Hurricane Sandy

[Bosco685]

We're getting some good wind now. Click for a video off the roof...

 

 

Be safe.

Not near the water but very very windy...already had my neighbors chimney cap blow off and hit the house putting a big hole in our new (relatively, 2 years old) siding...just had a big branch come down in the back yard...stay safe everyone...

To everyone in Hurricane Sandy's path, stay safe!

For anyone that IS in Manhattan right now on the lower East side, according to their facebook page, Katz Delicatessen is still open and is making deliveries.

 

According to my friend, most of the bars are open in Williamsburg and Greenpoint as usual. The hipsters forgot to turn on the TV and have no idea what is going on.

Easiest drive to work today, went in for 2 hours and was told to go home. Hurricane Sandy makes Christmas seem like a work day, everything is closed, all train stations boarded and sand bagged.

Power is now going out in lower Manhattan as underground transformers get washed out by flooding. You have to hope that people we smart enough to evacuate when they were told to...

Does anyone in NYC know if street sweeping is suspended on tuesday?

 

To make a long story short - I'm in queens, my car's in brooklyn and public transit is suspended, leaving me no way to get to my car and move it if I need to. And I didn't want to assume that it's cancelled tomorrow just because it is today.

 

I hope your car is okay man and avoids anything like this from the Cooper Village area pic from the last 30 minutes.

From the NYC DOT site:

Alternate Side Parking (street cleaning) rules and parking meter rules are suspended citywide Monday, October 29 and Tuesday, October 30 due to weather conditions.

 

Thank you!!

It's parked near sunset park in brooklyn so I think I'm okay?

Multiple towns in nj are now waterfront property, and we lost power at 4pm. No chance of it coming back in the near future. But the sky keeps going green due to transformers exploding.

Man, there are cars floating around on Wall Street. That's nutso!!

[ChasingKingKirby]

I'm in Richmond, va. So far we've seen nothing more than a little puff of wind and rain. I can hear the wind building up outside my office however, it's prolly gusting to about 50 mph or so. Hoping the wind doesn't go out.

Saw some video of Virginia Beach on CNN this morning and the waves were pretty high.

[Old Fashion PB and J]

Saw the beach disappear and the Atlantic city boardwalk float away, and a few towns are completely evacuated.

incredible

Kitty Hawk was even worse. Two of my sisters live near the water and one of them had 3 feet of water in the house from Isabell. They lived in a FEMA trailer for over a year. Insurance rebuilt it on a new foundation that is almost as big as the house. Her neighbor 2 doors down decided to go macho and his family ended up having to climb into the attic to survive. Mother Nature is NO joke. They say the election will come down to the female vote.....maybe Sandy's casting hers now.....GOD BLESS....

Flooding and winds down on the South Shore of Long Island are getting a bit intense.

[Spiderphill]

I'm at work right now. Working in downtown manhattan. Everything is engulfed in water east of avenue B. This is insane.
