New York Yankees Forum Off-Topic Thread VI: Revenge of the Binder

So yeah.

1.1 million customers on long Island 850,000 without power. Montauk has become a temporary island. Manhattan roughly 12 feet of water. Part of queens/Brooklyn is burning and can't be put out because fire personal could not get to the scene due to flooding. Last I checked over two blocks were burning. Fire fighters were trapped. One conformed person killed by a tree. Beaches are completely Breached and eroded, one fire island community had 7 houses washed out too sea. I'm sure there's a lot more I'm forgetting and it's only the beginning. The next block over from me has power but not me. We didn't even get the brunt of the storm I can only imagine what happened the the shore communities in new jersey.

I spent roughly 16 hours at my fire house during the storm and we responded as a department to 220 calls. We had water rescues, a house fire. Amongst many insane cals.. What a nightmare this storm was.

How could there be house fires if it's raining and flooding?

I heard there were locusts and frogs too.

Never lost power in the storm. No flooding of any kind either.

Media overhype like every hurricane. Sure there was a mess but it wasn't Armageddon.

That's why JD never got a Swine Flu shot during that scare. Bunch of media B.S. hype that they're trying to scare us with.

Power lines falling on houses, cars..sparking and setting things on fire?

Fire services could not get to the fire due to flooding. It was very bad. We had 2 house fires in my district on long island.

[LeoYankee]

I was just wondering how fires could start in the rain, but I've seen the photos and it looks insane. Kinda reminds me of what happened to Joplin a year ago, except you guys have water damage.

To turn this into a happy thread. Any plans for tonight, parties, trick-or-treating, other plans.

Nothing special. I'd like to spend time with the girlfriend, but with school, work, etc I dont think itll happen.

Probably just hang out with the family, knock back some booze, eat, and watch horror movies.

[LeoYankee]

I'm going to murder someone.
