Mayor Bloomberg Tells Newyorkers To Prepare For Evacuation

Anyone living in New York may want to read this Bloomberg article as it is important stuff, unlike anything coming out of Jim Cramer, who told everyone an hour ago that "this is a turning point, Buffett's bailout marks the beginning of a massive multiday short-covering rally in the financials" - naturally the XLF is about to turn red.

Hurricane Irene May Require NYC Evacuations, Bloomberg Says

New York officials preparing for Hurricane Irene will decide tomorrow whether to call for the evacuation of low-lying areas in downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

The decision would be based on the strength, path and speed of the storm, Bloomberg told reporters today at a news conference in a flood-prone section of Queens. The city would offer “an enormous shelter system” for those without a place to stay on higher ground, he said.

“We don’t have enough information yet to make that call,”
Bloomberg said. “The timing is a bit up in the air, as it is with all these things. Sometime on Friday, late in the day. How many depends on how severe we think the storm is going to be.”

The mayor has the power to issue an executive order to force people to move, which he said he would do only in the “worst circumstances.”

Irene, the strongest Atlantic storm to threaten the U.S.
since 2005, battered the Bahamas today with 113 mph winds on a course that’s expected to take it near North Carolina this weekend and New England next week. Only five hurricanes on record dating to 1851 have tracked within 75 miles of New York City, the most recent being Gloria in 1985, according to the National Weather Service.

City officials are planning for a storm with winds of at least 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour) accompanied by heavy rain, the mayor said. They expect the brunt of the storm to cross mid-Long Island, on the border of Nassau and Suffolk counties, to the east of the city, he said.

                            ‘Go-Bags’
                               
He advised residents to prepare “go-bags” containing water, non-perishable food, medications, important papers and extra house and car keys in the event officials declare the storm dangerous enough to evacuate. The areas affected include lower Manhattan, southeast Queens, Brooklyn’s beach communities including Coney Island and coastal areas of Staten Island, Bloomberg said.

The Police Department has 50 small boats to use in the event of floods. Sanitation crews are cleaning leaves and refuse from storm sewers and moving equipment to higher ground.
Hospitals have checked their emergency power generators, stocks of medicine and other supplies.

Bloomberg better evacuate NYC and close down all stock exchanges tomorrow, cause when Ben takes the podium at Jackson Hole tomorrow, we are going to have a systemic collapse of global markets.

Well for the people that like to read ZH on Lunch at work this type of content can get the site blocked.

As well if the site is deemed to have adult content in Google searches ZH will not show up until you have parent guard turned off. (note that google has this option enable as a default.) 98% of people searching will not be able to ZH content.

So the benefits of such a image is not outweighed by the fact that it will eventually make ZH harder to find, and be blocked altogether from places of employment.

So use an approiate image...

