I can't see a thread about this here...
I wish everyone in America - who maybe affected by this - well. Keep safe. Edited by VanderGraafKommandöh - October 30 2012 at 06:14 |

Indeed. Keep safe if your on the US east coast.
I came here with the specific intention of starting a thread on this, as it looked so serious. I guess parts of the US are more than used to this kind of devastation, but am I right in thinking the hurricanes are a) not normally this big and b) don't often affect NYC? Anyway, I don't know if this will disrupt the election and what effect that may have on either candidate. Let's just hope the casualty figures are very low.

I heard from JJLehto (Brian) earlier and he's in New Jersey. He said
his lights had started flickering already. Hopefully everyone keeps
safe.
I don't know who exactly is in the east on these forums. I think Patrick is, as he's in Pennsylvania. Mike (Bluesaga from old) is also in New Jersey I believe. So I hope you keep safe. Don't do anything silly! Edited by VanderGraafKommandöh - October 29 2012 at 08:38 |

I think its ferocity depends on what happens if/when it meets the storm front coming in from the north.
Whatever happens, anyone in the affected area reading this - be careful people - hope all's well. |

Keep safe, East Coasters. Hope no one or none of your property is harmed.

I'm in Central Ontario and the worst for us is supposed to be 80 km winds and lots of rain tonight. Further south(130kms) in Toronto they are supposed to get 100 km winds and rain. Hopefully Brian(JJLehto) stays safe because i heard New Jersey is supposed to get the worst of this.

I'm in Washington, DC. We are getting a little wind and rain here, but nothing to write home about. I think the worst of the storm is passing to the north of us.

It's strange to be in Florida and having to ask people in other states about hurricane dangers...
Good luck all of you. |

Power went out for about 12 hours. Annoying, but after the 8 days we were without power last year because of Irene, it was nothing serious. Apparently the worst has yet to come though...

State of Emergency and everything closed in Philly. Nothing more than some scattered showers and light wind gusts so far.

It's been windy yesterday and today, but nothing major yet by me. The shoreline is already flooded and the storm hasn't hit land yet. I have no school today, and probably no work tomorrow, so I'm just going to be chilling online for as long as I can, then when the power goes out (hopefully it won't) I'll work on some homework.

Yes, the shoreline here in nj is already getting battered. Pics of pieces of the boardwalk floating throuhg AtlanticCity already circulating the net. Bit of a stuff breeze here. Expecting power to go out any time now. Should make for a fun 3 days.
Be safe all in its path!

So far it's not very sandy here in Massachusetts. Some wind and rain, but no sand.
Nothing to worry about yet.

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

We've got 20-30 mile per hour winds here in Michigan with gusts up to 40-50 MPH. Not hurricane force but still pretty nasty, especially since the temperature is in the low 40's. It sounds as though the waves on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are getting upwards of 20 to 30 feet high.
