Reel vs. Real

Ten years ago Jake and Austin were working





 on a  weather disaster movie  that was centered in New York.





Today its a real weather disaster  and New York is seriously feeling the effects.



 Cancellations, flooding stations, water in lower Manhattan, power outages all that is left is the wall of water and a boat.




Back then they were this talking about this

Now it's this


Causality of the weather:

New Eyes' evening event for Jake at Colicchio & Sons had to be rescheduled due to the Hurricane.

Oh my heart goes out to New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island all those along the east coast waking up this morning to devastation.

Special K said...

Tom, Destiny, Roma and anyone else in the NY,NJ,PA, CT,RI, DE area, hope you are safe and check in when you can.

Special K said...

Sass - let us know if you're ok.

Florida Tom said...

All is well but still no power.

Long windy noisy night.

Back home safe and sound. I consider myself very lucky. When I got to the airport yesterday for my flight home all but six flights were cancelled. My flight via Denver was one of the few still running. I hope all of you, Destiny, Tom, Roma and Special are all doing ok. That dangling crane is not too far from where we stayed while in NYC. We walked by it while sightseeing and knew exactly where it was when the news story came out.

destiny said...

We're fine. Luckily where we live on the Upper West Side wasn't affected by the water and we still have power. I haven't been out yet, I think the main damage in our area is trees down in the parks, which are still closed. Subways are still out, no word on when they'll be up, but bus service will start slowly rolling out this evening.

The power is out downtown, so Roma is without electricity, but is otherwise fine.

I guess this is going to be my day to catch up on the magazines that have been piling up.

Glad you made it home okay M, and glad to hear you're okay Special and Tom, and hoping for a quick return of your electricity.

Florida Tom said...

Thank God. My power is back on. I am starting to see the images from the shore. Looks pretty bad. The storm was a killer. Looking forward to putting this behind us.

Florida Tom said...

Wow! Just saw a video of that crane colapsing in NYC. That was scary. Just shows how hard those winds were blowing.

I hope you get yor power back soon Roma.

Glad to hear everyone else is ok.

Last night was so wierd without TV or internet. I am so dependent on them. I kept the phone off to avoid using up the power. The newer phones lose their charge so fast. Wound up going to bed at 8pm.
I was so happy to see daylight.

Florida Tom said...

Damn 29 known storm related deaths. Not good.

So weird seeing the NYC subway flooded. Incredible.

Florida Tom said...

Wow now over 39 storm related deaths:-(

Florida Tom said...

Looks like there are numerous flights from Austin, Texas to either NYC or Newark that connect in Dallas.

destiny said...

I'm not following the thinking on that tweet. For starters, the person talks about a flight back from the States? That makes it sound like an international flight.

Not to mention I'm pretty sure there were no flights yesterday in or out of the NYC area airports, and they may have started cutting back on Sunday night, I know they started shutting down all the trains then.

Plus they don't really expect flights to start up again until late tomorrow, entirely too late to make it back for the matinee show tomorrow.
