Re: Hurricane Sandy

Here in Cobourg, ON winds are up to 40km with gusts up to 50. And the power is flickering.

My word, the apocalypse appears to be nigh. Quote CBC news, live from somewhere in the GTA:

"It's looking bad, there are some garbage cans that have blown over near where I'm standing"

Lord have mercy on us

I can share my depends with both you and Bats. I'm good like that.

Been watching the coverage on CNN - be interesting to see what happens when high tide / storm surge hits.
