Hurricane Sandy! (Watch out, NE)

[SP33Demon]

Somehow I still have power in VA, but I heard a large portion of Arlington is out. Dam.

 

[techs]

Jackson Heights.

The winds are incredibly strong. Sandy ain't no joke

I used to buy my drugs in Jackson Heights.

 

[Ryland]

We lost power around 3pm and won't get it back until sometime after the winds drop back down. A branch in the road also snapped a hanger under my car so i need to bring it into a shop thus week.

 

[bigrash]

Crazy wind out there. My power keeps going out a few seconds at a time.

 

[Doppel]

GAME FUCKING OVER, WATER FLOODED ALL OVER THE WATERFRONT:

Aw snap. Who leaves their car down there?

Also, game over, must nuke from orbit to be sure.

Northern VA here... still have power, just a lot of rain, pretty windy. It honestly doesn't feel that bad for now. NOVEC is showing majority of outages towards the west.. mostly in Gainesville area some more in Loudoun County

 

[Blackjack200]

I somehow still have power. It can't last.

Reporting from Louisville, KY after being hit by Isaac many years ago with month long power outage. Strong winds, 30+ mph but nothing like Isaac.

Generator ready
Food plentiful
Water, not a problem
Ammo, not a problem
LP, not a problem - actually sitting outside in this wind with my propane heater
Firewood, plenty
NG fireplaces, 3 of them
High calorie candy? 20 pounds
Antenna to watch monday night football? not a problem
Alcohol...plentiful is an understatement
Come at me!

NM. Missed the Alcohol.

[Anubis]

ready for this shit

 

[Gunslinger08]

I'm in the Shenandoah Valley. Have water pushing in under my door, around door knob, under several windows, and in a switch plate in my basement. Guess I'll be doing some caulking after this passes by. Sucks having a house that faces due West.

I prefer spirits, more bang, less space and no cooling required.

Not lying when I say I could go 6 months and not need to get any. Normally have a case of jack and a case of rum on hand at all times.

 

[sze5003]

Glad I got gas today. My power went out twice and flickers now and then.

I'm actually over in Newtown... was wondering the same thing.

My wife asked me what I wanted for christmas. My answer was easy and simple - a professionally installed generator transfer switch to the panel with an outside plug...that's what I want from Santa.

 

[Demo24]

My dad lives in NC and is getting several inches of snow from this, huge storm!

Cars floating down Wall Street. Power cut all over the place in an effort to save power infrastructure. A few deaths reported. Facade of a building collapsed in NYC. Battery Park now at record levels. (reportedly, higher than what was necessary to flood parts of the subway system, though I've seen no reports of that.) http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/10/28/nyregion/hurricane-sandy.html?hp

 

[rudeguy]

watched the moron weathermen standing out in the wind all day on tv at work. Every time I looked up, I kept hoping I would see

Subway Bridge to Rockaways Underwater
The North Channel bridge, which takes the A train from Howard Beach, Queens, across the island of Broad Channel and into the Rockaways, was submerged by Jamaica Bay shortly before 7 p.m., a Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman reported on Twitter.

My lights keep dimming I may lose power soon. Should heat some leftover food up in the microwave before I'm forced to reheat stuff on the stove.

srsly, hurricane coming and you leave a car parked in a low lying area?

@Zeze, must be nice to be in a tall ass building. Are you still posting or did your power get cut? lol

What happens to the plumbing in these tall ass buildings during flood situations?
