hurricane sandy is on her way

[ismart]

Well so far i'm not impressed. Not that i'm asking for it to be any worse, but i think they have hyped this storm up a bit much. It went from gusts of 90 miles an hour to 65, or 70. They closed all the schools, and all public transportion. I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry. The worst of it is supposed to go down this afternoon. I guess in this case owning a car just sux, because i'm the only tard that made it in to work. Maybe my job will give me a Hurricane Sandy mug for showing up to work? :lol:

It's really bad right now. The winds are around 80mph right now and it is heavily raining. I hope the power doesn't go out!

I know the island is getting the worst of it. Be safe.

Just got my power back on. It was off for about 20 minutes.

This kinda clears things up for me. I can now understand the hype about this one.

Wind picking up here in NJ and the lights flickered. When do I have to start freaking out about losing power and heat? In other words, how low can it go before my Lucy goes?

Never mind. A friend in the neighborhood has 3 generators and has offered to keep Lucy for me if need be. Phew.

It's horrible here. The winds are insane and the rain is so bad you can barely see out your window. And this is just the start of it!

I have got to say I have not been very impressed by sandy so far. Yeah there is some wind and she spits on your face every once and a while but all together she just seems all bark and no bite.

So far in upstate NY, just some rain and wind (not light wind but not heavy). School is expected to go on (they never close school here!!!) and we're waiting to see. Please stay safe guys.

I imagine this is a case of Northeners being exposed to something they're not used to. Kinda like when it snows down south 1/4" and every body freaks out which is something someone that lives up north wouldn't even think twice about. A cat 1 hurricane doesn't generally worry us to much around here.

 

[angelofdeathzz]

Glad to hear you guys seem to be doing fairly well so far, lets hope it stays that way.

And yeah Rick, we can get a foot of snow at the drop of hat up here, 6-8 inches is nothing and most still go to work(or end up in a ditch), but the schools close.

Cat 1's are nothng! ...bring on the 3's and +....Rick that is so true what you said, people aren't used to it and freak out a little...dang, i want snow so bad! I usually travel up to western mass, for winter, so i know what blizzards and such are like, i wish we had em here in FL! (I mean, today at school, the outside temps were like 60 degrees...and ppl (classmates) were freaking out cuz it was 'soooo' cold....i mean they were all wearing jackets and parkas, and i was the only one rockin' a tshirt and shorts...cold weather= <3

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

everyone says they are not impressed, the worst hasn't come yet for my area. People may be speaking too soon in my opinion

 

[angelofdeathzz]

Can't wait to come down to the Keys this Feb. I'll bring you a snowman Andrew. :cool2:

 

[ismart]

My neighbors siding has just peeled off and is flying around my yard. My patio swing is now imbedded in the garage. This sux!

 

[angelofdeathzz]

Hope Paul and his Orchid zoo are OK?

 

[Mime454]

This thread is better than CNN. LOL Yes, I am watching both.

Warnd u guys...batten down the hatches! Sandy = mad ... .and Nick Sweet! Thanks i live in west palm, abt 6 hrs from the keys...(if u haven't yet, go to the red fish blue fish, their fish and chips is amazing!)

If it gets really bad, go into the room with least amount of glass and protect with matress-i doubt it will get this bad but better safe than sorry...
