Walter Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Well, here we go again! Hurricane Sandy is currently southeast of Florida, a category 2 storm with winds of 105 mph. We are feeling some effects in Central Florida, they are calling for 12 foot waves on the Atlantic coast - which is a huge concern for those beaches. But the biggest concern is for our Zep brothers and sisters in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. The current track that is being presented is for the storm to make landfall in northern New Jersey as a Cat. 1 hurricane on Monday/Tuesday. Plus there is another system that could turn this to a snow maker?!? "Frankenstorm" is a name being used to describe this unusual storm. Be safe and be prepared everyone!

Virginia Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I hope everyone stays safe too. As of right now we're expected to get some effects Sunday night/Monday, but not too severe, unless the storm tracks farther south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We're just hoping for a right turn, and not a left. People are running around here like it's the end of the world...

The concern is growing and even some concern here in western NY. Albany has already postponed events. NY City and Albany may be in harms way. We will get alot of rain Im sure. I am hoping we dont have loss of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm watching The Weather Channel now; looking at the graphic of the US, the entire state of VA says "loss of power likely". Looks like it will hit land Tuesday, anywhere from northeastern VA to NY. Our Governor declared a state of emergency earlier today in anticipation. Please be safe everyone; this one looks really scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah J Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Stay safe all of our forum members in the path of this. I'll be keeping an eye on the weather channel over the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Like Deborah, I'll be keeping up with the latest on this event that one of our local forecasters said will be one to be talked about for many years to come. Keep yourselves, loved ones and your pets safe. Best to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 The worst aspect about this storm is that where ever Sandy hits that cold front, it's gonna sit for 24-48 hours while the storm changes direction. That could be a catastrophe for those areas where that occurs. I really hope people inland are paying close attention too. Be safe everyone!

ebk Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Went to the grocery store last night - they were completely out of water. Oy vey... Fortunately, I wasn't going in for water... They had the stuff I needed, except for bananas (how odd), so I had to settle for just apples. Got gas on the way home, so now I'm set! I'm really hoping that it's nothing... Best to all in the path!

paul carruthers Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I haven't watched this much Weather Channel in a long time. Hope this storm doesn't do too much damage & that everyone in its path comes out of this thing okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE12 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I've been in a hurricane, a flood, a terrorist attack, a few tornados, more than one blizzard + ice storm (Fortunately missed the blackout in 2003) but never a Snow-icane. Being without power really sucks but yea for good books to read by candlelight! NYC is very calm today. Before Irene, the stores were out of almost everything within 6 hours. The good news is the city learned a lot from the Irene preparations (e.g., which evacuation zone one lives in) or maybe it's made everyone too casual because of the hype. I still managed to pick up 2 cases of water just now. I won't tell you how much wine I got to stock up I have a feeling about this one... everyone in the path-stay safe!

Texas Melanie Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I will be thinking of all of you that is in the path of this storm. Don't forget to stock up on batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in_the_evening Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Here in NH we're hunkering down. Maybe if the power gets knocked out the pollsters will have to stop calling.... Looks like it could be super nasty. I bought a generator a few years ago and had the house wired up to it, so it's bearable when we lose power for any extended time. To everyone else in the path of this beast, stay safe. Check on neighbors that live alone and the elderly if possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe (Liverpool) Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I have never been in a hurricane and can only imagine the carnage and suffering it causes. To all of you in its path, keep safe and take care. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm in southwestern CT. Could be bad here, but probably not as bad as NJ or south shore of Long Island. I'm in a low lying area near a brook. At the bottom of a basin and street. Water funnels down here. Get a lot of water here at times, although my house foundation was raised a few years ago to prevent probs from floods we'll see. It's about 4 feet or so above ground now as opposed to level ground before. Hope for the best, but will be relocating temporarily for a couple of days, til the storm goes thru.

zepscoda Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 "every big U.S. airline -- including American, Delta, JetBlue, Spirit, United and US Airways -- has already issued flexible travel policies that allow fee-free changes for many passengers ticketed to fly to the Northeast and mid-Atlantic during the next few days." My mom is in town and was scheduled to fly back to Harrisburg PA on Tuesday. She was able to reschedule her flight and have the fee waved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan77 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just got off the phone with my daughter in Hoboken NJ. she is all stocked up on candles and supplies. Manhattan is closed tomorrow. The transit system is now closed in the Big Apple. I am in the line of fire come Tue and Wed. The stores here are crazy. My neighbor has already said I can run off his generator if I lose power. I expect we will because it doesnt take much. But dont worry, Ill still be on here to annoy you all. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
