There were the same lights with the quake and tsunami in Japan..near the nuclear site...if you check the net images or YouTube.

Oh great I saw that. How long do I have?

Tons and tons of fire engines zooming through NE Philly right now.

How high are tsunami waves?

Lemme tell ya I so knew that sonic boom was serious. I knew it was connected to the sonic boom in the Bay Area. So, big whoop I didn't prepare.

Looking for BD to get home.

Some of us have heard of the Philadelphia experiment, sounds like some experimenting is still going on there.

Allegedly, in the fall of 1943 a U.S. Navy destroyer was made invisible and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk, Virginia, in an incident known as the Philadelphia Experiment. Records in the Operational Archives Branch of the Naval Historical Center have been repeatedly searched, but no documents have been located which confirm the event, or any interest by the Navy in attempting such an achievement.

Indeed, Peliman.

Couple that with The Aberdeen Proving Grounds and well..............

Honestly, I linked to that "sonic boom" a ways back. It was last Saturday. People in Ocean City, Sea Isle, AC and on and on felt it. Since when does the military do those kind of exercises over Ocean City, New Jersey? Never!!!!!! This isn't Virginia Beach!

Rambling like a mad woman I know, but..............plus on the 18th San Fran had the boom. Meteor?

Jay Zimmerman writes, "We just attempted to rescue 3 people from a house in North Beach and were unsuccessful due the the rapid ocean water. We had to drive away listening to there screams for help. It tore my heart out. The ocean is pouring into the bay from 70th street in Harvey Cedars to atleast surf city. We turned back there. There were cars, entire decks, sheds and contents of houses flowing into the bay. I have never seen anything like it in my life and I'm glad we all got back safely. It was a crazy ride. Pictures to come at daylight."

Blue Dolphin Phone Home like ET. Well us.

Where is the President? If he's in Denver, Colorado we're doomed.

That airport creeps me out although no murals of hurricanes.

He flew from FL back to DC, I think.

 

[Ozark~Mnt~Miss]

I am nearly in the middle of the country and this is scaring me ....... you all take care!!!! Please be safe!!! Blue, please use extreme caution!

 

[Filly]

O/T totally, but I always confuse the Philadelphia Experiments as in the Holmesburg Prison "experiment" detailed in "Acres Of Skin".

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

powering down for now. Will be leaving in about a half an hour for home. Will check in when I can.

[not_my_kids]

I hope I didn't scare anyone by announcing earlier that I had to drive to Detroit in our little windstorm (okay, huge wind monster), and then disappearing. I'm alive, LOL. The dentist finished all the reconstruction work on my bottom teeth and then pulled one of the ones that hurts me the most. Which is why I fell asleep in he backseat of my truck and didn't wake up until about 10 minutes ago.

The winds are absolutely howling in MI, I couldn't imagine being in her way as she came ashore. Everybody else seem to be holding up okay?

 

[scorekeeper]

NYU hospital is being evacuated

Con-ed 670,000 without power - high winds responsible for 300,000 and the rest due to explosion at 14th street substation and the area shut down manually - won't be electric anywhere from 4 or more days
