Man I live in Ontario and even Im scared about whats happening here tonight :S
Me too. Normally I like a good storm but this one is making me a little anxious. I've charged my laptop, phone and ipad and have lots of water. Hope it's more hype than bite and everyone is safe.0 -
So we've had almost all our trees break and a few have broken and hit the house. Every tree that leads to a road has fallen and brought power lines down with it. Emergency services were here to try to help but these trees are hundreds of feet tall so there's not much to do by morning. A lot of rain starting to get a few inches of water nothing insane though. We are trapped from leaving but everything is ok. Guess we will see what happens In the am. How are you all doing?
fine here. nothing but some power surges. everything has stayed on though. again, i'm fortunate to be in one of the highest areas of the city. can't imagine living in lower manhattan.
glad you're doing ok!0 -
I hear a transformer exploded in manhattan. I hope it was a decepticon.0

I just went to put laundry in the dryer in case the power goes out seeing as Waterloo is out and there is water coming into my basement.....I feel nauseas and dont wanna go to sleep.0 -

CoachReddy check your car lol imagine if that goes boom like dynamite!:laugh:0 -
New Jersey here. Bergen County is blacked out AS USUAL, but we anticipated that and left yesterday. Hoping that when we go back we won't have damage. We're staying at my Mother in laws in Hudson county. Her town is on top of a huge hill so we're doing okay. A few power surges and of course crazy wind. it's really scary though.
Edgewater (directly across the river from manhattan) isn't so lucky. It's seriously underwater. I went to check it out earlier and it was pretty bad then. it's only gotten worse.0 -

I'm sitting here hoping and praying we don't lose power. I live in Philly and the wind is outside CRAZY! I also work in the education field so tomorrow will be day 2 with no work. The South Jersey shore is insane! Never seen anything like it. I worked out, did some work homework, followed the storm all day long, watched a little tv-I'M BORED!!!!!0

Anyone?0 -
Also in Ontario... Wind is intense --- someones wind chimes ended up in my apple tree and I heard a very loud cracking sound from the back part of my garden... Praying the 150 year old maple doesn't land on neighbours house.... My 12 year old filled every container and glass we own with water... Reminds me of that alien movie contact....0

getting drunnnnk! :P0

Pictures today from Sandy:
Seriously though stay say east coast!0 -
lolol some gotta love the internets0

How is everyone doing?
Still have power. A window broke in the house and it sounds like some siding was stripped and possibly part of the roof. A shed blew into the yard and various landscaping tools from the neighbor......The only really bad thing that occurred was my fiance's cat passed away in the early morning and we buried her before things started to get really bad. Hoping the rain didn't loosen the soil. I don't want to find her body floating somewhere else.0 -

I didnt prepare for anything at all because I really didnt think it would hit us this hard. Im such a wimp...I hate it.
Everyone is sleeping and Im here switching between MFP...the news, police scanner and facebook.0 -
I had to take down all my halloween decrations and chairs and stuff because I already lost a few decorations....Had to fetch my patio chair and get the recyling bins that were a few houses away. I dont care about my stuff...I really dont want someone getting hurt. Already a woman dead from a falling sign and a man dead from a fallen tree!0

I was watching a hand held web cam and saw that happen - then all the lights went out, later I saw a news item they were trying to rescue Con Edison workers from there that were trapped by flooding.0 -
Coincidence or cause/effect?
Interest in science and math souvirely decreases by about the same rate that hurricane deaths increase between 2000 and 2010.
I'd reckon to say that statistics speak for themselves.0 -
Anyone in the DC or Baltimore area want to chime in and share how things are going for you guys? I have family in that area, and we can't get ahold of anyone.0

For those of you still checking in - I'm still watching the news out here on the W Coast....
~~ Saw video of a man and his kids that had to escape out of their 2nd story window into sewage filled water surrounding their house - being saved by rescue personnel - (EVACUATION RULE #1 - ACTUALLY EVACUATE)
~~ Saw video of burning wires after a tree toppled near a house.... authorities said there was nothing that could be done other than just watch it (hopefully) burn itself out.... can't recall location
~~ Rockaway/Queens - video of people running from the boardwalk/waves.... (STUPID people just standing there.... seriously?)... water had to be 6ft high at one point
~~ Carroll Gardens (?)... a tree landing on what looked like a Jeep Cherokee....
~~ Reports of a man being killed by a falling tree - not sure where (news didn't say)
~~ Footage of a man that worked 20 years of his life to build a business, only to check on it after the worst of the rain to find furniture from the back of his business in the FRONT of the business... so he knows his entire business has been flood damaged. Guy said his house and family were fine, but the guy just lost everything he's worked for the last 20 years...![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
~~ There's a crane in Manhattan off of the expensive high rise and it is dangling off the side of the building. The crane was being whipped around by 100mph winds earlier and building inspectors (etc) say they will probably have to get another crane to get the damaged one down....
~~ Storm surge levels: The Battery - 13.88ft, Kings Point - 14.17ft, Sandy Hook - 13.31ft
Hoboken, NJ is repeatedly being shown on the news out here. Seems Hoboken really got pummeled by the storm..... there is a curfew now in Hoboken now through 1pm Tuesday.
Edited because I didn't complete a sentence up there!0 -
~~ The last time hurricane made landfall in NJ was in 1903... even though it's now being called a "NorEaster" (did I spell that right?)
~~ There's over 11 feet of water in the Brooklyn/Battery Tunnel
~~ Re: 8th Ave building collapse - no injuries or people trapped (wow)
~~ There's 4ft of seawater entering East River subway tunnels
~~ Hoboken, Madison & Marshall PSE & G substations are flooded
~~ Mayor Bloomberg has cancelled NYC Public Schools for Tuesday
~~ The Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of NY in Manhattan, Bronx and SI are closed tomorrow
~~ City Employees in NYC "should try their best to get to work tomorrow" (I SWEAR that was on the news!)
~~ Most of Atlantic City is under water & part of the Boardwalk has floated away....0 -
~~ 16 deaths associated nationwide due to this storm.....

Any updates from around New Haven, CT or Bergen County, NJ? I'm on the West coast but have family in those areas. I already read the news but sometimes it's better to hear reports from people who are there.0
