Holy Shitballs!! |
Maryland here. 20 miles north of Baltimore, maybe another 30 to the MD PA/Jersey/Delaware lines. Weatherman just showed the eye of the storm move across the MD/PA line, reaching down to where I live. I didn't expect that....at all.
I still have power, although I don't know how. These are huge winds! Still pouring rain. Wow. Hunker down ya'll! -Moonie |
Sandy is getting much closer and my anxiety is going up.
(Don't tell Dapper, but I am obsessively watching my trees from the kitchen.) Someone once told me that if most of your trees are blowing in one direction, and you see a few twirling around, they are bad.... I keep watching, but they all look like they are twirling. I really don't mind until the huge gusts come and then they better twirl themselves away from the house. These gusts are crazy strong. Eek.... |
Raining steady here, windy, but not the brunt yet...she's definitely showing her out"skirts" to us. Hoping power gets us through the night at least....we will see...

Sandy
I just got a message from ocean (lynn mass) She has no power says trees are coming down everywhere. I will call her at 9pm this evening and keep you folks updated. She says it crazy. Let all say a prayer for those who are in this storms path. Be safe and if anyone gets destroyed if you want to come to Atlanta my home is open to you.

Getting very ugly here on the Mass coast. Sustained winds, gusting into the 60's. Rain continuing. Lots of debris floating around. Think I just saw the cow from Twister go by. Many roads closed due to debris and downed power lines. Lots of street flooding in the area. Ocean is up in the parking lots at the beaches. Piers are under water. Marshes are overflowing already and high tide isnt until 11pm. Sounds like a shutter is banging. I am hoping it holds until the winds shift. Cant do much about it on the second floor anyway. Just dont want to see it go flying. Glad I moved my beloved Altima. The tree it gets parked under is shedding pieces like crazy. Power is holding but flickering now and then. Whoever it was who said this storm was being overblown can come kiss my ass. Bring a big mac when you come. LOL. Gonna be a long freakin night. I dont mind this during the daylight hours. But things going bump in the night is unsettling. |
i bought a hairdryer , photo frames and some yummie gummies ... lol
and took some great pix outside of Mr Blustery... lol and yea, light flickers now and then and leaves blowing all over... moderate rain... but so far not all that bad... rather nice to sit inside , have tea and ( I have to ) read through the book THE HOBBIT before it comes into the theaters... stay safe u all |
I live in San Diego now but grew up in Greenwich Village NYC and Boston. Some of my family and friends are on the East Coast. please take care of yourselves and your neighbors. It is all about love now. My love and prayers are with you. Thank you all for your updates.

Western Mass checking in... We're a ways away from the coast but still experiencing heavy winds + steady rain. I worry about all those on the coastline! My thoughts and juju to all...
I work at a community hospital about thirty minutes from home and our president sent all administrative staff home at three. The ride home was a wee bit harrowing in my jeep. When I got home I was so surprised that we had power. We lost it at some point during the day but... I am so grateful we haven't lost it for good. I've heated up some food, boiled some water and cranked the heat just in case we do lose it. I took some video if the turbines behind my office this morning but I'm unsure how to paste & share. I'll feel much less anxious when my lover makes it home safe tonight. Thinking of everybody, really wishing for the best!! |
fill your bathtubs up with water in case your water goes out,,this also comes in handy when u need to flush
|
We got a 30 gal tub at wally world, it's still filling... the plugs may not hold enough water for a weeks worth of water.

Central Mass (near Worcester) again. We lost power for about 3 hours, but it's back now. Our neighbor went driving and said there was a huge tree that fell and knocked out the line. Hopefully it will stay on!
Lots of rain and wind, still, but we're at the top of a hill, so we aren't at risk of much flooding. On the news they just showed a porta-potty on its side. LOL |

Maine, here ... about an hour and a half north of Boston, I just got home, but of course not with out for a drive to the beach, that's what we do during inclement weather, we go and check out the waves.. I was parked at the rocks adjacent to the beach.. I drive a 4Runner.. It was rocking back and forth.. I snapped a few pics that I threw on facebook. Right now... Its just heavy winds and rain.. Power is out sporadically in my town...

Upstate, NY near Albany here. We have rain coming down and the winds were forcing us to slow down on the road about an hour ago. Thank God we still have power. We emptied totes to fill with water as we are on a well and no power means no water which means no flushing! I also filled all of our pitchers, jugs and water bottles, bought the last 4 gallons of water on the shelf at Wal-Mart!
I was lucky to find extra batteries for the flashlights and radio. I also have a gas stove, so I can still cook and heat if need be and a gas grill. Please everyone say a prayer we will all be safe. |
flickering power
sideways rain wind like crazy tree limbs crashing into the street yup just another blustery autumn day in the (413) |
im working in w. mass and live in central ma. the power keeps going off here....i got a text from my mom, who lives in the same town as us..that the power was out. teddy said there were power lines down in the adjacent town. hoping just to make it home tonight. my mother seems to think im better off staying here with my client....and teddy has told me to get a room if its bad...im thinking of taking the highway home instead of the back roads....we shall see... fingers crossed....
:praying: |
Holy shit the wind suddenly got really intense. There's a leaf stuck to my bedroom window. On the 9th floor.
The flooding in other places is much worse. |
southern VA- lots of rain, some sleeting and wind. I covered my fall/winter garden of greens because the temp says 39 tonight and having seen that change way too many times, I am playing it safe.
I think we will get snow tonight or tomorrow. I hope we don't lose power. I think we'll be ok. I have my generator ready, 200 gallons of water for the animals, lots of food, etc. Even got dog coats for all the dogs in the event we lose power they won;t be cold. |
