Natural disasters not worthy of a new thread.

Earthquakes are not weather. Also this thread cracks me up.

It was earthquake weather. So, yes it is.

So the biggest problem with this storm to me is protecting my daughters trampoline. Yeah I know it's only a stupid trampoline but it cost $200 [birthday present from Grandmom] and she loves it. So I turned it on it's side and wedged it between my house and the wooden fence. Then I put a bunch of heavy bags and rocks on it and filled my trashcans with heavy rocks and wedged them alongside it. Hopefully that does the trick.

No work tomorrow and I have a case of beer so other than that life is good.

It's not possible to just fold the thing up?

No. I tried dismantling it but in order to do so I would have to untie the net that goes around it. The ties are double knotted and I spent 30 minutes on one but couldn't get it. Tried finding someone with a truck so I could throw it in my moms garage but no luck.

Get your husband to untie it for you?

Here's what I'm dealing with. The trampoline is filled with heavy shtein and the other side is fortified too.

General_Failure · October 28, 2012, 07:11:06 PM

Don't mind me, I'm just cranky today. Apparently I do give a shtein about the stupid Eagles.

Good luck today East Coasters. May the weather gods be with you.

sandy intensified as it started moving closer to Jersey, which I don't think they were expecting. The storm surge is going to end up flooding the new york subway system.

The parking lot down by the boardwalk was underwater last night, I can't imagine what it's gonna look like tonight.

The Delaware beaches are also pretty much farged. Route 1 is already under water in a lot of spots
