    It's not the only thing that matters, and the difference isn't huge.

    That caption is cringy. 28 miles across isn't even close to being the "biggest ever recorded".

    What can a man do but prepare the best he can. I think the boardwalk stores could survive. Right now, it's not like Sandy from 012. Our town house was built in 84 with a crawl space which flooded under the first floor of every unit from that hurricane. I think we will get whacked with heavy rain but the superstorm is south of us so far. I hope for the best my friend. air-dancer-o.gif

    The stalling element brings an uncertain element is all I'm saying. Looks like a beautiful boardwalk there.

    I was in Maui a few weeks ago when the hurricane was on its way. I left the morning it was starting to hit the islands. Anyway it’s a weird feeling when you know a storm like this is coming at you. Being a west coast for life guy I have never experienced major storms. Eerie feeling. Lived in the Bay Area during the earthquake in 1988 but you don’t have that ominous feeling that something is on its way.

    Yeah, but since you know its on its way, can't you just get the fuck outta dodge? I mean an Earthquake is completely random, but this you get a few days to prepare. This seems a lot better, although some people can't get out because it costs money I guess...but some people are stubborn and want to stay by their house.

    Not if you are on an island! But yeah, the people this week need to take the advice of getting out of town. Of course some people don’t have the means so they are screwed
