Re Frankenstorm Sandy

[pointillistic_practitioner]

My thoughts go out to anyone on the east coast of the US who is soon to be hit by Hurricane Sandy aka "Frankenstorm". Hoping everyone stays safe throughout the storm.

Eh, it's ok, I have an inflatable raft for my detailing supplies. I wonder what the wife is going to say when she finds out I don't have one for her.

I'm hoping to erect a sail out of microfiber towels and if the wind is right, make it all the way to SEMA by Tuesday.

My daughter lives in New Jersey, so I am worried about her. Hope this storm is not as bad as predicted!

Greetings from Long Island. Thank goodness I do not live by the shore. Have stocked up on water, flashlights, candles, cigars and wine. Sinatra station playing on Serius XM. Detailing products safe and sound in the garage. Just too a look at the car and the finish is stilll beading nicely.

Wife and daughter are both nurses and are stuck at their hospitals, but they should be safe.

Got a feeling that I will be making a generator purchase in future.

I live about 1 hr north of nyc. My town is at sea level and we are supposed to get a storm surge of 11 feet. Plus we have alot of leaves on the ground which will clog the drainage

Good luck to everyone we got such a small amount of rain and wind down here it did not count as a real storm. Hopefully everyone else will be lucky and it will come in and get out in a hurry. It's when they decide to slow down and hang over you for too long, that's when it's nasty!

It is technically past my area, but according to the storm tracker it's starting to bank left now.. we are still seeing lots of rain and wind as it passes. Major flooding of some areas of coastal Northern NC, and we've had a few areas submerge already in the low-lying areas of Norfolk and Portsmouth... more to come as all this rain accumulates...

Stay safe everyone.

Power went out for about an hour a while ago, but has been restored. Did not see a utility truck. Must have been done remotely or things just reset.

Most of my family lives on the shore in South Jersey. I am not liking the pictures right now. 8PM tonight is high tide.

haha good song and quite appropriate

Re the other comment, yeah we're about 3 mi away from the water, + high elevation so that's good at least..possibly. Our pwr went out for a few seconds earlier today but then was restored and is still up and running *fingers crossed* It's just very windy out...not scarily windy yet but all the trees are definitely swaying...

 

[Bill1234]

Ughh Oh, we are supposed to get an 11ft increase in water combined with the high tide. Not alot of people lost power, but I bet flooding and other problems will occur in my area soon

Things are getting nasty here in Delaware. I am seeing pictures from the Delaware shore where my beach house is and it's making me sick

It's slowly picking up here where I am in NJ. Suppose to get hit hard by this evening.

Bunker down everyone up north, been through some storms, joys of living in South Florida. Have some friends up north and this is what I have been seeing come across my lines of social media.

Atlantic City, NJ pier collapsing

Parts of Atlantic City are already under water.

Brigantine NJ

Battery Park, Manhattan

Milford , CT

Virginia Beach McDonalds

Brooklyn, NY

Roosevelt Blvd. and Hamilton Place in Brigantine

Beach Haven, New Jersey

Far Reaching Effects Including 30+ Foot Waves in Northshore Massachusetts

Developing News in NYC: a crane has collapsed on the 75th floor of a building, hanging precariously over the downtown streets near 6th Avenue & 57th Street. NYPD and FDNY are evacuating people in the area including all the nearby buildings before it collapses and flies into other buildings and onto the street. Remember up that high, the winds are much stronger at over 100mph. When it falls they have no idea where it will go.

Ocean City Maryland. 33rd Street Ocean City, MD View of the bay as it swallows land.

Kitty Hawk, North Carolina showing roads buckled due to major storm surge.

Just saw this come across my trusty-dusty news desk, but it hasn't been confirmed as of yet.

Godzilla tried coming ashore here in Montauk, but we chased him away. Lots of wind, power keeps flickering on and off briefly. Crazy, but nice to be home with the family with not much to do.
