Tropical depression eyed as possible East Coast smacker
By adamg on Mon, 09/28/2015 - 9:24pm
A tropical depression currently called just 11 might, maybe, possibly, bring heavy rains and high winds to the Boston area this weekend. We're currently in cone of probability for the storm, which could become Tropical Storm Joaquin tomorrow, if its winds get above 35 m.p.h. But National Hurricane Center forecasters currently aren't really sure of the storm's exact track and intensity yet.

We're In The Cone Of Probability?!! — Mibs! Mibs!
Me First!
NOT adorable!
Is the cone of probability...
...anything like the cone of silence? In which case, we won't get the storm, because as old timers like me will remember, the cone of silence never worked.
Going to need a cargo plane
Airlifting several tons of these should do the trick:

I'm a little rusty on this
This means we can start putting space savers out now, right?

All set for that
I think this warrants a run to Danvers or Waltham for a giant bottle of Kirkland anejo, though.

So glad to learn I fly out in
So glad to learn I fly out in tomorrow's mess and return Sunday to an even bigger mess! The joys and unpredictable nature of flying really tickles me. Guess I should have picked any of the non washout weeks to fly out since it hasn't rained in months. Hope I survive!
I do not LIKE....
I do not LIKE the Cone of Shame.
It is now officially "Joaquin"
Track still unclear.
Frack this weather
I'm not a survivalists nor am I a doomsday prepper but I'm going to put a couple of disaster backpacks together. One for my house and one for my car.
It is a good idea to have some things on hand
I remember a friend in lower Manhattan asked me if she really needed all the recommended stuff when the Dept. of Homeland Security was sending out the Be Very Afraid of Chemical Warfare messages. I pointed out that it might be a good idea to have some of the stuff on hand during a hurricane or noreaster, as thick plastic sheeting could be used to repair a window, and fresh water and pet supplies might be important if you get stuck in your house.
Nine years later, enter Hurricane Sandy. She was unexpectedly flooded into her apartment building - but she had cat food, drinking water, food, flashlights etc. to last until she could get out three days later.
