((((((((((((((EAST COAST)))))))))))))))))

I went to check on everyone (the dogs and structure) at 2:30am. The wind was unreal and I'm in southern VA. I can't even imagine how awful it was for my friends in Jersey. I have one friend who has horses right where there was impact and have not heard from her yet.

A lot of people don't have power and it may be days before we hear from them.

stargazingboi · 10-30-2012, 07:06 AM

In one piece and power has been restored..hope everyone else is ok

CT got hit hard and several lives lost..my thoughts are with all in the east coast and hoping safe.

I'll check back later

And don't think of me as shallow/single minded when I say this- it comes from being a part of the racing community and of course we are not overlooking the loss of life and property damage from this one--

The New York City Marathon is this coming Sunday. It goes through the 5 boroughs and ends in Central Park. It's one of the three most elite marathons in the nation (Boston and Chicago being the others). Between the damage, the canceled flights, the disruption of public transportation... if they pull this off it will be one of the crowning examples of recovery and I hope it will give a lot of NY residents a sense of hope and strength. Over 30,000 people would be traveling in for this race, and there are typically over a million spectators.

I heard from a few of my family in and around Reading, PA - some have power and some dont, but all are well, safe, and in good spirits.

I hope everyone else is the same or better.

Ginger · 10-30-2012, 07:11 AM

I'm okay and a lot luckier than other folks in the region in New Jersey and Staten Island and boroughs that have lost power. The elevator in my building is down and I'm in the 9th floor but I'm going down to the garage now to make sure it isn't flooded and check on my car.

The subways are flooded, up to the platform at many stops. All the tunnels except the Lincoln are closed, going in and out of the city. All the bridges are closed. Some roads have reopened but most aren't. Utility crews are coming in from Texas and California. Millions have no power. Schools are closed, of course. The city is really frozen.

BrutalDaddy · 10-30-2012, 07:16 AM

Woke up this morning and truck is still upright. Wind has died down a little but still rainy as hell here.

I sincerely hope everyone is okay out there.

Brute.

Glad to see folks checking in. Power is on/off in these parts.....way more fortunate than my friends up north.

I am glad to see people sporadically checking in..

DapperButch · 10-30-2012, 08:14 AM

We slid right under the radar on this thing. We didn't lose our power and no trees came down. Per my neighbors, my weeping willow "made a mess with many branches down, but nothing hit the house".

Very lucky. Some friends have no power, but no one we know had any serious, serious damage, fortunately.

We are also down to a Level 1 driving ban, which means you can drive, but with caution.

Thanks for the support and concern from everyone.

Just a quick note to say BB and I are safe and sound. Thanks for some of the check-ins that I missed. Luckily BB is out of town for work in Michigan and I am uptown on second floor apt. with my kitty cats.

I know that Cheryl lives in a low-lying part of zone A in Brooklyn. I'm pretty sure she would have had to evacuate but maybe she will check in when she has power and confirm. I have a feeling Maryoosa lost power, but I don't know b/c we aren't in touch but I do know where she lives and it is a place that is out of power pretty much.

Don't get your hopes up friend. I think that will be the least of their worries.
