Hurricane Sandy

Remus · Oct 30, 2012

I was wondering how the members over on the east coast of the USA are faring up? The hurricane looks extremely bad on the news over here. Is everyone OK?

planemo · Oct 30, 2012

i hope all members and everyone in general is doing ok. :

well that's a relief. not sure why they'd put it on a news article though.

Hoping everyone's doing ok too!

I'm from MA and we didn't get it so bad. I still have power .. just some trees down and a little minor flooding but where I work has no power from last night.

I read that some parts of NYC were 6 feet under water!

JuiceB · Oct 30, 2012

I hope everyone there is doing okay.

Labyrinthine · Oct 30, 2012

Still don't have power here. Surprisingly I didn't get any flooding, though a lot of the cities surrounding me did.

I hope everyone is okay, and staying safe and dry.

Edit;
As soon as I posted this, the power turned on. I do believe I jinxed myself.
Now to work on the mess that's the backyard. A majority of my fence is down.

Pookah · Oct 30, 2012

Downed trees, power outages, closed roads etc near me. Work closed today. The worst of it with flooding and such is definitely the coast. About 30 minutes from me in Atlantic City there is major damage.

I'm about the same distance from there. I've heard that part of the boardwalk is gone, or something along those lines.

Same here. Labyrinthine, Pookah, and everyone else in that area.

MikeyC · Oct 30, 2012

I hope everyone remains safe in the hurricane's area. From what I've seen it's a really intense storm.

Opaline · Oct 30, 2012

All we got was some intense wind and rain yesterday, and then it quieted down. It's been quiet ever since. Not sure if it will start up again. It's mostly been fun, though, I like being stuck in the house with a storm raging outside

As long as it doesn't become dangerous, of course.

You too?

And the danger part .. there's almost something, "appealing" about that too. Like on the rare occasion of a threat of a tornado around my area, I stare intently at the sky waiting for it to go green. What IS that? Lol! I don't WANT a tornado tearing through but .. there's something about nature flexing it's muscles that is so .. humbling .. and exciting at the same time.

Or maybe I'm just weird. :

No I feel the same way. Tornadoes are absolutely terrifying to me (I mean even the sight of one, and sometimes even pictures scare me), but I still feel slightly excited when I hear the rare tornado watch too. We're from the same state btw, so I can relate exactly

Falkor · Oct 30, 2012

Hope everyone is doing well out there, I'm following the news, it's so tragic, i hope all the people will be in safety and that the water will be pull down soon.

coyote · Oct 30, 2012

i'm not even on the east coast, and we have twenty foot waves hitting the shore on the lake michigan side of the peninsula; 10 foot waves on the bay side.

all the leaves i raked to the curb on sunday have been blown back onto the lawn :[

i hope everyone out east is fairing well

Coyote ^_^ your answers are always cool. Even if the world would end, you could say ''Let's watch the hobbit before it comes'' ^_^

No, I understand this. When we get severe weather warnings for floods or wind, I anticipate it with glee. I love it.
