What would you do if you woke up after Irene and saw your entire town had been flooded? Check your basement? Call friends and see if they’re OK? Hell no, brah — get out the jet ski and get x-treme.
Oceanside, New York, looks like a pretty fun place to hang out post-hurricane! Serious warning: the soundtrack to this video is unspeakably bad. Heinous; Like, worse than most actual natural disasters. So mute it and play the radical street-surfing track of your choice. I would recommend Prince. [BuzzFeed]

Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 2:20 PMFor ripping up and down the same piece of street like some snot-nosed 11 year old on a monkey bike, and for the vomit-inducing soundtrack, I award the Douche First-Class with oak leaf clusters. Wanna be maxxtreme, Pauly? Ride that thing out of a third-story window and film that.

Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 5:36 PMIt makes perfect sense to go up and down the same street.
That way he can be sure the water is deep enough and there is no debris etc.

I had 3 feet of water in my Street.
