If any one gets hit by flooding or whatever happens, let me know..i am there to help..We are in Albany ny and could always get things to you quick..
good luck
-
I am in southern Connecticut pretty much in the projected path. We been working our buts off for the past few days in preparation of being down for a while. Our tree still have leaves so any substantial wind is going to knock a lot of limbs and trees down, not to mention flooding woohoo!
Sad thing is Halloween once again will be ruined for my children. Last year we had a freak snow storm andmhaloween was canceled.
-
yeah it sucks about halloween..
If you guys need any help printing or help with waterer let us know..i have an auto now so i CAN help..LOL
batten down the hatches and good luck!!
-
or we could just send you guys some candy.
How about contacting your neighbors and doing it after the storm? Maybe a couple days later to let folks clean up a bit. That way the kids can go around and have fun.
Stay safe Mike.

Last year they cancelled Halloween and gave a date for trick or treating unfortunately very few people got the memo so we took them to Yale for children's show instead, maybe this year will be dif. Thanks for the offer north never know what will happen in the next few days fingers crossed its all blown out of proportion. Today ct is starting shore line evacuating guess it is pretty serious.

After growing up in RI and then living in FL and going through two decades of storms, including Floyd and Andrew..
I'll take that small earthquake we had this morning any day.
Good luck out there!
-
It's getting pretty wild around here, the whole shoreline has been made mandatory evacuation. I am 12 miles from the shore so no worries there thank god. Curious tho who else here is going to be affected by this storm? Wonder how Brian blinkspot made out knowing he is in Delaware.
-
We are and will be fine here. Plenty of food, water, handy gen set and freshly stocked liquor cabinet (that was the first stuff picked up). Way above flood levels, house on a hill and dry basement. Little worried about the shop hardly any grade their and surrounded by fresh tilled farm land but nothing on the floor. Helped get some boats ready this morning then went to Walmart just to watch the insanity. Seriously what are you going to do with 10 lbs of evaporated milk, 20 pounds of rice, jars of olives (unless your 007) and what ever else was left on the shelf. I thought they were giving gas away at the three stations in town, the line was out on the street. Stopped at Lowes to get some stuff for the shop last night and the place was crazy.
Heavy rain now getting windy barometer falling, sea gulls in town (usually a sign snotty weather is off shore). Predicting 7-1/2" of rain over the next 72 hrs.
This will be the first storm in 25 years I will not be working on a boat or baby sitting the a yard. Kind of bored.
Ink, last time we had a Nor'easter on Halloween, 92 it was one of the worst winters on record. Just saying.
-
I hear that noise Brian, looking to be a wild winter for sure.
You guys down there are on the west side of the hurricane which means tons and tons of rain, we are on the east side which means big winds and an insane storm surge being predicted. Our shore line is Long Island sound, the sound fills up like a bowl of water when a surge comes, the farther in the higher the surge.
I bet a lot of people on here are wondering why 70mph winds and seven to ten inches of rain is such a big deal for us. Well our trees and shorelines are not used to big storms so it does not take much for our area to turn into a major disaster from a storm you guys way south might find nothing more than a blow.
-
We're in south jersey, so far not much to write about. We're in Cumberland county, and we are the evac area for Care May and parts of Atlantic county. Deployed radio gear Sat. To 5 shelters.Set up Sunday. Maybe 50 evacuees total by sun. Should pick up this pm. I am due back in at 8 am to eoc for my stint.
Got everything due this week out last week.
-
Guys, good luck there and stay safe.
Cleveland should get a lot of rain and winds up to 60-70 miles/hour, but that is not much comparing what some of you will experience.
Stay safe.
-
We mostly expect a lot of wind and rain, about 20 miles west of Boston. One of our employees is staying home, and we may shut down around lunch if it gets too windy for our ancient windows (old New England mill building), or if we lose power. I'm hoping the folks on the coast don't get it too bad, but I'm afraid they are going to get it. We can probably help anyone in a pinch as well, as long as we have power. Hold tight...

