Title: So... the weather's been bad lately, huh
Post by: Tomato on October 28, 2012, 09:50:34 PM
So, apparently there's this storm coming to Maryland over the next few days that's gonna be kinda nasty, knocking out the power here and all that jazz. And since I have the horrible misfortune of living in Maryland, that might mean I'll be off the grid for a few days... which wouldn't be that big a deal, except I'm currently coordinating taking over the foru... er... some shenanigans over on the old ToF boards. If anyone here needs to get in touch with me concerning those "shenanigans" and I'm off the grid, please PM Benton or one of the other admins and they should be able to send you the password in my absence.

Since I'm in the DC/Virginia area.. I'm along those on FR who are probably going to get knocked off the grid as well for a few days. Hopefully not.. but you never can tell with these things.

I'm in Connecticut and in the same boat.  We may lose quite a few members temporarily, depending on how bad it is. And I have to drive home form work in the middle of the storm, assuming my relief even makes it.  If he doesn't, particularly if we lose phones, I could be stuck there indefinitely.

I'm in NY and the wind is really picking up here.  I'm thinking about being "that guy" and go fly a kite.  :thumbup:

Got let out of work, so that good.

I took my exit too fast and with the wind, rain, and fallen leaves spun out and hit the barrier pretty hard, so that isn't.

Good new is, both I and the car are actually fine.  The front license plate got scraped off, but I managed to retrieve it.  I'll get it checked out thoroughly by a mechanic as soon as I can.

Let's hope the rest of the storm goes better.

Yeah... I have to leave to go back to my job in about 20 minutes. Somehow, "there's a hurricane" doesn't seem effective in getting the hospital to take a day off.

I work for a casino and they are closed for the day, so it must be serious.

If anyone feels like robbing a Casino, now would be a good time.
