Rain from Hurricane Henri is moving in to the New York Concert

[malaise]

They just suggested tha tpeople take out their rain gear but the show is going on.

This is not good with this large crowd and possible lightning.
A stampede is not needed tonight.

1. People living in the north don't really understand

these kind of storms.

I hope they don't shut it down before Springsteen performs (guess my age and area of birth .

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. 64, and born in NJ? (nt)

[mcar]

3. So close

62, raised in Scranton PA (Joe Biden's neighborhood). We love our Springsteen.

[Treefrog]

5. I know, I was surprised they didn't postpone.

This would have been a great show for September.

That being said, LOVED Earth Wind and Fire!

6. I think they do.....

My son went through Sandy....

Looks like Henri is still far away, (near Virginia) so the storms are bad yet

25. I have family who did too

I'm in FL so my appreciation of weather is different.

[malaise]

7. Our age

Hope it's just light rain coming in because the storm isn't really due until tomorrow
Barry Manilow never fails to crack me up.

26. My compliments to his plastic surgeon

Now I've got the damn Lola earworm.

[malaise]

28. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah for Barry

The late night comics will have a field day with this

[malaise]

33. Are you listening to him with Anderson

Tears of laughter are running down my face - seriously

[malaise]

11. Cancelled - lightning strikes near by

Better safe than sorry

[jimfields33]

4. Never should of had it anyway. It's actually pretty disgusting they did.

Covid is loving it though.

[Tomconroy]

8. It's not the hurricane. Just rain.

[malaise]

9. No they just cancelled it

Lightning strikes are too close

[Tomconroy]

12. Too bad.

[malaise]

15. Just said it is an outerband from Henri

and they had prearranged that if lightning came within 10 miles of the concert, the show would be stopped

[2naSalit]

10. Shouldn't be having an event like that

With hurricane on the way. Just plain stupid. But it shows what lengths we murrikins will go to for our entertainment which we must have no matter what.

[Treefrog]

13. This is pathetic.

All day CNN predicts an oncoming hurricane, a continuing Covid pandemic, and still plug this ridiculous concert.

This could have been good a month from now. Stupid.

[malaise]

14. So true

Now they're showing the lightning strikes int he background - should have been postponed until Labor Day weekend.

[Tomconroy]

17. Lightning could strike any night.

Oh. It's coming back! Or not.

[Treefrog]

18. Agree.

[Tomconroy]

19. CNN is giving mixed messages, some people are staying.

[Treefrog]

24. I know, almost amusing.

And now whomever Cooper is talking to is saying how wonderful the concert was to incentivize people to get their first shot - so they could go.

So that is NOT a fully vaxxed crowd.

21. I posted an OP.

Two super spreaders in one night. CNN/TFG.

I am pissed.

[malaise]

29. Well CNN is apparently totally indifferent to the coming storm

They want their concert. Who is this idiot with Anderson?

[sheshe2]

32. I refused to watch.

Fact is CNN is totally indifferent to the spread of the virus as they hosted a super spreader event just like TFG.

[malaise]

30. Well CNN is apparently totally indifferent to the coming storm

They want their concert. Who is this idiot with Anderson?

31. Re : COVID...God always has the final at-bat!

1) Chump rally
2) NYC concert
3) Phil Valentine

[Earth-shine]

20. This concert was supposed to celebrate the reopening of NYC.

Ironically, it may be heralding, or even partially responsible for the onset of the next delta wave.

[malaise]

22. I hope not but it is a worry n/t
