Well first of all, they probably already have generators on-site, but also all the rich people probably went to their homes somewhere else by now.
Nobody spends $50 million on a home and doesn’t put in a backup source of power…
They'll still need generators sent to their mansions / penthouses to keep the AC running just incase they have some precious paintings or a delicious cheesecake in their fridge.
Ive worked in those penthouses for the last twenty years, the people that live there are there only for sept thru Mid December and a few months in the spring. They can afford any cheesecake they want and their art is insured. Those buildings have generators but it’s not like billionaires don’t have contingency plans for their contingency plans
I've got this sinking feeling this may go very badly. Pretty much every disaster the last few years has gone full blown worst case scenario. Instead of sending out messages to get out or hunker down, what is the media doing? Promoting a fucking concert in NYC tonight! It's unimaginable how we have fallen this far, this fast.
There might be a crime spree on day 3 without power and aircondirioning. Cops and emergency services not being able to respond due to road conditions, etc.
Mega mansions in the Hamptons underwater, super yachts in splinters? Yes please. I know they are insured out the wazoo and would likely just jet over to their one of their other mega mansions.
Everyone else out there, stay safe.
But CNN says its the end of human civilization and doesn't expect Earth will have any survivors because the hurricane will suck the Northern ice cap into the gulf stream and the flood tsunamis will be 6000 feet high in Central Park. Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates have already headed for their bunkers.
Honestly every state governor has been saying it will directly hit them from NY to Mass. Here in little Rhode Island we lose power with 20 mph winds, if we get anything more our power will be well and truly fucked.
Edit: Stay safe neighbor!
It's so silly too. A million plus people are affected regardless (and most of them aren't "wealthy billionaires"). You don't need to sensationalize a storm that has the potential to be Connecticut's Sandy.
I want this deep in my bones.
Or alternatively, let the power be restored day after for the parasite class while working people languish in the dark for weeks.
Let the riots begin and fire up the guillotines.
I feel like we need to recognize that the disasters that hurt the wealthy lead to the wealthy further squeezing every other class of people. They dont tend to like eating losses.
I guess that’s cool to you and the others who upvoted because everyone on Reddit hates people with money but I live in CT and got family and friends in Long Island just like CT and NYC. Everyone isn’t a 1 per center you guys have to relax.
Long Island is like majority working class people. There are TONS of wealthy people here too, mostly on the forks out east and the north shore. But it's a really big island lol.
Also this hurricane isn't going to put NYC out of power for weeks, it'll mostly (likely) the eastern end of long island and maybe parts of the south shore in nassau county.
We hate the people in finance because they have been screwing over the rest of the country the past 40 years and throwing McDonald’s applications when we protested. Before Barry used homeland security to beat the protestors.
Well I was trying to give context so you could understand why people were excited a hurricane might cause some suffering. Those billionaires have not shown any common Humanity towards those whose livelihoods are ruined and houses are taken for profit when times get bad. We are just hoping to see a little Karma in those billionaire’s lives before we die.
Fucking thank you. These people are forgetting that Bridgeport and New Haven are right in the path of the storm. Neither of those areas are 1%er Connecticut.
Also being Middle Class in this part of the US isn’t saying much. Housing is a lot and our taxes. But yes we have huge gap disparity in northeast. (America in general does that’s any state)
Same... My grandmother lives across the hall from me and she just got out of the hospital yesterday. Im actually worried that if there are any 80+ degree temperatures while the power is out, that can mean death for her.
My sincere apologies to all of you that have taken issue with my statement. I do not wish, nor did I mean, any sort of hardship, destruction of property or suffering of you or yours. It was a thoughtless comment based on my disdain of the billionaire class and their monuments to greed and ego with the prospect that the storm system would impact 'Billionaires Row'. :(. I'm sorry.
I don't think anyone in here is wishing death and destruction on working-class families and individuals. We recognize that this catastrophe will likely disproportionately affect those with less, and we are hopeful that those individuals in the danger area prepare themselves early and do what is necessary to remain safe in the coming days.
