    I'm in PA near the Maryland border...
    It's pretty nerve wrecking. All public transportation has been shut down in New York, Phily...Lots of New Jersey is being evacuated.
    My work still has us here though! LOL With all that...-shake my head-
    Hopefully my Chevy will float me home if there's an issue.
    I dont think it'll even get that far west.

    I'm in CT. Our governor was on the news tonight and said this storm is the greatest threat to human life CT has ever experienced. Very scary. Virtually the whole coast has been evacuated. Storm surge and flooding will be the issue there. Inland where we are the winds will be the issue.

    We lost power for 6 days this very weekend last year with the October 2011 freak snow storm. This one sounds much worse :(


    To everyone in its path.....heed the warnings and stay safe. Better to regret being over prepared for something that doesn't occur than under prepared for something that does occur!

    i hope ya'll stay safe and will be prayin for the coasts safety!


    but,isnt it a catergory one?
    ya'll its basically nothing.i've slept through a category 1 and a category 2 hurricane..
    maybe a few powerlines,stuff flown everywhere from the windor trees down and if you live on the beach it might be a little worse
    and it is smart to evacuate if you live in the low lying area's.
    but,i really cant see how its being called the "greatest threat to human life"

    breathe. it's going to be fine,im sure.

    Having been in Grenada when hurricane Ivan hit in 2004 I remember the fear and devastation. I hope that you will all get through this difficult time unscathed and that damage to your property will be minimal. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Im in southern New Hampshire and I have to say, Im glad that the 'experts' finally got it right and stayed on top of this whole Hurricane/TS Sandy situation. They left us with no appropriate warnings last year and too many were greatly affected by the disaster that Irene brought us. Our own utilitiy carriers were HORRIBLE - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE last year and took their sweet *kitten* time to get the work done because they didnt even bother to prepare - thus receiving a sanction and fines - and rightfully so!

    This time, they are prepared (crossing my fingers). But its up to everyone to be prepared for the absolute worst, even if it turns out to be a gentle storm.

    A large portion of New England will have the strong winds and rain. The winds are supposed to average 40-50mph but have gusts up to 65mph from the last recent reports. *******That will hit hard.********


    I have friends and family all up and down the eastern seaboard and non-coastal states of the eastern side - from what Ive seen in several news stations, many communities are coming together to do the best that they can to take the necessary precautions. THAT is awesome!

    I do ask this though... if you know of people in your community who are oxygen-dependent, who are mobility-compromised, who are extremely ill, considering extending a helping hand. See if they need help, as often it is difficult for them to be as prepared as everyone else. If a utility worker/police officer comes knocking on your door - you can share that information with him/her to let them know of the neighbors who may require being checked on.

    Know your routes of driving before the fertilizer hits the fan.

    Be smart: if you dont have to go out - dont.

    Sending good thoughts, wishes for safety for all of us that will be affected....
