Jeff Master's Blog is excellent as well: http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/article.html http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/article.html And yeah, I was born in NYC. We're tough.

I think you're missing the point. It's important to not only empathize with things you could believe personally might happen to you, but also to the millions of others who you might know. Maybe someone has updated their YC several times. But they also haven't heard from a family member in 24 hours in Manhattan. I don't need proof that we knew the storm was coming, I'm just asking you to put yourself in other people's shoes and anticipate that maybe things are bigger and more out of control than we think.

  "Get off the cross, we need the wood". Equating human tragedy with an application to YC is inane. It's an application, that's all it is. Apply next time. Or drop a note to pg with an explanation if it's that important to you.

ps - it would be a real bummer if someone spent the whole night worrying about sick family in those hospitals that are being evac'd and missed out on the chance to apply.

  You could always work on your YC application while you're sitting in the waiting room.

    Some things take precedence over an application that allows for lateness anyway

    You have to be kidding me. I would despise working for someone who cared more about an application to YC than they did spending time with the rest of their family in the waiting area, or trying to calm their emotions by relaxing. Wow.
