America, please pray for New York. Pray that the destruction isn't so great that the wifi goes out, preventing New Yorkers from constantly uploading their iPhone photos of said destruction. Pray that the television coverage is so myopically focused on New York's brunt of the storm that its citizens don't have to be bored with brief reminders of the other dozen states being drowned by Irene's wrath. And please, for the love of God, pray that the storm will hold off long enough to not put a damper on Sunday brunch plans. Amen. Let us know in the comments what you think may be missing from this list.

LOL @ NYC Refugee. Good luck trying to eat those Gucci handbags when TSHTF and you realize your self-made concentration camp is utterly dependent on the outside for food and water.

@NYC Refugee,
Can you actually fit all that pretentious shit in the 62 square-foot, overpriced rat's nest you call an apartment? Pussies. When it floods in my town, we go swimming. -

1. Buy candles in anticipation of power outage
2. Get condoms and bikini wax in anticipation of candle-lit hurricane sex

Check to see which take-out places will DEFINITELY be open regardless of the weather - and confirm that they deliver.

Hilariously accurate - I'm curious how many "other-than-urbanites" know off tne top of their heads what a"french press" is? Hint:K-cup

Jen | 08/27/2011 flag |
well we are in Maine and have live all over Hurricane prone states we bougght our usual 56 or so bottles of water checked to make sure there's ravioli and spam for the kids chips salsa slim jims jerky etc etc oh and mints and "brush ups" in case we can't brush our teeth lol the same stuff we have around in case we get a thunderstorm lol it loses power after it hits the ground and the ocean is 1.5 hours away! the manhattanites may want at least a propane torch for the water for the french press though! lol

Rejoice at free parking and refuse to evacuate on account of it.

Check wine cooler to determine which bottles appropriate for storm - sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, a flirty little rose, etc.

You forgot that the people who were ordered to evacuate must "whine & complain" when it take First Responders an extra 5 minutes to come save there a$$ when they get in trouble. Blame George Bush and Halliburton for causing the hurricane to hit there.

The Chelsea Market crowds yesterday made it abundantly clear that the essentials for surviving a hurricane are Amy's Bread, Jacques Torres chocolate, and lobster salad.

Well considering there are actually people in Long Island that are being evacuated, NY is taking this pretty seriously. So this maybe be happening in Manhattan but don't lump the Long Islanders with the city people.

Bridget | 08/27/2011 flag |
The only reason anyone is paying attention to NYC is because Bloomberg is overreacting to a ridiculous degree. By the time we actually get hit this will be a tropical storm and we would have shut down the subway and evacuated parts of the city for nothing. This is entirely in response to his neglecting the disastrous blizzard after Christmas last year.

Haters please - you have no idea how hard it is to choose between saving Prada or Gucci; Hermes or YSL. Not to mention vintage Chanel. Talk about Sophie's choice.
Sorry no one cares about what happens in bum f*ck Cacalatchie County North Carolina. Here's a suggestion - transform your town into the financial/media/cultural/fashion capital and then the world will care about your town. -

Condoms are missing from the NY list. Very important for the hurricane party. Be safe.

"Pray that the television coverage is so myopically focused on New York's brunt of the storm that its citizens don't have to be bored with brief reminders of the other dozen states being drowned by Irene's wrath."
I'm in NC and so I definitely nodded when I read this part.... I've been flipping between our local news and Weather Channel ever since I got up at 7:30 (since I'm one of the few lucky ones with power), and I swear I've seen more about New York than those of us who are dealing with it as I speak. It's pissing me off, actually.... -

Menus so that others can risk life and limb to deliver sushi and pasta w truffles. Hunter boots for the 1/2' rain expected on Madison Avenue.

Heh, even "the world" is remarkably North American-centric. In other (poorer) parts of the world, they bring what livestock they can inside, and try not to drown.
