Hurricane Sandy On Collision-course with AB

[AB Editor]

For those that don't know, AB is hosted in New Jersey. So if your computer starts leaking water, it's probably come through the AB server and down the pipes to you :)

Naturally, our hosting facility is top notch, water-tight and probably a submarine... so there's unlikely to be anything to worry about.

EDIT: This post is not intended to make light of anyone who may be in trouble during this horrible event.

It'll be a right state tomorrow Mark.

I think that it's time to get the ark out :)

Have you caught a banana or is it the bait?

This is good ^^

[AB Editor]

That's the bait :)

[murraymints]

does that mean we get a say in us election ?lol

[Nibble]

Ah! We pays our $$$$ and take our chances then, Ed??


I've got a spare sandbag if that's any use:)

[Barmaid]

Right, I've covered the lappy in a plastic bag and am about to get in the bath with a tin hat on. Anything else I should do?

[AB Editor]

I think we're safe. Just letting everyone know that there is a small chance something could go wrong, and this could be one reason why!

[Nibble]

Ok, then it's just in case the esteemed App Ed (apprentice ed) is left in charge, then??

Couldn't we leave him in charge of m-answerbank.co.uk, he's less of a danger there.

Don't think our lifeboat will quite reach New Jersey unless we can recruit some ab'ers as galley slaves.

For those interested, this is the best tracking site for the hurricane and the one used by Oil Cos and even the military.....

Current forecast is N Delaware/S Jersey passing into Pennsylvania but remember, for those of you who have not been in a huurricane, the east side of the storm is the "dirty" side with sustained winds 10-15 mph higher than the quoted average and the west side the "clean" side with winds 10-15 mph less....

The winds on this storm are not that severe but the concern is the length of being battered and the ground becoming soaking wet - and then when it (the eye) goes through, the winds then turn and batter the trees from the other direction and down they come......then there is the expected storm surge for the coasts and, inland (west and north), where the storm comes up against the cold weather, 10-12 inches of snow expected.

[AB Editor]

I think, even then Seadogg, we might not get there in time.

Sayreville is at an average elevation of 140 ft above sea level so it would have to be a flood of biblical proportions to be flooded. However, it won't be far from the eye of the storm.

that, baldric, needs submitting on the Apotheosis thread!

Nice to see the App Ed is on site ready to repel the forces of nature

I know what you mean AB - my hubby's companys servers are all based in the US as well, for the same reason.

[Smowball]

Ab Editor, I mean! lol

It's snowing in the Christmas section so what happens in the spring when it thaws?

[Baldric]

I think I've been Grinched, I click on the Christmas section and all I get is a blank page!