Aruba-du, ruba-tu, ruba-tu. I was thinking about the curse words and the swear words, the cuss words and the words that you can't say, that you're not supposed to say all the time, [']cause words or people into words want to hear your words. Some guys like to record your words and sell them back to you if they can, (laughter) listen in on the telephone, write down what words you say. A guy who used to be in Washington, knew that his phone was tapped, used to answer, Fuck Hoover, yes, go ahead. (laughter) Okay, I was thinking one night about the words you couldn't say on the public, ah, airwaves, um, the ones you definitely wouldn't say, ever, [']cause I heard a lady say bitch one night on television, and it was cool like she was talking about, you know, ah, well, the bitch is the first one to notice that in the litter Johnie right (murmur) Right. And, uh, bastard you can say, and hell and damn so I have to figure out which ones you couldn't and ever and it came down to seven but the list is open to amendment, and in fact, has been changed, uh, by now, ha, a lot of people pointed things out to me, and I noticed some myself. The original seven words were, shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits. Those are the ones that will curve your spine, grow hair on your hands and (laughter) maybe, even bring us, God help us, peace without honor (laughter) um, and a bourbon. (laughter) And now the first thing that we noticed was that word fuck was really repeated in there because the word motherfucker is a compound word and it's another form of the word fuck. (laughter) You want to be a purist it doesn't really--it can't be on the list of basic words. Also, cocksucker is a compound word and neither half of that is really dirty. The word--the half sucker that's merely suggestive (laughter) and the word cock is a half-way dirty word, 50% dirty--dirty half the time, depending on what you mean by it. (laughter) Uh, remember when you first heard it, like in 6th grade, you used to giggle. And the cock crowed three times, heh (laughter) the cock--three times. It's in the Bible, cock in the Bible. (laughter) And the first time you heard about a cock-fight, remember--What? Huh? naw. It ain't that, are you stupid? man. (laughter, clapping) It's chickens, you know, (laughter) Then you have the four letter words from the old Angle-Saxon fame. Uh, shit and fuck. The word shit, uh, is an interesting kind of word in that the middle class has never really accepted it and approved it. They use it like, crazy but it's not really okay. It's still a rude, dirty, old kind of gushy word. (laughter) They don't like that, but they say it, like, they say it like, a lady now in a middle-class home, you'll hear most of the time she says it as an expletive, you know, it's out of her mouth before she knows. She says, Oh shit oh shit, (laughter) oh shit. If she drops something, Oh, the shit hurt the broccoli. Shit. Thank you. (footsteps fading away) (papers ruffling)

NYC and NJ - a lot of the communications infrastructure is below street level and did not exist the last time a really large storm surge hit.

In 1921 a 13 foot surge flooded all of lower Manhattan.

[sodbuster]

Nice boobies!!

[DormRoom]

given that 6 sigma events are more common (thanks to  the Large Hadron Collider distorting  how the wave function collapses) , Irene will likely devastate NYC

[Bring the Gold]

Can you translate the wave function collapsing link to Large Hadron Collider? Are you serious or kidding? It's just an interesting comment even if it's ultra-nerd humor.

[Flakmeister]

File it under nerd humor...

You have a pretty good chance of connecting Irene to a coal fired power plant in Texas....

Hey, nerdmeister--we were talking about 3 D printers.  Check this shit out:

[Bob]

Not meaning to be rude, Flakmeister, just breezily engaging.  Ah, the world--that would seem to be the big question. 

[Oh regional Indian]

Forget Nerd humor BtG, think about the temporal connect between the rash of 6 (and beyond) sigma events and the much delayed start of the LHC. i know the whole causality does not imply etc.... but it is quite stunning.

Especially large earth/weather events. And, because we live in a fractal world, all th eother 6 sigma stuff in terms of wars and collapses and the like. The LHC is definitely part of th emix. Never befre handled/generated energies, failing systems..... quite the recepie for disaster.

You obviously have no idea what yu just regurgitated. Pretending to be smart around smart people will only further embarras you.

[Flakmeister]

Highest energy density collider is RHIC at Brookhaven.... the goal of which is to recreate and study the quark-gluon plasma....

At max luminosity, the LHC will have about ~25 collisions every 26 ns (I may be off slightly, been a while since I did any LHC related stuff)... effective maximum CoM energy between consituents is about 10 TeV (and those will be very rare

Pinched from Wiki:

The first observation of a cosmic ray with an energy exceeding 1.0×10²⁰ eV (~15 J) was made by John Linsley and Livio Scarsi at the Volcano Ranch experiment in New Mexico in 1962.^[1][2]

Cosmic rays with even higher energies have since been observed. Among them was the Oh-My-God particle observed on the evening of 15 October 1991 over Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. Its observation was a shock to astrophysicists, who estimated its energy to be approximately 3×10²⁰ eV^[3](50 joules)—in other words, a subatomic particle with kinetic energy equal to that of a baseball (142 g or 5 oz) traveling at 100 km/h (60 mph). It was most probably a proton with a speed very close to the speed of light, so close, in fact, [(1 ? 5×10^?24) × c], that in a year-long race between light and the cosmic ray, the ray would fall behind only 46 nanometers (5×10^?24light-years), or 0.15 femtoseconds (1.5×10^?16 s).^[4]

