#justsaying

OK, NOT PERSONALLY TO US BUT TO THE STATE OF NY...

“Because Irene is now bearing down on us at a faster speed than it was yesterday, we are

changing a few things. We are today issuing a mandatory - I repeat the word mandatory - evacuation order for all New Yorkers who live

in the low-lying Zone A coastal areas in all five boroughs that are at greatest risk of

damage relating to Irene, and we're adding to that the rest of the Rockaways, some of which are not Zone A, but are Zone B”

TURNS OUT, WE’RE IN A “MANDATORY EVACUATION” AREA...

95 WALL ST, OUR LOVELY APT

SO WHAT DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN?

[WE DON’T KNOW.]

LET’S START WITH WHAT WE KNOW...

[FARIS HAS ANTLERS AND ANSWERS.]

FACT:Hurricane Irene is a category 2-3 hurricane.

FACT:Weather is hard to predict.

FACT:NYC Public Transit will shut down at noon Saturday.

FACT:We will likely lose power if we stay in our apartment

FACT:Storm watching/chasing is awesome.

OPTION 1: OUR APARTMENTCONSIDERATIONS:

Stock up on booze // Play games // Cook using gas stove // No hassle moving stuff // We are

only on the edge of the actual evacuation zone

WARNINGS:Mandatory evacuation // Power

could go out // Area could flood // Water could go out which means no showers and we have to

fill the toilet ourselves from the bathtub // May get stuck inside // Above the 12th floor - At higher

risk of windows blowing

CONSIDERATIONS:Stock up on booze // Play

games with awesome friends// Cook using electricity // Piano // Karaoke // Slumber

party // Big apartment

WARNINGS:Power could still go out // Area could flood, though

less likely // Need to move shit before trains shut down

at noon tmrw // Need to bring bedding

OPTION 2: A FRIEND’S APT
