Hurricane Sandy

Not sure how many of us are on the East Coast of the USA, but I'm right in Mass. so I'm not sure if/when I'll lose power. Depending on how bad it gets, you may not see me for a few days.

Good luck to anyone else in the path of Sandy!

Yeah. I'm actually in Delaware right now.

The wind is intense. Stay safe everyone!

Uhh last I heard, about 18 dead in NYC. Mostly due to falling trees. Over 100 houses went down in flames. Lost power Monday night, came back Tuesday night around 10:30. Didn't bother to leave because we had no where else to go and it really beats sitting in a car in flooded streets so...this was what it looked like outside our window.

Hai Sandy!


The water did get somewhat higher, flooded the parking lot. Destroyed countless decks, totaled a car that was near the ocean, tossed an AC on someone's roof, ripped someone's garage door off, among other things.

And I got hit in the face with sea water on a drive back from the store (the streets flooded on our way back) and it was...one of the nastiest things I've tasted. -.-;;

As of now we've got rain. Lower Manhattan has no power and a few other places in Queens, Brooklyn lack it as well. There are still people being rescued in...Long Island I think.

And the "famous" boardwalk from Jersey Shore is missing a chunk of it which is now adrift in the sea.

They said this broke a record of reaching four feet or something.

Wow! Glad you made it out alright!
