Grex Agora46 Conference

Item 227: Everybody Talks About the Weather

Entered by krj on Wed Sep 17 04:52:45 2003:

I don't think we started a weather item this summer: it never got 
hot enough to complain about.  But a few Grexers might have 
reports on Hurricane Isabel.

We need a good deal of rain.  September has been very dry (this is Plymouth,
Michigan I'm referring to), and the grass has been suffering.

/me thinks about a storm that covers whole US States and goes to hide under
the bed.

Take your personal flotation device with you.

Fortunately, I shan't need it, as I'm in the UK. Thanks anyway though.
(Doesn't everybody know this by now?)

So why are you going to hide under your bed because of the storm?

The rains and the winds are really picking up here.  My employer closed down
operations both today and tomorrow.  It's a real mess.

At least you got a 4 day weekend :P

I love big storms. When I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade I walked home
through a hurricane. It was great. I got soaking wet, trees were
crashing down....however my mother had driven to the school to pick
me up, so I got into a little trouble at home.  Of course, I didn't
own any property to get damaged at that age, either.

I'm hiding because of the thought of the size of the storm. Remeber, to a
Brit, the USA is bloody huge, and the idea of a storm that covers whole States
is almost incomprehensible to us - particularly those who've never been there.
If I'm not mistaken, the US alone is (even just counting the 48 States that
are coterminous) bigger than Europe.

Syracuse has been mostly unaffected by Isabel.  We got some rain, and 
some wind.  Not even all that much, really.  There may still be more 
coming.

We got lots of rain last night, anmd it's a little cooler today. But it's
supposed to clear up before the end of the day

Re #9: The storm isn't covering the whole U.S., though.  It's only a few
hundred miles wide.

Yeah, and even if it was, what he said still wouldn't make any sense.  It
sounded to me like he was just making up bullshit reasons.

Bullshit reasons.

I haven't really been following which states the storm is covering, but many
of the Eastern US states are pretty small.  I came to the conclusion while
spending some time on the East Coast a couple months ago that Northeastern
US states are roughly equivalent geographically to California counties.

#18 of 21 by twenex on Sun Sep 21 01:21:27 2003:

Not "the whole OF the States", "whole States" as in "not just a part of
one/some States, but all of many".

#19 of 21 by dah on Sun Sep 21 04:37:42 2003:

Listen, I'm REALLY smelly right now.  I'm not sure what caused it and I'm even
less sure how to cure it.  Any ideas?

#20 of 21 by slynne on Sun Sep 21 21:19:58 2003:

A bath?
