Hurricane Sandy (3 Viewers)

[modogg]

for those with DirecTV, and still have power, they are dedicating channel 325 and 349 for all news on the hurricane

Wow, ignore this. I can't imagine anybody lasting on this channel for more than 15 minutes. A whole lot of annoying coming in from local news casts, etc.

 

[Dought Man]

Storm speeding up. Now expecting landfall around 5pm -530pm. Target is AC to Toms River

Was just gonna post this.CBS 2 guy is saying that this is not a good thing (unlike typically when you'd want it to speed up)-QG

Weather channel peeps saying this is a great thing for NJ...not so much for NY potential damage/water level.

 

[Billy Bats]

Stuff is really picking up now, actually starting to be concerned

Yup, 2pm as they predicted. Sustained winds getting stronger, with heavier gusts. The worst is just beginning.

One of the most shared tweets came from Lindsay Lohan, who questioned all of the Sandy hoopla.

“WHY is everyone in SUCH a panic about hurricane (i’m calling it Sally)..?” she tweeted Sunday night. “Stop projecting negativity! Think positive and pray for peace”

Hello Sandy.....

 

[GroveDiesel]

From FacebookBrigantine Beach sea wall has collapsed. The police chief is telling all resident to leave NOW. 70% of the 9500 residents stayed to ride out the storm.

Oh man. That's not good.

Yeah, the storm was supposed to hit landfall with high tide which would have been cataclysmic. Earlier is better.

She is as stupid as a human can be and still actually function.

House is starting to creek or is it creak, either way. I think the end is near.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

34,000 LIPA customers (Long Island) with no power.

Amazing, it was 3K a few hours ago.Knowing LIPA, ten days to restore.

That means Otis is likely down for the count

Power gone here in garden city long island. See the wire down in my back yard.

In case you were thinking of playing jump rope, don't do it.

You should go out and get a tarp while you still have time.

Pt Pleasant beach is gone. Boardwalk under seige.

What does "gone" mean?

Completely breached by water up to and over dunes. LBI is really bad as well.

 

[zamboni]

Wind really picking up around here - only a matter of time before power goes.

 

[Gamma1210]

Northern union county: winds picking up and lights flickering. Expect to lose power soon. Parents are in brick and said winds are as bad as they have ever seen and water level is rising fast.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Blizzard warning, High wind warning, and flood warning for my county in VA

 

[sporthenry]

Rendezvousing with the dump trucks and boats. Apparently people refusing to leave presumably in West AC.

Those who control the dump truck control the power. Yesssssss...

Very happy I bought that generator Thursday after looking at the computer models. It's all gassed up and ready to run the fridge plus TV/DVR/DVD/computer. And a couple lights, I guess.

Tomorrow could be epic -- searching for an open store to buy Assassin's Creed 3, then spending all day in the basement with my 14-year-old son playing AC3 on generator power.

Wildwood, NJ beach is 500 yards long from the boardwalk to the ocean. Waves are now breaking into the boardwalk.

i am not sure about anyone else but the mower can float away for all i care. I am concerned only about the well being of the tarp itselfit's like those unknown soldier guys, braving the storm to do its duty

i'd vote for that tarp

Might want to include the sump pump on that list, if you have one.

How bad could this storm really be, if weatherchannel guy is still standing on the dunes at Point Pleasant Beach, NJ ? Center of the beast only a couple hours away from hitting nearby.

From AP - Chincoteague under 3 feet of water

A curfew is in place on Virginia’s swamped Chincoteague Island as conditions are worsening amid a “superstorm.”The island’s emergency management coordinator, Bryan Rush, said the 3,500 islanders who decided to tough out Hurricane Sandy have been told to keep off the streets under a noon Monday curfew. He said the entire 37-square-mile island is underwater, 3 feet deep in some places.Some residents have had to be rescued from their homes and cars. There is no way off the island because a causeway to the mainland closed earlier Monday.The island has no emergency shelter.Rush said he expects conditions to worsen later Monday as winds of 50 mph lash the island. Winds could gust to 70 mph.

Sump pump has a marine battery back-up, but could plug it in if need be.

that sort of makes you wonder what the police are trying to hidei would not put it past the government to use this storm to do something really bad, i just lack the imagination to say what at this point
