Downeast Johnny Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Best of luck, Ted. I am on the east coast of North Carolina. The wind blew to 35 or 40 all day yesterday and we've gotten several inches of rain and it is still raining and blowing this morning. I spent Saturday in my Girlfriend's barn smoking a rack of spare-ribs. For us the storm is more a pain the ... than a real threat but I sure feel for all the folks in the north east.

f1ss Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Battering down the hatches in MA. I love storms, just hope we get slammed with snow. I remember Hurricane Andrew a little bit, I was tiny and was told "Dont go outside or you'll blow away in the wind." And Im use to walkin on the top of Mt. Washington! Its pretty crazy we have a hurricane and snowstorm watch, and theirs an earthquake in Canada, Tsunami in Hawaii....whats next, Solar Flares!?

Fireman31 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 We are in a state of emergency here on Long Island, schools are closed tomorrow, mass transit shut down at 7pm, and all airports are closed. Low lying areas near the south shore are under mandatory evacuation, and our barrier islands were evacuated completely this afternoon. Several local hospitals in the flood zone are evacuating too. We are expecting hurricane force winds in excess of 70mph and a storm surge of 6-12 feet, with waves to 25 feet. We have areas taking on water already and the storm is still several hundred miles away. They are saying that this will be one of the worst storms we have ever had, and it isnt even making landfall anywhere near us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Best of luck to you guys in the North East. I'm on the part of North Carolina that sticks out in the ocean like a sore thumb and have been through a lot of hurricanes but this one looks bad for the densely populated areas up there. Stay alert and go easy on the hurricane party's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