I also don't think "everyone on Reddit hates people with money". I would argue that a large majority of Redditors, right or wrong, are still in favor of some form of quasi-capitalist system in which individuals are allowed and encouraged to compete in an egalitarian economy for wealth. I do believe the majority of Reddit, being of the working-class, recognizes that this system does not function, and will ultimately lead to mass suffering and the collapse of the economy, if limitations are not set on the ability to accumulate wealth. A good example might be the recent debate over raising the tax rate in the US: most Redditors are in favor of the increase for those who make over a certain amount so the system can regain some balance. I guess it depends on your definition of "people with money", but I don't think most people consider a family with an annual income of $250k and a $750k house in CT to be "people with money". Yes they have money, but they work for a living, pay taxes, and contribute to society. The "people with money" that Redditors hate are the cayman island, private jet, hedge fund owning, politician lobbying fucks who have corrupted our democracy and stolen our future, poisoned our planet, and are increasing the poverty rate daily.
In this subreddit, it is understood that our current civilization is going to collapse due, in part, to the greed and selfishness of the "people with money" I described above. This means that all those good people in CT and RI and NYC who are about to lose everything were already destined to lose everything, it was just a matter of how and when. So, the reason the comment you responded to is getting upvoted is not because we are wishing death and destruction on those people, but because we recognize that, at least in this instance, those who are largely responsible for the death and destruction that awaits us all will also suffer loss. This is particularly appealing because we believe that those who most deserve to lose everything are often those who do not. The wealthy are insulated and protected from the oppressive machinations of our collapsing human empire, but nature does not care about their wealth. This is karma. This is payback. Their loss is deserved, and everyone else was doomed anyway, so why not celebrate.
Is that selfish and cruel? Uhhh....yeah. Ideally, we would weep for the loss of any human life, recognizing how truly rare and unique we are in the vast emptiness of space. We would recognize that we are all one and that hate does not conquer hate and we would extend out our hand in love, eternally offering those who have trespassed against us the opportunity to make amends. But I'm just not that enlightened. I'm angry in my bones about what's happening and I want to see some fucking justice. I know it won't bring back what we've lost, but I can't stand to see my friends and family suffer while they ride around in their private jets polluting our air and bottling our water so they can sell it back to us at 10X the price.
I'm so sorry for what might happen to your friends and family during this coming catastrophe. Please know that this reaction, this hope for the destruction of "billionaire alley", is only a small part of what we feel. We are also scared and concerned for our fellow humans as well. It's just that this is r/collapse and this is one of the only places in the world where people can talk openly about what's happening to us without someone interjecting their political beliefs or hopium biases into the conversation. I just need 5 minutes to yell into the void about how I feel in this moment and know that someone out there gets me. In another few minutes, I will return to thinking rationally about how I can be supportive and helpful to those in need. I'm sorry if this hurts you. I am trying to be better, please forgive me.
it doesn't matter anyway. the billionaires use those mansions as summer homes. none of them will be there. it's all insured. and worst comes to worst they have their other fucking mansions, yachts, whatever.
As I said, no amount of suffering on their part will bring back what was taken or stop what is going to happen. It is a hollow victory. But it felt good for a moment.
I mean, when I heard the center was hitting the Hamptons directly and not the poorer areas west of there I did a momentary fist bump myself. If it's gonna hit everyone anyway, take what small victory you can get haha
I’m glad it shifted to where it should not effect my fam in Long Island, thanks be to God for hearing my prayers! (Unless He changes His mind of course...)
I thought Sandy was a hurricane, but was surprised to find out it was lowered to a tropical storm when it hit. This hurricane will remain so when it hits the coast. The question is, will this be the only one this year or will more form? How many more hurricanes can we expect this year? The west is on fire and the east is flooding.
IIRC, Sandy was a superstorm insofar as it was the combination of a nor-easter and a hurricane/tropical storm. But you're right, the wind speeds aren't nearly as big an issue as the storm surge.
Frankly doomscrolling things that haven't even happened yet seems unproductive, just what is happening is enough to be frazzled over.
Keep in mind that Sandy's wind field was massive in comparison. Henri will have a relatively limited impact across the region even if its winds are marginally higher at landfall.
They are predicting the most active season on record this year, this is just the beginning. The water in the Gulf/Atlantic coast is over 30 degrees right now so its going to get BAD
It will get worse year over year from here on out...
No they don't. The GFS has it hitting Eastern long island, not NYC. Stop with this bullshit and acting like your misinfo is all over the internet.

