Throwback Thursday: What I Did 14 Years Ago On 8-28-2011

by MBIP


I was living in New York City 14 years ago and a hurricane was threatening to raise havoc in the city.

Hurricane Irene was supposed to hit sometime after midnight and people were freaking out in the city because it was supposed to hit there pretty hard. Back then I was doing my blog, Marty After Dark. Even though the bad weather had already started, it was a Saturday evening, so I dutifully braved the weather and went out for my Saturday Night Cheeseburger post.

The post is below and an epilogue is posted below that. Enjoy!

Epilogue

In the middle of the night, the hurricane got downgraded to a tropical storm and after all the scary weather reports and hoopla, it ended up being no worse than a bad thunderstorm. You can read about it in the post I put up the day after this one by clicking on this link.
