Scoob, you gonna get wet.

Paladin Skylark · October 30, 2012

Stay safe eh? For all of us pl0x

ScoobSTi · October 30, 2012

Tanks guise. I'll be fine.

I wonder how it's going to be for Leadfoot once it gets up there. :hmmm:

Judging by this map, it seems like most of the hurricane is purposely dodging Waftsheasel. :p

TIMELESS · October 30, 2012

The forecast has changed since yesterday, so who knows.

MephistoRacing · October 30, 2012

We has some heavyish sideways rain when the bug "arm" of the thing was over us, but nothing too bad. Winds are pretty hectic at the moment though. No power loss, or anything else major so far

October 30, 2012

Just saw some live footage of what it's like in some areas of NY on the news, looks pretty bad. They said at least 14 people have died so far. Good luck to everyone facing it and I hope you're all doing well.

MephistoRacing · October 30, 2012

The videos and live feed stuff I've seen have been pretty cool. I'm guessing they wouldn't be so cool if I lived there though :P

The Compensator · October 30, 2012

Mother of God. The NYC underground is also flooded. Wish you good luck, North Americans. :eek:

Wanted to go out around the neighborhood to see what happened, but our Isuzu suffered major damage. The engine starts, but at some times it sounds like it's going to stall, the exhaust pipe is rattling around a lot and there's a strong smell of fuel. We left it in front of our garage during the storm and it seems like that almost took its life.

Inside our garage is our relative's car but we can't use it until we somehow move the Isuzu. :(

Good luck with that Scoob.

Hope you guys over there are ok, seeing some pretty horrific images on the news and online.

Bit of old news, but our car got fixed. The fuel injector randomly sprayed either high or low bits of fuel into the engine. Cost $400 to fix. :eek:

My dad and I found out a nearby gas station had fuel today, so we went to wait in line. It took 2 hours and a bunch of pushing to find out they only let each person get $20 USD worth of fuel. So now, we only have ~5 gallons of fuel. Or about 19 "litres". :cheeky:

Eudemon · November 7, 2012

Aha 19 litres. Are things getting back to relative normal Scoob or is it as slow and tedious as what the news has been showing?

Ryzza5 · November 7, 2012

There's been news? Haven't heard anything about Sandy in ages, only american news is the stupid election which is almost over thank goodness. :wdd:

It is a bit slow but because it's the city, they are putting us at a higher "priority". It's bad for people that aren't in the city as work there is (I think) a lot slower.

I want it to be over too. :yawn:

Ryzza5 · December 20, 2012

Looks like Americans have some more bad weather on the way

CarMadMike · December 20, 2012

Surely that bad weather affects more than just America? :p

Ryzza5 · December 20, 2012

Not according to the movies :p

Ryzza5 · September 7, 2015

Anyone hear about massive hailstones in Naples, Italy?

Eudemon · September 7, 2015

Woah those are some giant balls of ice, I'm surprised by the laughing by those filming as come on if one of the big ones were to hit you I imagine it wouldn't exactly be fun.

Camel · September 8, 2015

I imagine it would be death if one of the bigger ones hit you on the head. :eek:

And there's this now in the middle east. Covering Israel, Turkey, Cyprus. It was so bad in Syria that it even stopped the fighting.

Eudemon · September 8, 2015

The latter I wouldn't mind if it continues then.

Some wild weather in north-eastern Aus (QLD)

Category 2 cyclone hit early morning before dawn today as a Category 4 Hurricane, I believe it has since become Cat 3. Interestingly, despite the very high wind speeds, the actual movement of the storm across the continent is a slow 8km/hour.