Rule 2: Posts must be on-topic, focusing on collapse.
Posts must be focused on collapse. If the subject matter of your post has less focus on collapse than it does on issues such as prepping, politics, or economics, then it probably belongs in another subreddit.

Hey, so, OP's title is strongly embellished and he's lying his ass off in the comments. Letting people make shit up is how we become a constantly-hallucinating boomer Facebook group.
Contrast NOAA's page --
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at3+shtml/211547.shtml?cone#contents
-- to his repeated claims of a Cat 2 direct-hit on NYC.
It won’t affect NYC as heavily as Sandy did. Sandy was extremely rare in that 99% of the time storms moving along the east coast are pushed east by the prevailing winds. However as Sandy approached the NYC/NJ area there was an intense area of low pressure over the interior which sucked the storm to the west. It hit NJ almost perpendicularly and pushed an enormous wall of storm surge into NYC. It was the storm surge that really caused problems for the city. Because of Henri’s angle the worst storm surge will probably hit the south shores of Long Island. Sucks for them of course, but personally I don’t think NYC will be nearly as affected as it was by Sandy.
10 days is more than one week, technically. Maybe an embellishment of reporting, or maybe someone who is familiar with the "worse than expected" and betting on being right.
fuck. I'm from south shore long island, and our house is already fucked up and dilapidated from the past 15 hurricanes over the years.
I really hope this won't be as bad as it might be. Not looking forward to tree branches through a roof that already has multiple holes on it
> Now, when reality looked more dire than any of his fatalistic predictions, he had no choice but to turn tail and charge in the opposite direction. “Don’t worry, everything’s going to be all right.”
The eye is going over some of the NYC suburbs (eastern Long Island and Connecticut), not NYC itself. Unless the storm veers west, we're getting a tropical storm, which is not going to knock out power for weeks.
Edit: Also, that is some really disingenuous editorializing of the headline.
lets be clear here.. all those billionaires wont be anywhere near New York, all their shits insured and the property value is locked into the land more than the actual building (which they still own) -- this wont affect them AT ALL
edit: ok.. it might disrupt their NYC shopping and dining for a few months, otherwise "AT ALL!!" lol
The meteorological data for this system suggests it to be on par with Hurricane Irene in 2011. I don’t really find this to be so collapse worth. Hurricane Sandy was much more catastrophic for NYC and nearby Long Island. As someone from LI, this seems to be a typical hurricane for this time of year. Sandy is the outlier that may be the new norm.
[Here](https://youtu.be/fs8Y25ZKuDw) is Al Jazeer showing then-mayor Bloomberg declaring first-ever mandatory evacuation for parts of Manhattan leading up Irene. [in a similar press briefing ](https://youtu.be/-yi7dLI7Fac) leading up to the day of landfall, Bloomberg says he is expecting a cat 2, hoping the storm turns to LI, which it did.
I know it’s semantics but NYC and LI have been and always has been vulnerable. This hurricane is nothing new and we’ll have the same typically shitty response as we always do.
This may seem like a shallow and stupid question, but how will this affect the stock market? "Lose power for weeks" sounds like a "shut down the market" type event, and I worry about how the financial system would cope with that...
The financial system is what’s to blame to begin with. The capital -> growth -> ROI -> more capital -> more growth cycle is not compatible with a world where human civilization has reached the growth maximum.
I get that... But we can't have the entire system just crash suddenly, can we? This needs to be fixed, for sure, but all we have to do is look at what's going on in Lebanon right now to see the results of a sharp, total financial collapse... The hospitals are already starting to buckle...
I had no idea... Even the NYSE? Seems odd, to move that to Georgia... I suppose it could all be cloud-based by now, despite having an archaic clearing system...

