You Said It!!


A sign on the Brooklyn side of the Williamsburg Bridge proclaims 'Leaving Brooklyn: Oy Vey!' The sign, bearing the Jewish expression of dismay or hurt, is intended as a way of acknowledging Brooklyn's large Jewish population. Borough President Marty Markowitz says motorists seeing it know it means 'Dear me, I'm so sad you're leaving.'

Hey guys, maybe that's a sign of welcome for u too.
With all this global weather turmoil maybe moving to Brooklyn (or around... forget about Manhattan as will get flooded too) a bit inland, better in a house than in an apartment building...

Ok, I propose some quest... in case you'll get an evacuation warning, what are you doing? How fast you'll be ready to leave and where to? Are you ready for a permanent move?
In that case, do you think the US gov. will be able to provide for everybody and in time?

WELCOME in some safer place!
