Below is the warning sent out to the residents of Nantucket. Let’s get something straight. I hate that island. Had a bad experience heading over there. The ferry sucked, the tourists were beyond stupid. The island is useless. It would be best for Earl to decimate it.
But guess what? Probably not gonna happen this round. Why? Because the storm was lifted to a category 1 hurricane. What a joke. All this hype from when it was a category 4, and now it’s just gonna be a little drizzle with 50 mph winds.
——————————————————————————-
Residents and Visitors to Nantucket are urged to continue preparations for Hurricane Earl. Public Safety Officials advise residents in low lying flood prone areas and areas with a risk of exposure to open surf conditions to seek alternative shelter for the duration of this storm. Others are urged to shelter in place with enough supplies to last for 72 hours or more. Earl is a dangerous hurricane that will result in extreme surf conditions, ocean swells, dangerous rip tides and has a potential for heavy rainfall.

There’s one thing bothering me more than the God damn traffic itself in this state. The name of the hurricane. Earl? Friggin Earl people. You would think with a storm system capable of blowing a smart car through someones living room, the hurricane would have a more bad ass name. Just saying.
Think of it. Yes, they should keep the alphabetical names. But for “E”, shouldn’t it be something like “Epaminondas?” How bad ass is that. Hurricane Epaminondas.
Epaminondas was a fourth-century BC military genius who invented fighting in organized units.
Or how bout when we get to the “H” category? Hurricane Hitler or Hurricane Hiroshima? See? More menacing. Don’t wanna fuck with that hurricane now do we?

And so it begins. All us Massholes are playing the waiting game. Why am I calling it the waiting game? Simple, because every Massachusetts resident is always last fucking minute when it comes to a big storm up here. (Watch, it’ll be nothing.) Right now you could probably hit up any grocery store and stock up on some shit, but once you pass the magical hour of lets say? 1 hour before the storm hits, so 6 or 7pm? You’ve got asshole, after asshole, after asshole out there.
Streets are packed with the crazy fucks trying to get to stores, you got old bags who can’t just sit home and watch tv as it surfaces, you got lines upon lines at gas stations, crying babies while you wait in grocery store lines, fathers reaching over to the back seat while they’re driving to smack their kid for kicking his seat, pissed off wives, fiances, girlfriends, arrogant shit heads in their BMWs. Seriously, people are fucked in the head up here.
Shit, not to mention today is Friday. You know what that means? Between the assholes who took today off, mixed with those half day folks, combined with the working hard til 5 peeps, all stirred in with Labor Day weekend, expect gridlock everywhere in the Southeast, Northshore area. Why? Because it’s what we do best in this state.
We’re last minute. All the time. You wait and see who the dumb bastards are getting stuck in this shit. It will be hilarious. No sympathy for you morons stuck in 4 feet of water.
Watch, all this hype, and it will just be another day in paradise up here.

I’ll tell you what this really means. Absolutely fucking NOTHING! Seriously, when was the last time any resident of Massachusetts or any other state payed attention to State Emergencies? No one fucking listens. No one fucking cares. People are dumb and still travel in this shit. Name one company that takes the day off during a State of Emergency. As for Nantucket? I hope it sinks. I hate that island. The island is useless.

BOSTON — The governor of Massachusetts has declared a state of emergency ahead of Hurricane Earl’s arrival off the state’s coast.
Deval Patrick says the declaration will allow the state to respond quickly to the storm, which is expected to skirt Nantucket and Cape Cod.
Patrick is urging people living in low-lying areas prone to flooding to consider leaving their homes by Friday afternoon.
Electric utility and road-clearing crews are also girding for the storm, which is expected to come closest to the state late Friday into early Saturday.

I hate you. You were driving like a fucking idiot using no blinkers. You couldn’t make up your God damn mind of which lane to be in. And on top of it all, you threw your cigarette out the window, striking my car. You? Are a bitch. Oh, and those sunglasses fit the part too. Wench.
Do you have some anger to send in? Well? What are you waiting for? Do it! contact@trafficscoop.com

Why does the news media treat us like fucking morons? It’s a hurricane assholes. We know how to handle ourselves when this shit hits. We know the roads will be a mess, we know to go out and stock up on shit. It’s all common sense.
These bastard news outlets think we are all incapable of figuring out what the hell to do in these scenarios. Well, maybe some have no idea. Like the idiots who drive out in that type of weather not realizing the God damn 150 mph wind gust is blowing them up a river.
So for all you morons who have no common sense during a hurricane and drive out in that shit, guess what? We have no sympathy for anything that happens to you. You. Are. A. Dumb. Bastard.
More on this when it hits Nantucket first, because I hate that island.

It’s there for a God damn reason. Do I really have to remind you assholes how to use it properly? Seriously, it appears no one gives a shit anymore. Use a blinker scumbags. What? Cool people don’t use blinkers?
There’s not a day that goes by where I’m behind someone and they decide to lock up their brakes last second and turn down a side street. Oh, and let’s not forget the God damn drifters with no blinkers on the highway who cut you off with not a care in the world. You shit bags suck even more.
Next time you wonder why the asshole behind you floors it around you and cuts you off and slams on their brakes, you’ll know why.

When you are driving on a roadway, you are expected to drive straight ahead, unless you show otherwise. This is why you must use signals whenever you make any move in traffic. Your signals alert pedestrians and motorists of what you are doing and give them time to react.
Regardless of the kind of vehicle you are driving, you must use signals.
You must signal in certain situations:
• Changing lanes
• Turning at an intersection or into a driveway
• Pulling away from a curb
• Pulling over to the side of the road
• Entering or exiting an expressway or a freeway
Once you have completed your move, you must turn your signal off. Any time you want to turn, merge, join traffic from a stopped position, or change lanes, you must…
1. Check your mirrors for traffic behind you and check your blind spot on the side you are moving or turning toward.
2. Signal your intent to move.
3. Make your move.
