Frankenstorm, A.K.A. that attention whore, Sandy

Do you know what’s worse than a tropical storm turned hurricane?  A hurricane that’s expected to be bigger and more severe.  And do you know what’s worse than that?  A “perfect storm” before Halloween.  Everything is scarier on Halloween, so everyone is thinking that it’ll be like Katrina with zombies.  You could believe that the storm is added on by restless spirits, since Halloween is the time where the barrier between the living and the dead is weakened.  Or you could believe it’s the wrath of a God who wants to cancel Halloween and piss on our Cheerios.  And we’re the Cheerios. 

But the way I see it, storms these days that come up to New England end up being nothing but a fluke.  I remember junior high years back was cancelled due to a hurricane.  I get up that morning, clear and sunny skies.  Like a typical attention whore who cries wolf, why should we take the media says so seriously anymore?  All they want is the attention to fill their shallow egos and getting a rise out of it.  But whatever you believe, look outside today and see for yourself.  Even though NE doesn’t get as many bad storms as the south, it can still happen

So my advice to you folks in NE riding the storm, ignore the media, listen to state advisories, and prepare for power outages and/or flooding.   It’s as Her Majesty’s officials say, “keep calm and brace for Frankenstorm.”