The energy of this particle is some 40 million times that of the highest energy protons that can currently be produced in any particle accelerator. However only a small fraction of this energy would be available for an interaction with a proton or neutron on Earth, with most of the energy remaining in the form of kinetic energy of the products of the interaction. The effective energy available for such a collision is the square root of double the product of the particle's energy and the mass energy of the proton, which for this particle gives 7.5×10¹⁴ eV, roughly 50 times the collision energy of the Large Hadron Collider.

Since the first observation, by the University of Utah's Fly's Eye Cosmic Ray Detector, at least fifteen similar events have been recorded, confirming the phenomenon. These very high energy cosmic rays are very rare; the energy of most cosmic rays is between 10 MeV and 10 GeV 

As an aside, the name Fly's Eye made me want to build an experiment to do a precision measurement (1 part in 10^5) of pion beta decay.... the name would be Gnat's Ass.

[Bob]

Now that's amazing.  Perhaps Jimmy Hoffa caught one of those.  Or its big brother.

That was the kewlest thing I read all day. Thanks!

what?

[Oh regional Indian]

It's all quite simple actually.

If you trade, I hope you understand fractals. The rest, as they say, is all dependent on your angle of repose! ;-)

[thesapein]

idiot

[DormRoom]

yes,.. discovery of the Higgs Boson occurs in low probability world history branches.  So each time the Large Hadron Collider searches for the discovery of it @ higher energy levels, it phases (wave function collapse) our world time-lines to these low probability world timelines. 

And it is in these timelines where greater 6 sigma events occur more frequently.  rare events like an earthquake in Virginia.  A hurricane dissemating NYC.  end of EMU.

[thesapein]

OMG, that is so funny.

[smore]

The Heart of Gold was the prototype ship for infinitely improbable travel. It is the infinite improbability drive in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that saves Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect from very probable death by asphyxiation in deep space after being thrown out of the Vogon ship; the improbable odds against being rescued being 2^2079460347 to one; the superscripted number incidentally being the telephone number of the Islington flat where Arthur went to a fancy dress party and first met Trillian. Incidentally, Adams explained in the annotated volume of the original radio scripts that it was the eviction of Arthur and Ford out the spacelock of the Vogon ship that led to his own "invention" of the Infinite Improbability Drive. Adams realised that he had worked the story into a dead end, thinking in frustration that the only solutions would be "infinitely improbable." In a flash of insight and what Adams called "mental jujitsu", the Infinite Improbability Drive was born.

In the third book, the Infinite Improbability Drive is discovered to be the Golden Bail of Prosperity in the Wikkit Gate. It is stolen by the white Krikkit robots; however, it was returned and the Heart of Gold returned to operational status.

Adams developed the notion of the improbability drive having greater causal (and narrative) effects in later books. For example: when Zaphod's great-grandfather discusses his great grandson's career-to-date he explains that he (Zaphod) cannot escape his destiny now the improbability field "controls you".

"Bernanke should avoid any suggestion the US central bank intends to pursue purchases of Treasury Bonds and instead use a much anticipated Friday speech to press for economic reforms."

Yep, I'm from Houston and remember watching all the idiots trying to leave before hurricane Rita made landfall. I've never seen anything like it. People died during the evacuation and the storm didn't even hit Houston. Unless you're below sea level, or in the path of the storm surge, it's best to shelter in place.

As is demonstrated by a wealth of historical examples, every form of fanaticism, every dogma and every type of compulsive one-sidedness is finally overthrown by precisely those elements which it has itself repressed, suppressed, or ignored. —Erich Neumann

That has nothing to do with tits, of course.

