Hobroken in peril but not to worry, the Nazi truck will Move Forward to safe ground

Many of you are worried about me with the coming hurricane but I can assure you where I’m currently situated which may be in Italy or in a conference room with lawyers discussing existing or future lawsuits against citizen websites and residents telling the truth about me, I am both warm and dry.

My devout husband Wickedly and I have taken steps to ensure our safety since that terrible act of God some years back where the guy upstairs we’re not on good terms with sent a lightning bolt striking our home.  So you need not worry about us and I trust this will give you comfort as we’ve contracted with the other guy downstairs below Wickedly’s wine cellar.  Go Team Beelzebub and let’s Move Forward!

Nazi truck Moves Forward in Hoboken again!

=&0=&

If you thought three times was the charm for the infamous Nazi truck in Hoboken, you’d be wrong. Hand over the organic carrots!

Wednesday night, the tip line was ringing off the hook here at the Stable.  Not because of Beth Mason’s de rigueur cybersewer at Hoboken411 earning countess’ bidding to defame any and all in her way but with Hobokenites sending in sightings of the unholy Nazi mobile’s whereabouts.

Over several hours in the evening, reports came in on the rumbling in the Mile Square of the MF Mason Nazi Truck.  MF stands for Move Forward, officially of course.  You already know what Beth Mason stands for. Read More...

Advisory: Hoboken Prepares for Hurricane Sandy
Hi SmartyJones,

There is a growing possibility that Hoboken and the region could be impacted by a very major storm early next week as Hurricane Sandy continues north. More than 6 inches of rain and hurricane force winds may occur, with the possibility of record flooding.

“Just as with Hurricane Irene, we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best,” said Mayor Dawn Zimmer. “Most importantly, we want residents to remain alert and take steps to prepare themselves.”

Residents who do not have a land line or have not received emergency notifications in the past are urged to sign up for the City’s Reverse 911 system by visiting www.hobokennj.org/emergency. Residents may also sign up for non-emergency related alerts at www.hobokennj.org/alerts.

The City has plans in place for a shelter and emergency operations center if necessary. Barricades will be pre-positioned if needed to close off streets and “No Parking” signs posted in the most flood-prone areas. North Hudson Sewerage Authority has been clearing out catch basins.

A flood pump is operational, but very heavy rain can still result in flooding. As a result, residents who park on-street are strongly urged to avoid flood-prone areas. Due to the possibility of very strong winds, residents and businesses are asked to bring in unsecured objects from patios and balconies and secure outdoor objects such as lawn furniture or garbage cans that could blow away and cause damage or injury.

FEMA advises residents to take the time now to put together a family emergency plan and emergency kit. Some of the items in a basic emergency kit include: one gallon of water per person per day, for drinking and sanitation; at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food; battery-powered radio and a NOAA Weather Radio; flashlight and extra batteries; and First Aid kit. Having a kit can help you weather the storm.
