Gov. Christie Evacuates Jersey Shore: ‘Get The Hell Off The Beach,’ You’re Tan Enough
During a press conference this afternoon, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie warned any lingering beach bunnies that their time is running out. “Get the hell off the beach in Asbury Park and get out,” he said. “Get the hell off the Beach in Asbury Park and get out. You’re done. It’s 4:30 PM. You’ve maximized your tan. Get off the beach. Get in you cars and get out of those areas.” The man is serious.
Hurricane Irene is “not like anything you’ve seen before,” said the Governor who seemed eager to appear well prepared, having taken heat for taking a mid-winter escape to Disney World during last winter’s debilitating blizzard. The press conference was scheduled to announce extensive highway and public transport closures, and to answer questions about evacuation plans as well as the Jets/Giants game that is still scheduled for this weekend. He defended his call for evacuations — inconvenient for those spending the twilight weeks of summer on the Shore – by saying that he was putting human life at a premium and, “I don’t want to be concerned.” The impending storm, he says, is likely to be unlike anything the state has seen in 60 years. Earlier in the day, he warned people not to believe the “dopes on television” saying that “a Category 2 hurricane is nothing more than a bad thunderstorm.”
He ended the conference by tossing his water bottle to a lucky reporter. When the storm hits, that water bottle might come in handy later.