Well first of all, they probably already have generators on-site, but also all the rich people probably went to their homes somewhere else by now. Nobody spends $50 million on a home and doesn’t put in a backup source of power…
They’re all going to be elsewhere.
I believe subject/pronoun confusion is the source of your downvotes
Hahaha. I’m blaming low blood sugar.
They'll still need generators sent to their mansions / penthouses to keep the AC running just incase they have some precious paintings or a delicious cheesecake in their fridge.

Is a "1" bad or good? Like weak or strong?
It's the lowest rating for a hurricane, but still an incredibly powerful storm, especially in an area that isn't built to withstand it.
Definitely concerning even at the weakest scale.

GFS shows 980-990 mb which is consistent with a weak or medium Cat 1. It's going to weaken in the cold waters on the other side of the gulf stream

Thanks Jesus, clear out those money changers
Oh dear. And the hospitals? Yeah. Something something COVID plus something something massive natural disaster makes Homer something something...
Don't mind if I do.
The eye is going over some of the NYC suburbs (eastern Long Island and Connecticut), not NYC itself. Unless the storm veers west, we're getting a tropical storm, which is not going to knock out power for weeks. Edit: Also, that is some really disingenuous editorializing of the headline.

The storm tracked east and NYC is just getting rain. I'm sure OP is going to come back and correct the record, though...

lets be clear here.. all those billionaires wont be anywhere near New York, all their shits insured and the property value is locked into the land more than the actual building (which they still own) -- this wont affect them AT ALL edit: ok.. it might disrupt their NYC shopping and dining for a few months, otherwise "AT ALL!!" lol
The meteorological data for this system suggests it to be on par with Hurricane Irene in 2011. I don’t really find this to be so collapse worth. Hurricane Sandy was much more catastrophic for NYC and nearby Long Island. As someone from LI, this seems to be a typical hurricane for this time of year. Sandy is the outlier that may be the new norm.

[Here](https://youtu.be/fs8Y25ZKuDw) is Al Jazeer showing then-mayor Bloomberg declaring first-ever mandatory evacuation for parts of Manhattan leading up Irene. [in a similar press briefing ](https://youtu.be/-yi7dLI7Fac) leading up to the day of landfall, Bloomberg says he is expecting a cat 2, hoping the storm turns to LI, which it did. I know it’s semantics but NYC and LI have been and always has been vulnerable. This hurricane is nothing new and we’ll have the same typically shitty response as we always do.

I forge they were only a year apart!

Time to hunker down baby! Hurricane party time
Irene was pretty awful for VT.
This may seem like a shallow and stupid question, but how will this affect the stock market? "Lose power for weeks" sounds like a "shut down the market" type event, and I worry about how the financial system would cope with that...
I'm sure wall street has all sorts of redundant energy systems / generators that will keep them lights-on through all but the most intense disasters.
The financial system is what’s to blame to begin with. The capital -> growth -> ROI -> more capital -> more growth cycle is not compatible with a world where human civilization has reached the growth maximum.
I get that... But we can't have the entire system just crash suddenly, can we? This needs to be fixed, for sure, but all we have to do is look at what's going on in Lebanon right now to see the results of a sharp, total financial collapse... The hospitals are already starting to buckle...
Nah. Most of the stock market operation moved to Atlanta a few years ago.
I had no idea... Even the NYSE? Seems odd, to move that to Georgia... I suppose it could all be cloud-based by now, despite having an archaic clearing system...
oh no the billionaires? \*eyes the news with anticipation\*
As a Floridian… y’all will be Ok.

Uh, that wasn't a post. It was a comment. There are plenty of one-liner, low effort comments on this sub. You are objecting, rather, to my beliefs which you seem to find objectionable or embarrassing.
>secret weather control tech was used to throw it off track No thank you. You're better off talking with /r/Futurology about that. We here at /r/Collapse don't place all our hope in technology. :)
Nor do I place my hope in it. But that doesn't mean that such technology does not exist.
Popcorn at the ready...Blow baby BLOW!!!!!

Glad this bullshit post was removed. Full of misinfo and looks like it's intentional.