If your friends don't love tits you need new friends !

[Bring the Gold]

I love 'em too, but it does seem a tad exclusionary to many.

It's the Wall Street culture bleeding in here. I'm surprised there are no pictures of 8-balls being hashed out into lines.

[Spastica Rex]

I saw a balls avatar the other day. Not pretty.

[Bring the Gold]

Yeah LMAO long balls, short brains. That one had me laughing for a good 15 minutes. I hope it was a woman's avatar. Revenge is an ugly wrinkly thing. :)

Just advise them to avoid the peanut gallery that is the comments section.

[Doubleguns]

I missed the ass. Please provide directions!!!

+1 lol

Heartily agree. Would hate to see Tyler & Co wasting time "policing" a free-thought fight club for decency. I come here for one fix, reckon I should be able to find pictures of "boobs" somewhere online - although google reports the following

from http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=boobs&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:of...

Your search - boobs - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

• Try different keywords.

C'mon gals and guys

Not that any of this is truly relevant, but the size restriction on the avatar pic size was likely chosen to get around this very limitation. Also likely part of the reason ZHers can't be trusted to post their pics in the comments (except contributors).

Google with moderate Safe Search has no problem finding this page. Google with STRICT (text + images) Safe Search also returns this and a host of other ZH pages (which I am sure have banned words in them).

Chill out, scroll past the images you find 'offensive' and focus your ire on the TRULY offensive crap out there, being highlighted daily courtesy of TD and crew.

lol

I'm chilled, really :) and yes, its the really offensive hardcore stuff that Tyler & Co post that keep me cumming back for more lol

[Jonas Parker]

You would pwefer pictures of Bawney Fwank's butt, maybe?

[Dr. Engali]

If it wasn't so tragic this would be fun to watch.

Does GOLD float.....just wonderin.....

[Transitory Disi...]

That is what chevez is thinking RIGHT NOW

[knukles]

Chavez?  He owns the stuff whether at $0 or $Bazillion.
Who has the problem with price is the Grey Lady of Threadneedle St. (BoE) since she's got to make physical delivery OUTSIDE the LBMA system which is a "show me the fucking bar" deal.  No receipts, due bills, notes that the dog ate the crap.  And probably'll be assayed, so none of them fucking Tungsten Salted Bars.

Thus the bear raid of all bear raids taking place in the Gold Market.  Who'd a thunk that crazy fucker Hugo would be the long gold's best friend?  BoE via others (JPM, HSBC ?) slamming the market to cover the short....

Even more telling.

Hugo gives notice for physical delivery.
All of a sudden the Libyan conflict is settled. (They have 140+ tons of the shit or some such number.)
Rumors abound that Libya's trying to sell some 90 tons or so.
(Well fuck me said the blind man, BoE is short physical to meet a delivery demand that cannot be ignored, Anglo-American soldiers of the Anglo-American banking cartel just happen to be in the Neighborhood of Tripoli to Liberate the Libyan gold for Humanitarian Purposes)   LOL.... Fuck me!
BoE's physical short covered.......
Hugo gets physical delivery.
Nothing to see here, move along....
Ponzi perpetuated another day....

As a matter of fact I've seen gold float in my gold pan. Small "chips" will float. They pick up oil off your fingers and hand. You have to tap your pan on a hard surface such as a boulder and they sink.... It's usually what is refered to as flour gold or flood gold.

if the hurricane hits ny etc the yanks will survive. when ike hit houston my family was without power for two (14 days) weeks ...... in september. ever tried living in houston without a/c for two weeks in the summertime? i packed the wife off to cooler climes, and gutted it out. lost 12 (twelve) pounds doing repairs, cleaning up tons of tree branches etc ...

people are good to go for a week without electricity, or with only a generator, which btw is .... LOUD. then once friendly neighbors begin to get grouchy.

if it hits the yanks will survive.
