Frankenstorm Sandy

easygoingfemme · 10-28-2012, 04:55 PM

Yup, best to be prepared.
Last year the "tropical storms" took out major roadways, bridges, and small towns all around me and that passed through much more quickly than what we are expecting over the coming week. My immediate area did not have much power loss but just miles from me folks were without for up to two weeks. It's a big strain on hospitals and assisted living facilities. The combination of potential wind, rain, and snow, if it happens, will indeed cause mass damages.

I just had to break it to my tenant that her pellet stove will not work if the electric goes out. She assumed if she lit it by hand that it would work.

I am ever so glad we had that conversation.

well i'm surrounded. people panicking. people not panicking. i'm not much of a panic-driven person myself. i've prepared. the rest is up to the storm and the building i live in and the trees in neighboring yards that should have come down years ago. this is my first hurricane and all i can think is "will there be zombies?" and if so, "how many weaker victims than myself can i throw in their way?" i have to rely on devious intelligence to stay alive if there are going to be zombies. i'm not built for speed.

<=== throwing in a face for good measure

I don't think they'll be zombies. No self-respecting zombie is going to be out in that kind of weather.

I think we need a hurricane drinking game and an online party for everyone who is affected by Sandy but still has power or a functioning cell phone.

easygoingfemme · 10-28-2012, 07:35 PM

Okay but I'll have to go get some alcohol. And I'm a lightweight so I'll only be able to play for about an hour and then I'll be passed out for the rest of the storm.
But count me in!

hehehe. . later on his pee will be frozen and his cahones may be falling off, as for the newspaper box, maybe it will be located a few miles down the street, and the guy singing kumbayah may be signing something else about oh sh*t and not be so happy.. hehe. So, maybe you will have a peaceful, quiet night and not be so entertained Nomad, cept for the wind and rain sounds. Better get prepared for that drinking game. Good luck!

.. good thing about that, is when you wake up again it may be all over?

Has or Is anyone evacuating at this point or is everyone pretty much staying inside and hunkering down ?

Be safe and stay warm everybody!

Birds are getting quiet, animals are sensing the storm coming and NY will be shutting down Wall Street, NYSE, and the subway and transportation system. They are calling Sandy a "100 year storm" now and one of the worst storms in history.

Ginger · 10-29-2012, 08:59 AM

My part of Brooklyn is okay but they evacuated Red Hook, Coney Island and the Far Rockaways yesterday, as well as part of Lower Manhattan. Governor Cuomo just had a press conference, and kept saying, "Don't underestimate this storm." They're saying now, that it will be worse than Hurricane Irene, which caused evacuations and hit last summer when I was in Ecuador.

I'm sitting here with my outdoor furniture and bicycle stacked in the livingroom, since we all had to clear off our balconies. It's just windy out, and occasionally a weird structural noise will happen, or a white plastic bag will go floating up near my windows, which is sort of unnerving since I'm on the 9th floor.

LipstickLola · 10-28-2012, 07:37 PM

I'd rather be over-prepared than under....

The area where I live was hit hard in June by a durecho, over a million homes without power for days on end, another powerful storm two days later to add to the bedlum. There are still many trees and heavy limbs weakened by summer storms that could be problematic to power lines with this new storm. My area is in for blizzard warnings over the next two days, Sandy will meet up with a blast of arctic air from Canada to create a different kind of havoc, so we are as ready as we can be for possible power outages and travel issues.

Praying for everyone here to be safe!

Portsmouth NH reporting... It is still dark. We have Monday off from school. Heavy rains and winds expected Monday afternoon. Steady winds and steady rain right now.
Leaves... clogging, slippery leaves everywhere.

Power outages are very common here. So I'll finish looking supply gathering this morning.

I am hoping that Halloween trick or treating gets moved to Wednesday.

Chancie · 10-29-2012, 04:44 AM

Western Mass reporting . . . I just fed Bella and took her out for a peepee. School is cancelled today, but it's just cold and a little windy here, maybe a bit of drizzle. So far, it's hard to see why everyone's panicking. Pete has to work, and I am sure they won't send her home early.

cinnamongrrl · 10-29-2012, 06:12 AM

oops...I did it again...lol the above was supposed to be me..... im not awake yet y'all....

LeftWriteFemme · 10-28-2012, 07:46 PM

Well my school is closed Monday and Tuesday......the weather folks say the major rain dump will be over my house 7-10 inches. should be fun!
