Hurricane Sandy

We complain about our weather in Blighty, but at least we don't have this sort of thing to worry about.

Glad your safe Len, figures crossed for the house.

Thanks Marc,you be careful also,if I wasn't so on edge,it could have turned into some good bench time.

Be safe Len.  You too Anthony and anyone else in the path.  I'm in Piscataway and my front porch is on the leeward side of the house so I Just made a very large gin & tonic and had a cigar watching, and listening to, the wind.  WOW.  I am amazed that any tree is still standing after just 50 mph gust much less sustained hurricane force winds.

Stay safe gentlemen!  I've got a cousin in Baltimore, sent me a picture of her local grocery store... picked clean, except for the toys that hang in the kids' cereal aisle! Don't think she's had to evac, but the mass transit is shut down from what I've been told

Sounds like I'll get some light storm mayhem on Wednesday where I am (winds, 50mm of rain). The wind has already picked up noticeably, and we've been seeing some precipitation most of the day. Still a lot of leaves on the trees up here right now, so there could be some downed power lines.

Stay safe all.  The storm is entering my backyard as well.  While I now have some free time, I can't imagine I'll get to see what I'm doing for much longer.

Funny thing, I saw this thread in the GB section, and I thought that there was going to be a hurricane GB.

Thanks guys, we are safe at a friends house on high ground. Unfortunately, my house has to be flooded but can`t confirm with my own eyes. Some lagoons sit higher than others, ours is the latter. I sneaked a peek early this morning, around 10am and the section I live in had water over the road...not sure how deep though, I still have a little hope that just my Florida room will flood.

Only thing I have to worry about now, at my friends place, is the power going out...which has happened twice but came back on both times. Thanks for all your concern, we appreciate it.

Len, stay safe my friend. Hope all is well with yo and your family.

C'mon out here and join us in Colorado!  No hurricane worries, but we do have wildfires, avalanches, etc!

We`re on Great Bay, behind LBI. Never seen the tide this high...and it`s supposed to be low right now! Just checked our flood insurance and we`re good...lol.  And no, can`t believe 2x in 14 mos....makes me wanna find some high ground.

Thanks Chuck! We`re right on the lagoon`s in Mystic Islands and low tide looked like high tide so I know we`re getting water damage when this hits tomorrow. We have family and friends in Philly and the burbs northeast of the city and some in Conshohoken (spelling) and Roxborough. They got it worse during Irene last year but I think we`re gonna really get it this time. Last time it flooded during a storm in my town, that affected my area was "Andrew" in `92. I`m ever hopefull but have taken all valuables to the 2nd floor. We`re staying with our friend and it`s not far from home but far enough.

Hope your Son is safe and sound!

Len

Hope you make out all right,sounds like your on a New Jersey Barrier Island,I'm just a little bit north frm you in Union County,just keeping our fingers crossed

Can you believe twice in 14 months ??

Good luck, Len, and God bless.  My son lives in central PA and it looks like the track is going right over his location, so we're worried about him, too.  No evacuations there, however.
