AC's boardwalk is getting a ton of damage as are some other areas.

Things still okay here so far. Dinner, fingers and toes up next. Need to keep busy.

But you could expect old shoes.

I find it really interesting reading people I know reporting from inside the storm. If the ring of fire goes active, don't expect the same from me...

I live in Michigan. The weather people are saying that Lake Michigan (which is on the WEST side of the state) may have waves up to 30 feet due to this storm system. If it's reaching way out here, I can't imagine what people on the east coast are seeing. Please be careful. Prepare. Evacuate if you need to.

I have family that live on Lake Erie and they've been told to expect 20-foot waves. Interesting.

Thank you!

I thought maybe it had to do with forest fires at Trick-or-Treat!

Edit: forest fires at f i r s t.

Oh my.... I never thought that this was such a regional concept.

Kenney, Skek and Joe have been on FB recently, so they're okay. Would like to hear from D'name.

KtCallista wrote:Oh my.... I never thought that this was such a regional concept.

most people only apply preparation h to certain regions.

Kenny ought to be fine where he is. We still have power, we'll see if it's still here by morning. hoping. Frankly, we're pretty likely to lose it, and skek too. I dunno about dname, lots of power out in northern VA, so I wouldn't be surprised if gman goes too. We'll all see you in a week or so, probably. or tomorrow.

Yes, thanks.

LPlady was here a while ago, so assume she's still okay.

All these fake pictures of the hurricane Sandy floating around the social networks almost make me want nostalgic for some Dodgeball photochopping.

I liked whoever it was coming out of the ocean.

Good morning all, I hope all are safe and well.

Good morning everybody! There is supposed to be a lot of snow in the mountains. Daughter and new baby both have Doctor's apt today.
Hope we hear from the storm tossed wooters today.

Mornin', I'back, j'ner, and folks.

Storm moved through quicker than expected; no damage near us and never lost power.

Yeah!

I can't believe it! SAtill raining, wind is gone. Still powered up.

Yeah; still raining and quite chilly.

AZGman wrote:Yeah; still raining and quite chilly.

I 'slept' on an air mattress on the living room floor (we all slept in there) and nearly froze all night. miserable night, but at least the electric stayed on.

Glad everyone's okay. Waiting for D'name to wake up. We have snow!

Snow! How exciting.

No. Snow is "ewwwwwww."

Okay, snow that you don't have to go out in is exciting. The rest is ewww.

pooflady wrote:No. Snow is "ewwwwwww."

How much snow do you have? How will we hear from d'name if she has no power?

joyner wrote:How much snow do you have? How will we hear from d'name if she has no power?

A heavy dusting. Mostly gone now. If I had gone out earlier, the car would have had to have been cleaned off.

D'name??? Don't know. I would think she would have had the laptop charged.

might not have a router

Good morning.

Check in: No flooding. Power was out for about seven hours, back on now. One cracked window from a flying branch. No biggie for us thankfully.

Have lots of outdoor clean up to finish but nothing compared with what our neighborhood had with Irene. Basically, we lucked out.

KtC, in reference to what you said last night about people posting during storm. Not much else to do after you've prepared as much as you can.

As far as I was concerned after that point it's in god's hands, not mine. We turned the stereo up so we didn't have to listen to the wind as much (made me nervous so that helped) and just tried to keep busy in here to pass the time.

Sadly parts of Jersey are devastated. Hope all NJ wooters are doing alright and they don't have too much damage.

Heading out to help with clean up. laterz

Can't she post from her IPad?

Google Map for Sandy. You can zoom in and get links for the power outage maps. Most of LI is down, as well as the CON-ED zone on the mainland.

Dougall and I lost power around midnight. No estimate for when it will be restored.

Wondering about Skek, too. Power's probably gone.

The outage map in our area shows a widespread outage to our west, and another one to our east, with roughly the width of our property between them with power.

i posted a message in our fantasy football forums on the off-chance that he has the app for his phone & will be able to check in.

odds are not likely, but still. since he's #1 in the league right now, he might go to great lengths to preserve his ranking.

meh, he's got an easy win this week.

I suppose so. It just feels weird from my perspective where all the storm reporting is fly-over style and primarily after the event. The technology to share just wasn't there before.

Mostly looking for a dname, Skek, or Kenney post. I gotta head out to work and Tuesdays are my insane day.
