| berndj | hello azonenberg, you're NYish aren't you? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| berndj | is sally turning out to be real or is it another irene? | 00:13 |
| azonenberg | berndj: I'm upstate near albany | 00:13 |
| azonenberg | We just got power back | 00:13 |
| azonenberg | went down like two hours ago | 00:13 |
| azonenberg | And what do you mean, another irene? | 00:14 |
| azonenberg | When Irene hit here, half of downtown was five feet underwater | 00:14 |
| berndj | oh! i thought it was like that xkcd... forgot the number | 00:17 |
| azonenberg | Maybe in some places | 00:20 |
| berndj | you're not exactly in NYC though, right? | 00:23 |
| azonenberg | Not even close | 00:25 |
| azonenberg | 200 miles upstream | 00:25 |
| azonenberg | about 1/4 mile or so east of the river, it's a fairly low-lying area though | 00:25 |
| azonenberg | i think i'm 30 feet above river level or so | 00:25 |
| azonenberg | My floor is, that is | 00:26 |
| azonenberg | sorry, i meant my street | 00:26 |
| berndj | i'm about 7m above sea level, but i'm also 15km away from the coast | 00:27 |
| azonenberg | i'm more like 1km from the river | 00:28 |
| berndj | if/when you get flooded, is it just because of craploads of rain, or something on a bigger scale like storm surges going up the river? | 00:28 |
| azonenberg | I have never been flooded here | 00:33 |
| azonenberg | downtown it's usually been just rain | 00:33 |
