I just took pictures of NYC Evacuated Zone A in midst of Irene

[Zeze]

This storm will go down in history as the most overhyped media frenzy.

It's eerily quiet. You may never see the tourist trap South Street Seaport this deserted again in your life.

Also pictures of downtown overlooking Wall St, Brooklyn Bridge, and the East River Esplanade.

Damn! Once in a lifetime pics for sure.

The greater the media hype, the more benign the storm.

Why exactly is he standing around in shit?

Why exactly is he standing around in shit?

He doesn't realize it's sewage

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

He doesn't realize it's sewage

Regardless of what it is or what he thinks it is, why is he standing in it? He freely admits it smells bad and he's even getting it in his mouth, but he continues to stand directly in the path of it? What a fucking idiot.

 

[Murloc]

so had the hurricane come yet?

It's almost 9AM now... what a crock of shit this was. I've seen regular thunderstorms that were worst than this. I'm in zone A as well.