My inlaws live in Philly, they are expecting 80-90 mph winds. The only advice I gave them was flip the trampoline over. ;) They have dealt with enough storms before and they just had a basement waterproofing system put in...so they should be fine.
This makes me want to get a small generator for the house.
-
I am in Western NY...not far from Lake Ontario.....we wont get the brint of the storm....like the Jersey Shore....but expect torrential rain and wind.....expect the power to go out from falling branches or trees....I hope for not too many days....I got a lot of printing to get done.
But if it does happen that way...I am sure my customers will understand....they will be without power too.

After hurricanes Francis, Jean, Katrina and Wilma in a 14 month period I bought a big generator. We Went without power for 2-4 weeks for each of those storms. Most of my existing customers were very understanding. The ones that that called after the fact were no understanding.
Good luck.

Really feel for you guys and gals. I lived thru Rita and Ike and it ain't no fun. Good luck and hope all goes well.

BATTERIES, FALSHLIGHTS, PROPANE FUEL, ICE, FOOD, GENERATORS now look like empty places in retal markets.
If tee shirts kept people warm, fed & safe in bad weather we would all be rich.
New York city is going to basically be a ghost town by all reports everyone is being to be told to get the F out....city busses are going to shut down in about 2 hours and tunnels leading out of the city will close later this afternoon trapping any one left behind in the inner city.
the predictions for long island is not good with the ocean on one side and Long Island sound on the other side with no place for the water to go from the surge, the property values out there are HUGE
this could be a mega disaster in large metro areas not to mention us yankees learned NOTHING from katrina....hang on to your bloomers we are in for a big blow.
we are in central NY far from the cityand the ocean but in the path of the storm or so they say

thanks P.

Just received notice from two suppliers that order shipping will be delayed till further notice. Also I have extra generator 4000 Watt I can let go @ cost if someone needs it. :)
Sent from samsung gem(the worst smart phone ever)

Survived Sandy's big blow. It was fun, the wind was awesome sounded like a never ending freight train for hours. Our state got hammered really good especially along the shore, tho not near as bad as Jersey. 3 people died, sadly one was a fireman hit by a falling tree while riding in a fire truck.
-
These are some pictures of the town I grew up in, Sea Bright NJ. We had some bad storms but never like this. They are protected by a 20' high sea wall but when mother nature wants to come in there is no stopping her.
-
I m in Ohio going on day 3 with no power, my generator is too small to run my dryer. Luckily my customers are without power so everything can wait a bit. I couldn't imagine how crazy it must be loosing everything.

Good luck you guys! Customers can wait in the end, what is most important is your families and you are safe. Hoping the power gets back on soon for all of you and that none of you suffered any major damage!!
-
Finally got power back. South Jersey got it pretty bad. NYC got it bad also. Subways are closed for at least a week. My area (North Jersey), didn't get it too bad. Few uprooted trees, power was out for about 2 days. Nothing major. Finally back to work tomorrow.

Problem we are having now is we cant get supplies because UPS is not working in our part of the state, supposed to be up and running soon but no definite date yet.
Watched all the major networks last night on their coverage of the storm, they seriously pissed me off because they talked and showed all the firemen and first responders doing their thing in places like NYC and Jersey, but not once ever did they mention the one fireman killed in the whole storm. He was here in CT a tree fell on the firetruck he was in on the way to a call and died.
The other thing both MSNBC and FOX politicalized the storm any way they could, it was sickening to watch.

It was sickening to watch. I kept turning on the news to see any storm updates etc... and they kept showing Romney picking up the last box from the ground for some relief effort to put on a truck and all the flashing lights from the cameras at the same time. I gave up and finally went back to the computer to read about it online instead.

Yea one station was praising Romney and the other praising Obama. One was criticizing Obama and the other criticizing Romney.
Hey Whitewater we are all set, playing the shuffle game with orders but things are coming together finally, tho I had to air some supplies in ugh. Just hope UPS gets their act together by Friday.
-
Mike, I actually heard about that firefighter. I am not sure where though, it was either TV or radio, not the internet. It was covered, but not much.
-
The best CT coverage we saw a trampoline in the pwr wires.
Seriously, UPS is all backed up here too. We spent half the day yesterday rearranging the schd based on what may or may not arrive.
