If anyone on the east coast is reading this tripe that I write, please stay safe! Those clouds are scary looking!
I once saw clouds similar to that before a major tornado hit our area. We stayed safe. You do the same. Sorry to be repititious, but we need DUers and all others out there for the betterment of our land.

9PM tonight, so the worst flooding will be after dark.

Ocean boardwalks may disappear, dunes and barrier beaches will be reformed, a few waterfront houses may be swept away...

But for everyone, this is going to be a real stinky mess to start cleaning up on Wednesday. Everyone who's seen the Raritan River flood from a decent rain must be having nightmares right about now.

The damage is going to be in the billions. Hopefully, most people have evacuated to higher ground.

Never Again...is all I can say...

Katrina remains in my mind as epitomizing the callousness and corruption of the Booshcheney Era.

I bet the residents of New York never thought they'd be Katrinaized.

Good luck to all of you that are up there.

Damn, what happens to all those people's belongings? I'm not on a floodplain so I'm not flood insured. I will be by year's end after seeing this freak storm.

Just say the devil made me do it!

Actually, this was from George Takei's Facebook page. His comment:

"Fans are concerned about Photoshopped storm images being shared to cause alarm, so I verified this one first with Fox News."
