Hurricane News & Other Helpful Info

The gov. of Pa. was just on the news saying it is too soon to start listing the damages.

There is severe flooding in the Eastern part of the state and lots of wind
and water damages from the heavy storms. The state has been declared
in an emergency and all available west coast personel are asked to help on the east coast. No footage of film was shown. The national guard has also
been deployed.

The east coast is where many oil refineries are at, but no mention.

Wow! The flooding in NJ and VT is horrible! CNN has been showing some of the worst, and in some areas the worst is still to come. Stay safe all.

WOW! this morning I saw footage. You can not rebuild historic. I live near the three rivers of Pittsburgh and have seen the waters rise and the damage that has happened. BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS. The PEAK will occur tomorrow.

For many, it's not over as waters keep cresting for another day or so. Vermont and the Catskills of NY, among others, have devastating flood damage.

Fortunately, we didn't lose any power. The lights flicked now and then, but otherwise, it held up pretty well.

We have some water in the basement, but thankfully, we were able to contain it and must have dumped out about 100 gallons of water. If we didn't have power, it would have been much worse.

The flooding throughout NJ is awful. The surrounding towns are flooded out due to the Rancocas Creek - and houses in those areas are under a lot of water. Even our town is flooded out, but because we are on higher ground - our streets are clear. (Thank God).

I've been hearing on the news that a lot of people are complaining that too much hype was broadcasted about this storm. I'm infuriated about that. They should take a look at all of the flooded areas. I guess more people should have died or more damage should have been caused for people to not complain. It just shows how ungrateful and unthankful people in general really are.
