  • 11:57 Woman on ABC interviewing residents on A/B border, finding who plans to evacuate. Sounds like an even split. :D #
  • 11:57 Sorry, CBS. #
  • 12:01 @Julie_Butcher Yup! I’m sitting on my couch, watching the news coverage on CBS! #
  • 12:01 Residents discover the appeal of candles, in the absence of flashlights. t.co/DOGEqB6 #
  • 12:05 Bought a cooler/ice. I don’t care about 90% of my fridge contents, but if Irene destroys my Mara’s Homemade gumbo stash, we will have WORDS. #
  • 12:05 @ljredeye No, I’m posting from my apartment! #
  • 12:06 I’m back in my apartment, folks! I’m posting photos I took earlier today. #

  • 13:20 @cerebralcutlass Nope, but there are definite perks! I’m very happy with our arrangement. #

  • 13:35 @jbkuma It was Lisa’s doing. It’s all above board. :D #
  • 13:48 @G2Hutton NYC #
  • 13:48 @MatthewRasins No royalty checks. The photos were given to a friend at a news agency in gratitude for favors past and future. :D #
  • 14:45 HELLO, RAIN! It went from clear to torrential in about twenty seconds! #
  • 14:46 RT @jbkuma: Irene’s profile on OKCupid t.co/v8l8DdC #
  • 14:47 @byharryconnolly Unfollowed! Quick, take a screenshot so I can re-follow you! #
  • 15:01 @byharryconnolly @fredhicks Re-follow’d! #
  • 15:36 @theliz13 I’ve offered them to a friend who works in the news. One of them has been picked up! I’ll post a link later. #
  • 16:23 @KevinHearne Yeah, there are already three ratings on @longshotauthor’s COLD DAYS, averaging 4 stars. Jim has written exactly one sentence. #
  • 16:23 @KevinHearne People on the internet make me want to headdesk a lot. #
  • 16:26 Mom chides me for the gluten content of sandwiches as hurricane survival food. THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR THIS AND IT IS NOT NOW. #
  • 16:32 I’m sorry I was too busy trying to find flashlights and batteries and bottled water to stop by Whole Foods for some quinoa, Mother. #
  • 16:36 @soundcolorlife No love for Zone B? Aww, Trendfail. Word to my neighbors and people unsure if they should evacuate or not! #
  • 17:30 @ENDvy Never underestimate the power of Twitte r! #
  • 18:23 @Dark_Puck The hell? Tweets from NY do not prevent tweets from VA and NC. We have every right to express our concern and prepare ourselves. #
  • 18:24 @Dark_Puck If you don’t like my NY-Irene tweets, put together a list of all the non-NYers tweeting about Irene and ignore all else. #
  • 18:30 @byharryconnolly I’m wearing my Talent Pipes for precisely that reason! And my zombie shirt because, well, zombies. #
  • 19:23 What do you mean, "cartographed" is not a word? It makes p erfect sense to me! Stupid English. #
  • 19:39 @Dark_Puck Huh. I’m watching CBS’ NYC-local affiliate, and they’re showing a balance of NY, NJ, NC, VA, and elsewhere. #
  • 21:14 How awesome is Rory? Really, really awesome. #doctorwhorricane #
  • 21:25 CBS Reporter: "Now, not everyone has a boat…" #
  • 21:30 I think I have exhausted my supply of hurricane excitement. Now I’m just bored. It’s barely evident it’s raining here. #irennui #
  • 21:34 I think I need to bring back the Hurricane P laylist! In honor of NJ & DE, let’s start with Neko Case’s "This Tornado Loves You." #
  • 21:59 @elrond25 It hasn’t really hit yet. The rain is pretty tame. #
  • 22:43 @jbkuma I’m not isolated, though! This could be any other Saturday night in, ever! I have the internet and power and everything! #
  • 23:14 @gillyperkygoth @Esperacchius HUZZAH! #
  • 23:22 @byharryconnolly Won’t that skew your sales numbers, though? #HarryCForNYT #
  • 23:30 Turned down the lights, turned off the A/C, and opened the window a crack, so I am at least aware it is raining. #
  • 23:31 It’s barely even sprinkling here. Most disappointing hurricane ever. #
  • 23:34 @myyrdneopia Ah! I thought the main storm was supposed to get to NYC around 8pm. That makes sense. #
  • 23:35 @myyrdneopia Cool. I’ll just go to sleep, then. Emotionally exhausted. #
  • 23:37 Bedtime for Cellies. Night, all! #
  • 23:39 @SheckyX Oh, absolutely. Gotta keep all safety precautions in place, just in case. #

  • 08:40 @PrarthnaSri It’s a mystery. @longshotauthor’s editor was looking into it, but something must be halting her progress. I’ll inquire again. #
  • 08:42 @muppetK @longshotauthor I submit that Alan Tudyk would make a brilliant Toot-toot. #
  • 09:59 .@audible_com thinks I "may enjoy" the Codex Alera and the Iron Druid series. I wonder where they got that idea? #
  • 10:02 @PrarthnaSri Just so I know what to tell @longshotauthor’s editor, are you having trouble with all Dresden books or just Ghost Story? #
  • 10:10 @byharryconnolly Enjoy! Man, now I want to reread again… #
  • 10:29 @muppetK We should! I’m planning a big bowling event for local Butcher fans sometime in the next month or so. You should come! #
  • 10:31 My #fridayreads is HEXED by @KevinHearne in dead tree format and OLD MAN’S WAR by @scalzi in my earholes. #

  • 13:44 So… looks like I’m going to have to decide tonight whether I’m go ing to evacuate. I’ll probably stay, as the storm will be a category 1. #
  • 13:51 @jeditigger I live in Alphabet City in Zone B, right on the border of Zone A. Second floor. #
  • 13:51 @boymonster I haven’t! What’s it about? #
  • 13:53 Holy crap. Bloomberg is requiring a mandatory evacuation for Zone A. /Technically/ I live in Zone B, but I live right on the border… #
  • 15:01 The four stores I visited were out of flashlights, batteries, and candles. So I found a place I knew had candles. t.co/pfa9S9I #
  • 15:44 @NYTMetro I’m just on the B side of the Zone A/B border in Alphabet City. While evac is not mandatory for B, is it recommended? #ireneqanda #
  • 17:55 RT @NYTLive: Will cell coverage hold up during the hurricane? nyti.ms/q1I5tG #irene // AT&T doesn’t work when there’s NOT a hurricane. #
  • 18:23 @Julie_Butcher Yup! All public transportation will shut down tomorrow at noon! #
  • 19:10 Checked my apartment’s elevation on Google Earth. The likelihood that the storm surge will get within a BLOCK of me is less than 5%. #
  • 19:49 There is no question what I will be drinking at Theresa’s farewell party tonight! t.co/2ZhwzYN #
  • 20:09 Yum! t.co/942JPTa #
  • 21:36 @Julie_Butcher @jeditigger Did you miss the part where the chances of the surge getting anywhere near me were <5%? #
  • 23:32 Roommate also bought water: a crate of bottles to match my two gallon jugs. And he has a flashlight to accompany my… menorah. #
  • 23:37 @soundcolorlife The stores were out of flashlights and candles! I improvised! :D #
  • 23:39 @soundcolorlife Get lots of water, then! A gallon per person per day. #
  • 23:56 @longshotauthor "It’s a million-to-one chance! We can’t possibly be in danger!" #
