hurricane sandy is on her way

[lancaster1313]

I hope that everyone will be OK.

I suffered some damage already. I don't believe that it was that bad here, but it seemed to hang around for a while and it is huge!

If you don't have generators get one if you are able to. Generators saved our butts after hurricane Wilma in 2005 when my daughter was newborn and the power was out for what seemed like forever.

Yeah and if the power goes out the pumps are no good anyways, I wish you the best bud, plan ahead and get what you can out of the basement now?

Thanks! I have already taken out all that i could. I even cut the power down there just in case the water rises to the outlets down there. And here i thought things could not get any worse. My girl works for the city so she will be going in tonight. Now that's stressing me out even more. :no:

u have a daughter?

 

[ismart]

Use heat packs on your most valuable ones?!?

Yeah, the heat packs are on stand by.

Non event for us for once. Couple inches of rain and some 7 mph winds. I just don't see it being that bad really based on my previous experience with hurricanes. But the weather people seem to think otherwise. It's not really even a hurricane as much as it is a nor'easter. Hopefully I am right.

I do hope your right Rick. Normally i would not be such a worry wort, but they are giving this storm so much hype.

Us floridians know how to deal with these hurricanes generators are the way to go! But!!! Do not! Keep them running indoors bc the Carbon Monoxide released can and will be dangerous...store it outside in a shed or something....have a bunch of bottled water and food...and flashlights (w/ working batteries)! I kno some of these things seem obvious but you would be amazed at what ppl don't kno what to do...

I was looking into getting a generator. I put it on hold, because i'm having a ton of work done on the house. Now i'm thinking maybe i should not have put that off?

The gusts right now are so loud you can hear it loud and clear even though all the windows and doors are shut! I stepped outside before and it is WINDY! Leaves are flying off the trees by the hundreds!

Good luck to all of those in the path of Sandy.

 

[ismart]

Honestly over here it's really not that bad yet. It's windy, but i'm more worried when the rain comes. Flooding for me is inevitable.

 

[aNisip]

Seriously u guys should look into getting a generator and a few power cords if u want ur mantids with specific requirements, to survive....news forecasters are predicting 10million without power....i hope you guys kno what you are up for...its not a little storm, its a hurricane, named Sandy, and she's pissed...

 

[ismart]

Getting a generator right now is close to impossible. Even if the power goes out? I have plenty of heat packs to keep all my babies nice and toasty for a long, long time.

 

[aNisip]

Mmk, sounds good i smart (is paul ur name?) ...now all you need is a pump and you're all set ... yeah your basement will get flooded bud, sorry...best move all things that can get damaged outta there...

All the best,

Andrew

Awww, no worries. I hear Sandy is full of wind. Oh wait........ :surrender:

I guess spongebob and patrick shouldn't have made fun of Texas!

I'm starting to get worried about my animals. i'm hoping that we will be safe from a power outage!

I keep months worth of food and water around at all times, not just for hurricanes but just because. Most people prepare weakly and only in the days before a storm. For some reason people think a case of water is sufficient. I've always been into preparation for any number of reasons.

hey everyone, i think i might turn my heat up real high now so if we lose power, the house wont drop below 50 degrees as fast since the heat is at 60 now. if i make it 75 or so, my insects might survive...
