Frankenstorm Sandy

Power went out here for first time since I've been parked early this afternoon. Back on now though but lordy did it feel like a Green Lanten moment when sky went green from a transformer blowing. Lol.

After spending time with Gaige on the way to work, on her first break, and for her half hour lunch, I do feel better...Her excitement at every big gust is so fun to hear, that she may be wearing down my worries...I love her spirit, fearlessness, dedication, and the way she soothes me...I also love that she doesn't get annoyed with my worrying about her.

According to the forecast for her area, there are still some big gusts and sustained winds on the way, but I hope that they are no worse than those seen in Baltimore already. I also hope I can get some sleep and not be up and down all night looking at the news.

I hope that those bearing the worst of this storm are safe, warm, and in contact with loved ones.

Has everyone checked in? I see Alex from RI hasnt been back yet. Hoping he isnt floating around in the Pawtuxet River again.

Seems there are others unaccounted for too but my brain cant find them. Anyone? Bueller?

God bless all the first responders and the people helping their neighbors and just all the people in the cold and the dark. I hope tomorrow doesn't reveal too bad a scene.

Heavenleahangel · 10-30-2012, 03:55 AM

Thank God we faired off well in the storm! We have power, cable and no damages so far. I havn't been out to the yard yet. The news is showing our school district is still open today! (That is a relief!!) I hope everyone is safe and damage-free.

cinnamongrrl · 10-30-2012, 04:00 AM

I came across one downed tree on the way home...with power lines etal attached..they had blocked off the road on the OTHER side of the downed tree... Once I got past it I had to go through cones to get to where I was going....brilliant....
When I got home we had no power....but Teddy and I were outside enjoying the moon coming through the clouds and talking about our days when the lights suddenly came on

Our power guys didn't mess around this time. Last year at this time we went an entire week without lights. Fun times...it was like indoor camping...lol

Tommi · 10-30-2012, 04:05 AM

Hope you all are well. CNN sights and sounds are of the superstorm hitting hardest ever in NYC.

Jersey too. . Power out allll over the coast with wind chills.

Must be a lot of east coasters not here. Members on line was at 24 last night.

God bless all.

RockOn · 10-30-2012, 05:47 AM

Heads Up Everyone!

Hey Gang,
LeftWriteFemme is ok. I had contact with her a few minutes ago. Her power and Internet connection are both off. Sherrie asked me to post this message for her here at BFP to let everyone know she is alright.

THANK THE GOOD SPIRIT!

I hope all our eastcoast friends and family have made it though the worst!!!!! Hang in there friends help is on the way!!!! I watched a news cast this morning showing Oklahoma is sending hundreds of trucks and equipment and volunteers to restore power and remove trees and debris, and help access the damage. It showed a big convoy of elec co. and gas and tree trimming trucks heading your way. It also showed trucks stocked with fresh water and donated non pershiable foods and clothes .The news clip said many other states not effected by the storms are doing the same.
You are in my thoughts and prayers!!!

Thank you for asking.. I am here... and I am very lucky.

Just went outside to check out the damage. This summer I had a new fence installed around my pool; fortunately that is fine. The rest of the fence around my house is gone... I can see part of it on the ground and I can't figure out where part of it went. House is okay. I can see trees down in the street, dangling power lines.

Last year in Hurricane Irene, a cluster of my neighbors and I lost power for over a week. Everyone else got theirs back on 5 days before we did because we had a special transformer that blew and the power company couldn't get to it. Well, this time, the cluster and I barely lost power, and I can hear several generators running in the neighborhood around me. I really lucked out this time. Just checked on some neighbors and offered them all the extra ice I made and storage space in my fridge/freezer.

I am a mile from the ocean here, and I can walk to the beach. I know there are houses over there under water. If we hadn't lost so many trees already last year between Hurricane Irene and the Halloween snowstorm, this would have been way worse. And the electric companies here were under such scrutiny from last year's storms that there's no way they were going to drop the ball this time.

Coastal RI/MA is an absolute disaster. NY/NJ was nailed. I'm seeing the Facebook posts/photos from friends, not good.

It is going to continue to rain/thunderstorm here today but the worst regarding the winds is over. My work is open so I've gotta get up and get going.

I swear there was a note under my car windshield that said- "After what I did to you last year, I figured you deserved a break this year. -The Hurricane Guy"
