Ike Is Closing In And TV Reporters Are Going Crazy

by golbguru on September 12, 2008

It’s probably just a few more hours before we lose electric power, and have trees flying around. I don’t know long it will be before we have electricity back up, so I just thought of dropping a line here.

If you don’t have anything better to do, follow the eye of the storm closely and you would be able to zero in on my current geographical location.

Anyways, about TV reporters - man, those guys get so animated (even when other people in background are going about peacefully doing whatever they are doing). Interestingly, this afternoon, one of them even suggested this as a part of “survival tips for hurricane”:

People who use electric toothbrush should buy manual ones, and people who use electric shaving machines should get manual ones …

Ha ha.. I couldn’t stop laughing. :)

The only other funnier thing I heard this week was some other reporter dude suggesting that the CERN Particle Accelerator/Collider may create a black hole that would destroy the earth!

We’ve been talking about the recreation of the Big Bang in 28 days (and counting) at work; there’ve been a lot of jokes about what we still have to accomplish before it happens! :)

Hope you’ll weather the storm okay. I am always amazed at the number of people who don’t realize that an electric toothbrush still works when the power is out… you just have to move your hand! rofl

On the other hand, it is sad that there are still people who know a big storm is coming and don’t plan ahead even to have extra clean water and food that can be eaten with cooking…

I hope you all are ok. Take care, and be safe.

Hope all is well as the storm passes. Yeah, electric razors, I used on when I drove, convienent, but not usefull in a black out.
You also heard about hackers getting to one of the computers to LCH at CERN right?

Stay safe…

Hope you managed to ride out the storm alright. Great tips on surviving a hurricane (I needed a good chuckle).

We are fine after the hurricane… except probably some mental damage due to the lack of water last week (just kidding).

Nice! I was in Hannah but that wasn’t nearly as bad as Ike, glad you made it out alive!
