So Hurricane Irene’s going to mess everything up in New York tomorrow and guess what? My family is very poorly prepared for it. We have nothing to board up our windows. We live in Manhattan. We live on the Lower East Side aka an area below sea level. We live in Zone A which has a mandatory evacuation thing going on right now. We are not leaving. LOL my life. I am going to die.
