I don't know mutombo, but I'm sure you hope that things will work out better than worse for people there, right?

Yes, and Tribecca and the West Village. How dumb these comments are.

h'burg,

I don't wish anyone to be flooded, I was looking for a special person to respond, but you know that.

It doesn't look like Williamsburg is in an evacuation zone, but it's hard to tell from this map.

oops -- sorry! Parts of Billyburg are most definitely in evac zones. This is a better map:

The Mayor has asked all Billyburg residents with those large earlobe inserts to report to the shore.
The idea is to string them all together to creat a barrier against the stort surge.
Mayor Bloomberg, at a city hall press confrence said, "at the very least they will be washed".

What happens to those Ubangi-style body modifications when the style has passed? Does that big hole gradually shrink, or do you just live with big loops of flesh hanging off your ears?
