Shoreline, CT

This pier is usually pretty high above the water, even at high tide.

Its been reported that the eye should pass over or near Atlantic City around 8 this evening moving northwest towards central PA where it will sit and leave a snowy fart before moving north to Canada.

[Tim the Beek]

Big wind in Northwest CT.

Don't imagine the power'll be on much longer, but we'll be staying safe.

The truck from Wisconsin with the generators for Lowes made it, and I made it to Lowes this morning at 7 for one of them.
Got it home, edumacated myself real quick on it, got it in place under the picnic table and tarps, started it up. Called neighbors for empty gas cans, and made three trips to gas station to fill them all up.

Now at least the headache of a flooded basement should be less.

I also bought a spare sump pump.

Its getting nasty out there. Stay safe folks.

I highly recommend cooking your way through the storm.

working on a some kinda corn potato onion pepper stirfry thing to go with my steak.

food coma.... the anti-hurricane.

We're going to try carla's mac n cheese recipe, I've got mini pumpkin cheesecakes to start, sweet potatoes with diced apples, mmmmm perogies with butter and sauteed onions, Abby wants soup, so maybe potato leek, and assorted roasted veggies.

[Jersey Thug]

High tide's in 13 minutes, here. Scarfire, how's it going? Thug and Jason? Anyone else on the water?

You know shit's getting real when chris christie is acting normal on TV.

Love y'all.

hi Sarah. sorry, we keep losing power and wifi and i'm just seeing this now. i posted to the AC thread and Facebook earlier, but we're doing good, thanks. the lagoon is really high and folks are losing their docks left and right, but i really don't think it will make it up the hill. the street side of the house is fine so far, no flooding, though one block over is flooded.'

we have everything we need if we're stranded without power or access out, for days.

we took in Lucy the puggle from one of the houses that's under water right now. she's adorable. snort snort!

we'll keep in touch as we are able and hope you're all being smart and safe

[Eco]

Just lost power and it feels so good, sort of like ATM on a lonely night.

Nice thingy is the wind is blowing with erotic potential.

[Jwheelz]

Eco, just thrust your hips up into the air and stay very still and then Sandy will give you a handy

[cassady]

[Jwheelz]

sorry about that!

[cassady]

no worries, just wanna keep it on topic
it's a good way to check on our family

[Eco]

I just went outside an its like Christmas with the church stuff. The storm delivered a nice 5 gallon bucket, now we just need some rain and someone to turn the rainwater info wine.

Jordan, Sandy is crappy at bj's, she's blowing free branches and such that can pose a hazard to human cock.

[Jwheelz]

we have sideways rain but there's not much of it here, the wind on the other hand is nuts and getting more intense by the hour

[Nuthatch]

I have been watching too many press conferences today, I guess I need a decoder.


1- Is "surge" what used to be referred to as a "tidal wave"?

2- Is "assets' (eg., "We will be moving our assets into place") what used to be referred to as equipment and personnel?

Thanks in advance...

[moed_over]

The wind is really picking up here in Philly now. Crossing fingers that power doesn't fail....

1. No. A tsunami is what used to be referred to as a "tidal wave". Surge is a high tide that keeps coming in a little bit at a time and slowly inundates low-lying areas.

2. Yes.

[Roasted and Toasted]

Nothing much in central NY (Syracuse) so far. A little windy, just starting to sprinkle.

[crujonez]

We are getting heavy wind and rain here in Reading, Pa. Sucks. I am supposed to fly out of Philly early thursday morning for two weeks in AZ.

[Smiles]

I just took a ride around CRanston/Providence. Not too much wind, a gnarly gust every once in a while. No trees down I've come across. Flooding isn't too bad yet, but if we are getting lots more rain, I can see my street flooding.

[williscat2000]

1.5 oz captain morgan+
1.5 oz Jamiacan Rum Cream+
3 Oz orange juice


I now have to switch to beer

oh, yea, its getting really windy..i cleared the leaves from the street drains and I'm enjoying myslef! Hang in there everyone! Life will go on. When life give you lemons...make HURRICANE SANDIES!!

[crujonez]

I can't start drinking because I must pick my GF up from her jobby job at the hospital at 11pm. That should be fun. supposed to be the worst at that time where we are

[Dr. Lostreality]

be safe, and she may want to consider spending the night at the hospital if she can...i remember driving in hurricane floyd 10 years ago and the rain/wind was so crazy I couldn't see 5 feet in front of my car, and that was during the day!

[concert andy]

They are saying the storm has picked up speed now traveling a decent 28 miles an hour.

They are calling for 6pm ish landfall.

It is coming down in buckets outside and the wind has picked up again.

[PeaceFrog]

This is a pretty cool link with lots of info:

http://crisislanding...smap/2012-sandy

shows the location of the storm, predicted tracking, webcams, active shelters and all sorts of other stuff... google earth

[In A Silent Way]

Still here. The wind sounds pretty loud out there. The lights have flickered a couple of times.

[PeaceFrog]

[TakeAStepBack]

We're lookin at an imminent power out. I have a 1,700 page history to read anyway.

[SunshineDrummer]

Starting to get crazy here. Wind's really picking up. Still have power, hope it stays that way.

[SunshineDrummer]

Just heard landfall is imminent, most likely just south of AC. Long Island is in the path for some of the worst winds...potential of 90+ mph gusts over the next few hours.

[Nuthatch]

a crane snapped in manhatten?

[Jwheelz]

lost DSL for couple minutes here... but that's it so far

[williscat2000]

seems like its not gonna be that bad

[In A Silent Way]

I was just about to say we still have power, but it went off as I started typing. We had candles lit. It's dark.

[nancykind]

[KrisNYG]
