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!

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.

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

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

You just made me spit drink as well as choke on it. ROTF!!!!! Did not expect that at all. Love it. Thanks!



Love That,
Brute.

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...

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.

Be safe in getting home if you try to get there.

here in CT it just turned dark as midnight within minutes. The wind is crazy, I went out on the balcony for a second and had a branch fly towards my head. I wasn't expecting that ..when I opened the sliding door it wasn't like that at all, change happened within seconds. :doh:

I'm thinking I may want to relocate my TV right about now, and get it away from that wall. Since, that's the wall where there are trees that have branches flying. :thinking:

Baltimore, MD
 

This is just before 6 pm. Its about to come on shore soon so I need to get my ass to work. I don't want to be on the road when/if it gets ugly. The speed limit has been reduced to 40 mph on the highway so I will be taking it slow.

So.. didn't take long.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...n_2038781.html

Of course, the whole idea that global warming, massive industry/pollution and wars wouldn't cause this kind of crap, would it?

My mom is out of power, but that happens in every storm. Irene it was out for days. She has a generator and the neighbors all work together. It is something she has become accustomed to, I would say.

Windy, windy, windy!!!!

there is always someone :wtf:

or how about the fact that we have had several earth quakes that have shifted the earth on its axis the amount of which usually takes hundreds of years...this wouldn't have anything to do with it...would it?

And how was your day?
 

Wind is very unnerving. The lights keep flickering but so far we are holding our own. No water in the basement which is a miracle in itself. Keep hearing creepy sounds outside.

Since this storm is nowhere done, a lot can change overnight. Hoping we have power in the morning.

I have never seen so many leaves in my life. They are everywhere.

it was just reported that the hurricane has just switched over to a nor'easter...which mean the cold is pushing in now...some areas are under a blizzard watch.

over 500,00 people without power and Sandy just took the first CT life. A family lost power and was walking to a neighbors house when a tree fell on them. Two of the three had injuries and brought to the hospital..the third didnt make it. SO, PLEASE be careful...be safe!

The sky just filled with green light......that's never a good sign.

Here there are fuses/transformers or something that keeps blowing up on the poles - loud buzzing sounds and sparks flying everywhere. Within the last two hours it has happened about 10 times if not more. Each time the electric goes off, it stays off momentarily then comes back on within a couple minutes. I am going to head to bed after taking Ginger out one last time.

I pray for safety for those affected by this huge storm. Please try to be safe, dry, and warm while this passes over.

Here in Connecticut
 

We are inland and the worst that's happened where I am is a deck chair collided with the grill. Amazingly enough, we still have power and Internet.

Stay safe everybody!

no sleep tonight....
 

Just saw on our local news....they are evacuating the residents along the Lake Ontario shoreline here...almost 2400 homes...unheard of in my lifetime anyway...and a gust from HELL just hit here....holy sh*t....yea. I'm a wuss. Capital W. I know there is all kinds of bad going on out there....just my little part of it.
