Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Judy...I thought I was having a dizzy spell....

Patsy....tell your boss you have to leave and check your walls & pipes.....for cracks

Oh, wow, I really felt it, we are 150 miles from where it started, we also evacuated our building. My building shook and then it swayed from side to side, very scary. I still cannot believe it happened!!!! Did you all feel it in B'klyn and Florida????

Terry, loved your photos, wow you are having a good time in FL!!!!

Judy, Hope your mom had a wonderful b'day!!

Anna, I loved helping my daughter plan her wedding, I'm glad they are getting a head start on planning. Have fun at your friend's wedding.

Warren, thanks for the update on Anthony. I hope the doctors find the answers for your wife, has she asked her doctor about the High Fructose Corn Syrup intolerance test.

Earthquake in the Northeast....I thought it would never happen.

Now, We have a strong Hurricane heading our way.

Stay informed, Listen to the Weather Reports.

We could be in for some severe Weather Tomorrow Afternoon in N.Y......Then the Hurricane could be here on Sat/Sun.

STAY SAFE...STAY INFORMED...

As I get Older, I have learned not to underestimate the power of Mother Nature

THIS WAS THE STORM WE HAD LAST YEAR IN N.Y.C.

Hi Mary Ann,

No, we did not feel the Earthquake in our part of Florida. Looks like the shelf that moved went mostly North and North West. The Press Box in the Cleveland Ohio Stadium swayed back and forth. It went all the way up to Buffalo NY and across. My children in NJ all felt the quake either at work or home but no damage. We also are getting lucky with this new Hurricane. The East Coast may get some rain & wind from Irene but here on the West Coast of Florida we are not expecting anything. Our biggest problems occur when the storms get in the Gulf of Mexico. Even then, most of them either veer off to the East out to sea or to the west to Texas, Loisianna or Mexico. Not that we can't get one but so far so good. :compress:

Hi-quick typeby..glad everyone is ok after the earthquake back East yesterday...and please keep alert & safe the next few days when "Irene" comes your way...talk to u soon..bye

HI JOEBROOXX.

WOW!! SOME PIX YOU POSTED.. I DID SEE THAT ON THE NEWS

ABOUT S.I..THAT FLOORED ME.. I DID NOT REALIZE

IT GETS THAT BAD OUT THERE..

YES, I HEARD WE ARE IN FOR A TERRIBLE WEEKEND.. MY SON JASON & TONIANN HAVE METS TIX FOR SUNDAY.. GUESS THAT WILL BE A RAIN CHECK. ](*,)

YES, & YOU'RE RIGHT..EVERYONE SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR

THE WORST. LOVE YA, XX

THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM....

I HOPE IT STILL LOOKS THE SAME ON MONDAY.

Good Morning Everyone,

Anthony - Prayers for Anthony for a speedy recovery.

Joe - You are so right, I think we all take the hurricanes and other weather for granted, but I even got a call from the Local Police Station saying to be prepared, get a bag ready with flashlights, water, medicine for a few days and so on. That got me a little nervous. Everyone be careful.

Hello to everyone else....be prepared for this storm coming this weekend....

What is the world coming to?!?!? Hurricanes, earthquakes. Yikes. I was at lunch w/a friend and we were so busy talking that neither of us felt it. His office was sent home, mine was sent back in to finish work! There's no justice!!

The hurricane has me a bit more worried. I'm not in a flood area (or I don't think I am) but there's always a first time for everything. The rain is only half the problem, the winds are what I'm more afraid of. Oh well and this too shall pass. I'll have to remember to buy potato chips cause chips make everything right (along w/my 3 bottles of wine)!

Sorry to hear about Anthony - prayers for a speedy recovery.

Yes, Patsy I'm going to the reunion so I'll def see you there.

Rainy, gray, dreary day. Going to lunch. Have a good day everyone - stay in and stay dry!

patsy....i feel the same way....nervous but excited...

me & you....feel like a whack-a-do....lol

thank you warren......some people up here still don't think there is anything to worry about

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope everyone is getting prepared for this weather. I am very scared, My house is backed up to nothing but woods and trees....Make sure you get the usual, bread, milk, food, water, start to make some ice and don't forget to get some cash out in case the ATM's are down, get gas in your car in case you have to evacuate and don't forget to charge all cell phones.....

Be safe...peek back later

HI GUYS, WE ARE ALWAYS PREPARED EVEN THOUGH WE ARE INLAND, WE COULD GET POWER OUTAGES, DON'T FORGET CHARCOAL OR GAS FOR YOUR GRILL, LOTS OF FOOD, WATER AND DON'T FORGET THE INSTANT COFFEE. WHEN FRAN HIT IN 1996, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER FOR ONE WHOLE WEEK. THEY DID OPEN THE SCHOOLS UP FOR PEOPLE TO SHOWER, ETC. PLEASE STAY SAFE.

I HEARD LAST NIGHT THAT WE MIGHT START FEELING IT ABOUT 2 PM TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

THANKS FOR THE UPDATE, ANTHONY IS IN MY PRAYERS.

BELIEVE IT I WAS DIZZY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE, IT THREW ME FOR A LOOP!!! SOME PEOPLE WEREN'T PHASED BY IT, UNBELIEVABLE.

THE MAYOR JUST ORDERED MAMDATORY EVACUATION OF ALL RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN ZONE A.....THATS DONNA,KENNY,SUZY AND HER SISTER.....

......PLEASE STAY SAFE.....

...ALSO ,MOVE YOUR CARS TO HIGHER GROUND
