everforward Posted October 29, 2012 Share #3 Posted October 29, 2012 So far so good here....as it has made landfall about 300 miles from me, we are getting 50 mph wind gusts, and (probably) climbing......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcav20 Posted October 29, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 29, 2012 Well, here in central Maryland my family is getting a lot of heavy rain and wind. We have a stream and woods on our property and the stream is completely flooded and a couple trees have fallen. Still have power though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsystem4 Posted October 29, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 29, 2012 We still have power. I live pretty much in Boston. Lots of wind and rain. not much damage to our property so far. There are plenty of limbs and other debris in the driveway and neighbors house is shedding shingles though. Wind seems to be picking up, not slacking off like they were predicting. The news says gusts down town around 50 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pmuranyi Posted October 29, 2012 Share #9 Posted October 29, 2012 HI! Wow is this storm hitting NYC hard. The winds are shaking my building!! Its quiet then BOOM comes a guts and we jump off the couch! Gusts up to 50- 90 MPH till later tonight. Flooding is expected and will flood subays. They think. Police now in force by water(Hudson river), getting thrill seekers to safety. A crane has toppled over up town on a sky scaper. Now hanging in the wind. First time in my life I am a little uneasy about storms. I live 10 stories up and it is hitting hard againts windows!! Jeeez then Halloween then elections. I need this???:)!!

Dr_rambow Posted October 29, 2012 Share #12 Posted October 29, 2012 My part of Jersey ( about 10 miles SE of Philly) is holding out pretty well as far as I can tell. Just watched a transformer blow a few blocks over, but we still have power. 3rd story wood frame building, things have gotten shaky during a few gusts. Hope you guys on the coast are OK.

swmdo Posted October 29, 2012 Share #13 Posted October 29, 2012 We are getting lots of rain. Creek behind me is now a river with whirlpools. Hope the water keeps flowing away from house. Have enough pop tarts and sardines to keep me going if cut off from rest of world. Still have power. Sand bags keeping water out of basement and garage.

CNY Militaria Posted October 29, 2012 Share #17 Posted October 29, 2012 I am in Upstate NY and the weather is getting pretty windy! It was interesting to go to Walmart today and see ALL the bottled water sold out, all bread, and most non-perishable items gone, and a long line of people waiting to fill water jugs.

hawkdriver Posted October 29, 2012 Share #18 Posted October 29, 2012 We just got a stand-by notice to be ready tomorrow to launch if needed. Don't take it wrong, but I hope I don't get to meet y'all on the east coast, cause if we do, it won't be good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-tex Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share #19 Posted October 29, 2012 We had three days in a row of 35 to 50 MPH winds about a week ago, so I have an idea of what you are dealing with. I hear parts of the boardwalk in Ocean City and Atlantic City are now flowing down the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted October 30, 2012 Share #22 Posted October 30, 2012 Looks like it's been downgraded, still a dangerous storm. Keep safe, RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insigina Hunter Posted October 30, 2012 Share #23 Posted October 30, 2012 Im in side at work for another two hours. No power outages just heavy rain and winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted October 30, 2012 Share #24 Posted October 30, 2012 Looks like it's been downgraded, still a dangerous storm. Keep safe, RC The "downgrade" is indeed misleading because while there is no longer a "hurricane Sandy" there is still a superstorm whose impacts will increase through out the night for many people over the entire northeast US (I looked at a utility company outage map and it show power outages as far west as Indiana. I have family in central PA and they are looking at 60+ mph winds yet to come. My dad is staying with someone who has no internet or cable so I have been calling him all day on his cell phone to give him the latest forecasts and I'm sure his the same position as many elderly people who have no idea of the scope of this thing. I finally convinced him to go someplace else with a lower risk of a tree crashing through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin R Posted October 30, 2012 Share #25 Posted October 30, 2012 We haven't lost power yet or anything really, but the rest of my family isn't doing so good. My Grandmother has no power and my Aunt's home is a few blocks from this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
