Guess what? The #1 birthday in US is October 5. Counting back 9 months we get...New Year's Eve (-:
Really?! Sandy was only Category 1? Wiki says Katrina began as 1, increased to 5, then decreased to 3 when it made landfall. Hard to imagine. Though growing up in DC area, I experienced many a hurricane. Hurricane Hazel is coming to mind. Might have been in 1955. I would have been 7. Those loud winds can be very scary. Not to mention vata vitiating. BTW, Firefox Adblock Plus all installed. No more ads! None! So Romney's ad actually caused me to do something that now prevents anyone's ads from being seen by me! He's such a friend to small business! You'd think yahoo would be smart enough to consider possible backlash. If only for their own sake! News is saying this is worst ever damage to NY subway system. Did you see those photos of the unlit NYC skyline?! Terrifying! But I do get the impression that New Yorkers are resilient. They'll bounce back. Feistier than ever! ________________________________ From: Bhairitu <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2012 11:22 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Sandy provides an opportunity for creative reportage LOL! That was exactly what I was thinking last night. After all they figure they have nothing else to do while the electricity is out. And we know that happened before during massive power outages in the area. A talk host on the radio yesterday afternoon imagined that folks in New Orleans were screaming, "it's just a category one!" I can remember a strong wind storm in the late 1970s in Seattle that took out the Hood Canal bridge. It was a noisy night in my apartment but not much rain with it just high winds. They learned to built floating bridge better at least until a mistake took out the old floating bridge between Mercer Island and Seattle.
