Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets. We'll check back in a week or so to see who was right or wrong.

I hope no one in Italy reads this thread, or anyone making the wrong prediction might find themselves behind bars.
Hope is the denial of reality
Ha ha. It's a big fricking storm on doppler radar. Some variations between European and American predictive models...but still a massive storm. My area has already begun to feel the end of the long tail whipping around. Sudden temp drops, higher than normal winds. Dark, cool skies and ominous cloud formations. Neat stuff in my book. People in town were either buying bottled water and batteries, or wondering why people were buying bottled water and batteries.
Governors are declaring emergency status, evacuating areas and closing roads. Hell, even political candidates are canceling events in advance.
We're already getting wind and rain from outer bands. Looks like it (being the center) will miss us, but the slow track will give us a ton of rain. I've made popcorn and cupcakes to get us through the cabin fever. Just hoping the power doesn't go out. Luckily I was able to get bread and water yesterday; two things I was actually out of and needed, and was kicking myself for not getting it in the week when I ran out. The store I went to had just restocked and it was evening, so most people were already done with their frantic shopping.
I'm not sure what my vote would be, other than yes.
Teh result will be no electricity for months, and zombies.
But what if the zombies have their Cat survival guide? There's a survival guide gap!
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
I also think it has been fairly well established that Zombie's can't/don't read. It would be a huge coincidence then if a zombie would be carrying a survival guide addressing his security needs as the zombie would have gotten such a guide by sheer coincidence, like a living human being, out of 'ethnic' curiosity, happened to be reading the book as his throat was being ripped out.
Congratulations America
Cat can't know what the zombie guide ownership situation is, the only rational avenue of thinking is to assume the zombies do possess a Cat guide and she must act accordingly. There needs to be an updated zombie guide which assumes the zombies have a Cat guide. We cannot allow for this guide gap to persist!

Guides for both sides would probably result in pretty comical situations (comical for those, of course, not having their brains eaten as a result).
Just like this bear attack survival guide I skimmed once:
- If a bear is awfully close, scream loudly to frighten them. Some bears won't be frightened, however, and view this as an attack.
- If attacked, play dead. The bear will lose interest. Some bears are carrion eaters, though.
- You might try climbing trees. Some bears can climb better than you, though
And so on. Pretty much every tip was immediately followed by such qualifiers. In short, you're probably screwed.
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
But too be fair, cats are pretty evil critters so they'd have at least some chance to survive a zombie attack, right? Maybe even switch sides and lead them to victory?
So will this mess with the election or won't it?

Well, both Biden and Romney had to cancel their weekend rallies in my region, so it makes me a happy camper. Come to think of it, I haven't had an automated political call in the last two days either.
Mitt Romney said in the GOP debate on 6/13/11 that he would defund FEMA.

Mitt Romney doesn't believe government should help people in need.
If Mitt Romney were President all those people would be on their own.

Seeing how its Mitt and all, it should be of no surprise that he already flipped on this

We finally got electric back this afternoon, yay!
Was strange to hear about closed roads, evacuations, NY and NJ flooding, snow in NC and WV (on the radio) but not have access to internet/news photos.
Places started closing at noon Monday, all county schools closed for two days. Ventured out to retrieve my son on the east side of the county, he had power but flash flood risk, we didn't have power but were dry. Like a ghost town, very eery, some streets like creeks, wind blowing branches and caution cones around. Found one open diner where truckers and young people gathered, joking that The Zombie Apocalypse will have one diner that'll stay open to serve coffee and eggs.
Spent a little over 24 hours with head lamps, flashlights, candles, Duraflame fires, reading, and playing with cap guns It was kinda fun until it got cold, but we got off really easy compared to other places. How'd it go for you, Cat?

It wasn't bad right where I was. Just a lot of rain and some wind. Never lost power. There was flooding in areas surrounding us, but nowhere near as bad as some previous storms were. I am waiting to hear from a friend in NJ. Hopefully she is doing okay.

Looks like Al Gore is blaming the storm on Global Warming...er...Climate Change...already.

I was curious because I did see a news report of Christie applauding Obama's handling, and if it seems in contrast with, say, Katrina, very well. Plus I thought it might not hurt to look presidential in the week before an election, show people you have the experience and the authority etc.
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
