You know life sucks when you gotta work in a hurricane.For anybody who's in the path of Irene I urge you as an EMT to stay home or at a designated shelter.

Raven, I wish you the best of luck. We just got blown past Irene a few days ago and I just made it out with a cracked iPhone screen and some tossed around pieces of metal. Others weren't as lucky.

Prepare z'em battery packs, Radios and First Aid kits. Stay indoors, keep all animals locked in safe cages and have plenty of canned food for emergencies. That's all I can say.

Use your local radio stations and internet to get updates.As far as your work is concerned let management handle that.If you're uncomfortable with going during the storm call and let supervisors /management know.

Having been through a number of hurricanes before I know they aren't a joke. Stay safe out there Bloodraven.

Its moments like this I'm glad I live in-land. Unfortunately, and this is meant as a joke, that you guys are lucky bastards to have so much rain.

That's so true Rune. When's the last time we even got rain hear?

I my self have never been in a hurricane but I have been in flashfloods, Softball size hail, a tornado, and my house almost got stuck by lightning. So I know things go bad fast im stuff like this and truly hope that all those people caught in the hurricane's path will be okay.

Yes, I agree that a hurricane is a natural disaster, and I would'nt wish any kind of ill fate to befall the people on the east coast.

rune where i live its mostly the winds we deal with so alot of the time i joke i going to go fly a kite... o3o.... but i think this is the first one to make it this far as a hurricane... but is it sad all i can think of is the song rock you like a hurricane.

So far 15 people are dead through out the North East.Thankfully I only had to deal with people with minor injuries.

Kinda dissapointed, all the hype and preparation of irene in ny... and we got barely anything.

So glad me and dad saw nothing really happening and didnt waste resources.

you can say that is is over kill but think back about katrina and New Orleans.

the government of the USA failled big time then and still the city and surounding places aren't been repaired 100%

so it's better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best

Well it's lucky for me that I'm living on an island out of reach of the hurricane.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Rikardo, I think being on an island puts you even more at risk unless of course its an island in the middle of a massive lake inland.

Then I can't say with any certainty what kind of weather conditions you have then.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 04 Jul 2011 Posts: 1665

Island weather? Lol

Heh, in Hawaii, they are often the first people to get hit by a hurricane.

That or anywhere in the Caribbean and Cuba

Living in England, I don't think we've ever had a natural disaster, or not since I've been alive. I worry for everyone on here, because I know a lot of you are from the US, and you could be hit by the hurricane. I hope you all come out of it safely..
