Will KH be dog paddling down lower Manhattan?

affected, TMM

I never can remember that rule. How does it go, again?

[Kuciwalker]

"effect" as a verb can only mean "to cause to come about". "affect" as a noun can only mean "a displayed emotion".

[The Mad Monk]

Well that's just silly.

Looks like most people in the evacuation zone used good sense and ignored the orders. Went for a walk along the hudson down to battery park city at 8 am and there were other people about. Cops didn't bother me. Hudson was within a few inches of its banks. I hope people really make a big stink about the preemptive and ridiculously long closure of the subways.

Apparently central park was "closed", but this was roundly ignored as well.

[Cort Haus]

Yes, but how were the crumpets?

Yup, KH is a brave canuck that hopefully never will be involved in risk management

Risk management is about balancing risks, probabilities and rewards. You're an idiot.

Yep and you are a moron. Closing down subways etc are a question about risk management and you certainly have shown that you are incapable of such

No, closing down the subways was a question of wishing to appear prepared on the part of a small number of elected officials, you idiot.

EDIT: and from the other thread

Yeah. Tech: "Gov, the gas pressure are too high, the plant might explode" - Gov: "doesn't matter, the voters need the juice".

Are you for real Kuci ?

Once more, demonstrating your complete incapacity for thinking clearly about anything.

You utter buffoon.

Sure, your'e the expert. Irene veered to the right, out into the atlant. if it had gone to the left, your sneakers would have become pretty wet.

[KrazyHorse]

No, irene made landfall directly on New York City, you utter imbecile.

By the way, there's no doubt that sections of the subways needed to close at some point. They didn't need to close all lines 18 hours early.

Wich idiot told you that ?

Shoot the bastards that demanded too early closing, don't shoot those that considered it sane to do it.

I wish I were an expert on disaster preparations.

That's easy. Build a fortress in the Rocky Mountains; fill it with stocks of weapons, food and fuel; shoot your family and yourself to prevent alien control

The news, you ****ing imbecile. Impact was Coney Island, Brooklyn.
