I did hear about the folks surfing in Lake Michigan off Chicago.

It’s not Global Warming causing all these storms – it’s all the hot air from all the politicians.

It’s particularly bad this year with the elections.

Remember that tall buildings tend to accelerate the wind. When the gusts are already upwards of 100mph before they hit the speed of the downdraft is going to be pretty major, and totally random to boot.

I’d be staying in if I were in NYC too. Bollocks to macho willy-waving.

Yeah, but that’s beside the point.

The real doo-doo is starting to hit Philly now. Watching the trees really getting whipped around now.

Haven’t you heard about the high tide on Lake Michigan with the 30 foot waves? Me either.

That’s mostly because a hurricane is about the only time you get any decent waves in the Gulf anyway.

Gives a whole new meaning to “government bail-out…”

Meanwhile, the Apple share price is holding steady in subdued trading.

What a bunch of wimps.

Wax down that board and get your ass down to your favorite Long Island beach.

Mother Nature is getting ready to Occupy Wall Street. Of course they’re running scared.

I still see no excuse for not allowing electronic trading. That is based out of Chicago and not NYC anyway. In case they haven’t realized it yet, NYC is not the center of the universe and life goes on as normal for the 80+% of the country that is totally unaffected by this storm.

The real ‘pansies’ are MDN who use the stock market closure as an excuse to not post stories. I guess that if the market is closed, MDN figures that the world is closed too and Apple has not news.

People along the Gulf Coast get their surfboards out for a Category 1, but since New York City is home to the corporate “news” media, it’s treated as though it were a Category 5.

Frickin’ chickensh!ts!

I am so unhappy as it has affected my plan to cash out to pay my credit card debts

Many New York banks are bringing their records upstairs to reduce the risk of more underwater mortgages.

Didn’t this happen last time to New York City??? Didn’t they learn anything about decreasing the impact of these type storms.???

Guess not.
