    Checking in as safe after hurricane Ida

    Hi, just checking in as safe but a nervous wreck after Ida in Rahway NJ. hearing the house explode right in my area very early yesterday and then the fire alarms going off in my building jolting me out of a sound sleep last night didn't help my mental state either.

    p.s. I hate you Ida, go f**k yourself!!!

    Thank you for checking in and letting us know you're safe.

    Let me know if and when you're ready for an Island nerve tonic.

    Aw Sue, take a chill pill. (;->) I never did figure out where that gas explosion was that scared her, my home town got the usual Rahway River overflow that happens every time there's a heavy downpour like hurricane remnants. I lived through several, but this was her first, I understand how a BANG on top of minor flooding except along River Road 50 feet from the river that gets it bad every time would be unsettling. No, she lives across town from my old neighborhood a few blocks up on higher ground from there, she's OK.

    As for me here in Lakewood, I slept through it and nobody floated away, but Long Island, New York caught the brunt of it head on. They're in a bad spot right in the path of them moving up the coast. There are plenty of news stories still kicking around the Internet, I captured a cell tower with long pieces of cables flying in the breeze. There you have it, how many times do we have to SCREAM cell service is the first to go down in an emergency before telcos wise up? At least they should stop using plastic cable ties and try Wraplock................

    you are a real fucking jerk. This was NOT my first flooding incident here or when I lived in Cranford and we are not on higher ground, you aren't even here to see what happened on my street and streets and towns around me. Stop talking about everything that you know nothing about when you are 100 miles away and not here to see factual events and the aftermath people are going through for yourself and as far as that chill pill you should stick it up your ass while thinking about how you shouldn't run your mouth without knowing the facts.
