Huge storm coming! Anyone one have any driving advice besides " dont do it."

Bloomburg is a bald-faced liar too... on one hand he's saying the government shouldn't have to protect us from ourselves while on the other, he's legislating limits for use of salt by restaurant chefs, drink sizes and making victims of every law-abiding citizen who can't carry a firearm to defend themselves against armed criminals.
BAH...

 

#### didn't even read the whole Title...
LOL

Next time....Try not to drive into its Path

 

make sure you dont run your diesel down low in case TS's lose power
and your stuck somewhere
other then that you drive in rain and wind like any other time
make sure your reciever is even open before you go to place like staten island which might be evacuated

I sat in northern Fla just watching the rain go by because I had called ahead and knew the Coast Guard had shut down The Port of Everglades during hurricane Isaac

 

Or make sure the bridges to the Delmarva peninsula aren't closed due to winds higher than 55mph.

FYI, there's a 4-8 foot storm surge predicted for Baltimore.

 

The company I haul for is keeping me home until wednesday. Once its over im sure I'll be hauling the generators out to areas with power outages. New York and New Jersey are in the bulls eye. CT RI and my state of Ma are already in a declared state of emergency. Anyone thats going out in this mess please be careful. Avoid the area if you can. I dont need to flip on the news and see reports of loss of life on the road, especially when its a fellow trucker. \May the good lord keep you safe.

 

well you should be fine then most of the DELMARVA is at least 3 feet above sea level
i am just saying

you do know most people today do need to be protected from themselves
you watch monday how many guys on here are whining about empty fuel tanks and the ts with no power to pump fuel

 

He is in a tough place. That is a very tough call to make. If he evacuates and the storm isn't all that bad, he will face huge criticism. If he doesn't evacuate and it really dumps, he faces the same huge criticism. It's almost like darned if you do and darned if you don't. I wouldn't want to have to be the one to make that call.

 

the bay flooding might be worse then ocean flooding because there is no where for water to go
backside of the storm NW wind might even be worse for delmarva as the bay empties back out

of course after 38 years on the water i am just guessing

they build those house up on stilts in Wrightsville Beach for a reason

i have watched the water flow under mine in Wanchese B4

 

A good way to get on television is to drive through high water. Then crawl to the top of you trailer and wave to the cameras. You can also get a free helicopter ride from the coast guard. Just remember it is the governments responsiblity to make up for your stupidity. George Bush should have planned for this so Obama would not have had to.

Make sure you have in your truck candles and matches, get trash bags or plastic bags of some kind to keep your emergency gear dry. Keep canned foods and a can opener in your truck. Have 7 days of supplies on board. Water is very important. You may have to provide shelter for the public. Remember big trucks do not handle well on snow. Park into the wind. Idling is approved.

Of course with this much warning, get out of there.

If it does come down to it, a tip I learned from studying the Donner Party was that the best part of Aunt Susie should be eaten with just a hint of garlic.

 

Lol. I love your posts.
