Any news from our friends in NJ? I read that three towns were flooded after a levee broke.

No word from Brian but I have heard from another NJ friend.  He still has no electricity, Cable or Internet (he's using his wireless card in his laptop).

He was waiting for daylight to assess everything.

I sent Brian a text. I haven't heard back, but last I heard he lost power but was fine.

EDIT: Heard back. He's okay. Nothing but a lack of power and probably annoyingly loud wind.

Everything fine in Philly for the most part. I have some friends without power and a tree fell into my grandmom's yard, but nothing significant really has happened. Worst thing for me was a leaky window that I'll have to calk.

Another storm that sweeps past Florida. I'm on the Gulf Coast though.
 
Hope everyone is well.

That's good to hear.  I have family in Philly and I had been waiting to hear from them.

Real newscasters stand in the storm surge and tell America how dangerous the storm is and people should seek safety. How moronic. I want a better look at that 75 ton crane which is dangling in the wind....could you get a shot from underneath it looking up. I hope everyone and their families weather the storm.

We were supposed to get the tail end here in Central Ontario but other than higher than normal winds not much happened. The rain stopped around 10pm or so and the wind wasn't even bad enough to keep me up through the night. My neighbour probably doesn't appreciate all my leaves being on his yard though.LOL
Sadly a lady in Toronto did die from being hit with a flying sign last night. I feel for you guys on the north east coast. I'm sure the big cleanup starts today and what a job that will be.

Railroad tracks which are next to the turnpike in the North Jersey area were flooded and water currents pushed box cars on to the turnpike. Not sure of the exact area? It could be Monmouth county. In Ocean county there are houses sitting in the middle of either rt. 36 or rt, 35 which was a message my sister-in-law left just before her power was cut. We are lucky! I woke up at 8:00 pm to make breakfast for the kids and nothing was evident. No fallen trees, no floods, no power outages. A few surrounding towns in Salem County are without power. Sandy must have changed it's course of direction an hour or 2 prior to slamming Salem county and spreading to Philadelphia. There was not much of an impact in our area so I'm not quite sure just how and when it could have shifted. We are extremely lucky and I feel just horrible for people on the east coast who suffered it's wrath. The news reports are insane!

All good here,never even had the lights flicker and we still have water,phone,internet,cable,etc.Other than a small trickle in one corner of our basement that our sump pump took care of we didn't flood either.

Irene was WAY worse than Sandy.
