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.

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.

Gaige · 10-29-2012, 04:44 PM

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?

DapperButch · 10-29-2012, 05:27 PM

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.

LeftWriteFemme · 10-29-2012, 05:29 PM

Windy, windy, windy!!!!

there is always someone

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?

over 350,000 ppl in NJ without power.

starting to get the back end of the storm and wind. 85 mile an hour sustained winds.

Mom and I thankfully still have power.

Kobi · 10-29-2012, 06:37 PM

-----

We have another hour or so of sustained winds with gusts in the 70-80 mph range expected. No one mentioned the freakin torrential downpours that started a bit ago.

Oh....and the funky cinema cancelled tonights showing of Night Of The Living Dead so the freakin zombies will be out wandering again.

Geez, it is always something.

NJFemmie · 10-29-2012, 06:38 PM

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.

Corkey · 10-29-2012, 06:40 PM

The winds are at full gail here. Still have power but that could change anytime between now and morning. Still watching the weather and Ami will be off in an hour, hope she gets here safely.

stargazingboi · 10-29-2012, 06:47 PM

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!

LeftWriteFemme · 10-29-2012, 06:58 PM

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

PaPa · 10-29-2012, 07:01 PM

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.

Girl_On_Fire · 10-29-2012, 07:05 PM

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!

Corkey · 10-29-2012, 07:09 PM

Jersey, the green light is the transformers popping off.

GreeneyedMe · 10-29-2012, 07:23 PM

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.

clay · 10-29-2012, 07:27 PM

Am really concerned about my friend in Baltimore area. I last heard from her at 630pm in a text.
I was to call her when I got back in from errands. I have been trying since 730pm.
Anyone here in that area who knows if power is gone? I tried both home and cell to no avail, and she is not answering texts. My guess is power is out and cell towers not working!
......
please let me hear from you soon....

Little Fish · 10-29-2012, 07:29 PM

Hello BFP--

I live about 8 blocks away from city hall (for perspective)--and so far it has not been too bad--fingers crossed. We still have power and although the rain has been pretty steady all day, it has been light at times. The wind is noteworthy for the intermittent gusts which come up in seconds out of nowhere--really quite impressive and at times a bit alarming.

I did witness the death of my neighbor's BBQ grill, which plunged off the balcony to it's death in his garden.

I think I'll stay up until about 2AM which is when they say the initial brunt will have moved through--although there are reports that the storm may hover over the Delaware Valley for about 24 hours and further discussion it could bring snow.

In fact, the reporter was practically glib when he mentioned "some areas are already under blizzard warnings and these regions will have no problem seeing 4 feet of snow"...blase' motherfucker.

That's all I got for now, be well all.
