Is this hurricane about to hit New York?

I use the "View New Posts" link so I never really notice which section post is in, since they're all lined up on that link.

You must have been posting on that 'other' hurricane thread. I believe this is the first time we actually have had a thread competition.

And what a competition it has been CG, your thread here has been a smashing success and incredibly informative and well written and documented!!!!! Whooooohooooo!

Just as I predicted, the New York subway is back on schedule for the morning commute:

The New York City subway, whose closing in the lead-up to Tropical Storm Irene was perhaps the most unsettling element of a prodigious storm preparation effort, was back to its usual robust self on Monday morning, with most trains running on a nearly normal schedule.

As Hurricane Irene moved over the boarder into Canada, after having unleashed its mighty torrent on the Atlantic coast over a dozen states, flooding became its dominant issue as forecasters predicted. Torrential rains in more than a half a dozen states are expected to bring upwards of a million home insurance claims.

But many homeowners are expected to soon learn that flooding damage left in the storm’s wake won't be covered by their standard insurance policies. More than 25 persons were left dead and another 4.5 million residents without power.

New Yorkers experienced flooding in their homes, but not as many as expected. In New Jersey hundreds of homes were inundated by floodwaters, and as far north as Vermont drenching rains poured into rivers that ran downstream to cause the worst flash flooding in decades.

I think the transit authorities in the area deserve kudos for their handling of the situation, both proactive and reactive.

15 pages, 141 posts to only 14 pages and 136 boring postings here..And i'm gonna delete this one in a second


and this thread is starting to flounder

Um, what about the page views between the two? That might indicate which was more popular with readers.

We could have a poll and vote.

The number of page views ARE the vote. Obviously, people preferred THIS discussion.
