positive, and trust me, it will all be OK in the end.

and remember, next time, you need to spray paint on the plywood---
"YOU LOOT, WE SHOOT!"

DITTO - Take it from someone who went thru Katrina. As Law Enforcement, I had to stay behind. So I went thru the before-during-and afterwards effects. This is by no means Katrina, only the panic running up and down the TV screens are akin to Katrina. It is still a really bad thunderstorm with high winds and plenty rain, but nothing on the order that these Media A-Holes are hoping it would be for their ratings. This is not to say treat it lightly - Precautions are needed. (It's probably on top of you from what I can see at the time of writing this post...).

See you on the other side safe and sound AK!

IRENE!!

They had us all sooped up here in hunterdon county that the storm was gonna be rough. Epic fail on Irenes part. These were supposed to be the worst hrs for us right now and Im lookin out the window and it aint even breezy outside, nevermind high winds. Im sure south nj got it much worse. I was in wildwood thurs on vacation when the evac order came down. We got in the Z and left that evening after dinner. Good luck to those more adversly effected by Hurricant Iweak.<--- purposely misspelled.
