Is Sandy going to kill us?

Work sent us home early at 8am this morning. Theyre shutting down power to the complex in preparation for the storm. Depending on the severity of it when I wake up tomorrow morning, I may use my last personal day.

The wife doesnt have to go in today either. They shut her complex down for the day as well. 4 day weekend for both of us! Hopefully the liquor stores stay open today for a few hours

I just got off my roof, cleaning the gutters. Damn leaves in New England!

That's the good thing about living in Kansas, we only have to deal with tornados.

Living in PA, I'm in the center of the mess and already the town is starting to pile on the rain. Streets are starting to hold water. No gusty winds today, yet. To top it off I'm currently waiting in my car for my work shift to start and I doubt they'll be letting me leave anytime soon. Not that I'm complaining, I need the money. I'm not sweating it, only thing I'm worried about is the house losing some shingles off the roof.

Good luck to y'all.  I'm glad I've nothing to worry about here, other than a few corn husks blowing in the breeze.

Current weather report states that the hurricane is practically going to nail northern Delaware/southern Jersey dead on. Bracing for impact in the next few hours... better get my Obey-ing in while I can!

Good luck folks .......  Stay safe

Not sure how it is for others here living on east coast so far, but Sinistron living in NY, pretty much sounds like he lost everything. His area got destroyed/flooded neck high, etc, and from what his neighbor had told him, their homes were not spared. Tim being in NH, hope he is doing ok himself.

[Necromancer]

Aww, that sucks.  I hope Sini's okay, waiting it out at an Arbys on high ground.

[Arkhan]

That sucks for Sinistron.  I can offer him a free Insanity when he gets all setup again.   I don't have any other spare stuff though.  :-/


The power went out here at 11pm and ruined my Ultima Onlining for the evening.  It just came back at 830am.  I suppose that's nothing in comparison to what I saw on TV with regards to new york.

16 dead, 7 million homes with no power, tons of destruction.

f*cking storms.

[Mishran]

Yeah sucks about NY, hopefully Sinistron is alright. I consider myself lucky with losing only a couple pieces of siding off the corner of the house from the storm. Nothing a call to the insurance company can't cure. Its too bad the same can't be said about New Jersey, Delaware, and New York. Millions of people who lost everything, a few even losing their lives...

I drove home to Buffalo, NY from Ottawa, ON last night and it was pretty awful.  It is something like 330 miles and the second half of the trip I had zero visibility.  Exception being the occasional sign that said "emergency speed, 45mph" instead of the usual 65mph.

Hope all is well.  Things closed here due to flooding and downed trees.  I didnt have the heart the check my car today, last time there was a big storm a tree fell on it.  Ignorance is bliss.

We lucked out in my Area, was not nearly as bad as it had originally looked. We lost power for about 14 hours, but thats about it. Sorry to hear about Sinistron. hope everyone came out ok as well.
