Hurricanes are one of the reasons I'm glad I live 300 miles inland. For you guys on the coast a hurricane is a horrible thing, for me it just means we'll get some very welcomed rain.

Sorry everyone, I meant to post yesterday but things have been very busy. There will be news in October, but we are a bit behind the schedule I originally planned on, so the announcement is not yet ready. Some of the new features have taken quite a bit of work and I think you will be happy with the release, but we will only announce more information when we're ready to share something that is close enough to complete to be more meaningful. That means sometime in October, but unfortunately not yet.

Just stay safe up there; I suspect you are in the snow belt for this goofball if dangerous storm we are getting!

Same here!

Let us all join into a minute of silence for the first prominent victim of the storm: The ship "Bounty" sank today, some might have seen the copy of the original in a film.

Take care everyone in the storm's path. Hope you and your families all ride it out safely.

Nedrear, that's terrible news, however it seems the Captain and 1 of the crew is still missing.

Bounty? As in, a copy of the original bounty was lying somewhere in NY and now it sank? That is very sad (although it'll make an awesome diving spot eventually, at least, if the captain and crew survive). Spectacular pictures on the BBC. I hope everyone gets back on their feet quickly.

many , many sad pictures

Pretty crazy. Lower Manhattan was inundated, and keep in mind this is a city where basement apartments are common. My neighbourhood was unaffected, but it's spooky to find out what was going on just 30 blocks south of here. This is apparently East Village:

Hi everyone,

The Matrix Games office survived well. My house is without power and phone, but all things considered we did better than expected. From the news I've seen, this storm was as record-breakingly bad as expected in the coastal areas and closer to its path. I hope for the best for those folks and that there are as few lives lost as possible.

Best wishes to you and all those affected Eric.

It is not over. First he crushed the southern energy and phone lines and now he starts to freeze the water pipes in the north. Now that storm has a nice career. He was promoted to blizzard in the north.

Having survived Hurricane Katrina I wish you and everyone else the best of luck.

Glad to read you guys are ok.
Hopefully the worst has passed.
Take care!

Glad to hear that you and yours are fine and well Erik. Take your time re-grouping. The DW forum
family will be here! [:)]

Glad to hear the Matrix crew is all safe and sound.

For the rest of us that weren't affected by this, I want to add this. Keep all the victims in your prayers, but also pray for the safety of the rescue workers: the police, firemen, city workers, EMTs and Paramedics. I've personally been on the medic side of a flood related rescue operation...it is one of the hardest things you can imagine, as it drains you physically and emotionally. And while most people are now just left with cleanup, the emergency workers are still hard at work rescuing the stranded and having to start the municipality clean up. They've been at it all night, and they are no doubt very tired. So please keep all those affected in your prayers...victims and rescuers alike.

I hate this storm already just for derailing the thread.

It's hard to derail something that was going nowhere. [;)]

We tend to look out for one another out here...
If we had a chat thingy, I suppose it might stop these things from being on the forums... but... [8D][:)][;)]
