That's it... I'm moving to Saskatchewan.

First, an earthquake in BC then one of the worst hurricanes on the east coast.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, lets not go crazy here...just move to Calgary. The weather hasn't been that bad that you'd have to move to Saskatchewan

But there's only a three-way safety zone of goodness. If I lived in Calgary when things get buck, I can't go west because there's a giant wall of rock.

In Saskatchewan there's a good four-way safety buffer zone.

Obviously hard to say where random internet pictures came from... but this guy on reddit says this came smashing through his house 20 minutes ago.

Tags for size, safe for work.

Jesus christ, stay safe if you're in this area.

CNN keeps flashing a picture-in-picture of that crane dangling from the building under construction. Whenever they do I quickly glance over and think, the Daleks have finally taken Manhattan.

Wonder how Pierre McGuire is getting on. He sounded like a nervous wreck late afternoon on the radio from his home as he recalled the damage Irene did to his property and that the signs were already there that this one was already much bigger and hadn't hit them in full force yet. Was out with his neighbours clearing trees off the road for the ems.

On the bright side he had the opportunity to use the word monster several times.

Gusty here in Ottawa, we're getting the middle which is the weakest part.

I just spent two minutes on twitter and saw a transformer explode and a torrent of water rushing into the ground zero construction site. I'm afraid to look any more. ####'s going down in NYC.

Yeah, holy ####.

MrMastadon just posted that picture of what looks like a small shark or large catfish in the water, then I turn to ol' Ali there up to his waist in water.

Where is everyone getting their footage from? CNN?

My brother in Jersey says his entire neighbourhood just lost power and winds were horrendous. His cellphone was running out of juice so he had to hang up in case of emergency. Hope things don't get too much worse.

I am interested to see how see shoehorns her appearance on Conan O'Brien into her coverage.

I haven't seen an episode of Conan in 4+years but I am sure I have seen every minute of her interview on the show just by watching 5 minutes of her show on CNN a night.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I'm watching the webcam of Times Square right now and it looks NOTHING like that image of the World Trade Centre in terms of rainfall.
