Here Comes Sandy, what will you do???
I'm sitting in and going to watch the news all day. I have always wanted to see what it was really like to be in the middle of a Hurricane. I guess I am going to get my wish. Lets just hope the flooding and Power Outages are not as extreme as they are calling for. Stay safe everyone! Don't be a hero, protect yourself and loved ones. Good luck all!!!

Just staying inside and hoping the power doesn't go out, but we'll deal with it if it does. Unfortunately have a leaky basement to deal with so that's no fun. Be safe everyone!0

I'm at work. When it starts to rain and the wind starts blowing, I'll be here working. Then, I'll go home.
Same thing as every other "end of the world" storm that rolls through. Meh.0 -

same here. I'm still required to work, but once I'm home I'll be sitting on my front porch, drinking a beer, because that's what you do during a good storm in New England! lol0 -
at work on Long Island....0

It's funny.
Whenever I complain that it is really cold (IE: below 70 degrees), all you northern folks laugh at me and call me a wuss.
And now you are all freaked out over a little CAT 1 hurricane?
Grow a pair.
In all seriousness however, stay safe. I went surfing this weekend as a result of Sandy.0 -

Good luck with your leaky basement. I hope it's not too horrible. Good luck and stay safe!0 -
I'm in Ohio, so while we won't be as affected as those on the coast, we are dealing with the rain and high winds, (who would have thought it'd come this far inland!). I'm just sorry that it happened this time of year, my 3yr old is going to be very disappointed when it rains on "trick or treat" night! I hope everyone stays safe and dry!0

YES!!! This is what New Englander's do! Buffalo once had a mayor, Jimmy Griffon, who was famous for saying during a blizzard, "Stay inside, grab a six-pack and watch a good football game"0 -
Advice from a Florida Girl: never underestimate a good hurricane party. That's how we do it down here in the South
But really...stay safe.0 -

Work is closed for two days. Stocked up on beer and liquor. I have my party ready to go!0 -

Same here, but our temps are hovering right around the freezing point so they can't decide if we're going to get rain or snow. If it's snow it will be near blizzard conditions - which would make my kids happy because then they'll get a snow day. I have to laugh at OH weather, last week at this time it was 80 degrees and gorgeous - a week later we're bracing for a blizzard.
For all of you along the coastline stay inside and stay safe.0 -
Here is what it looks like about 200 yards from my apartment!

Looks pretty calm so far. Stay safe!0 -
Yeah, not bad at all yet. Winds about 20 mph with gusts to 30. Im going to go back out around 11 to see what its like.0

Once I am finally freed from my office, I am going right to my parents (my fiance and I and my cat are staying with them - they have a generator). Then I will pray that my office's hotline says not to go in tomorrow (although as a 12 year veteran of the company I know better than to get my hopes up).
I hope everyone stays safe and that everyone in the areas getting hit don't have to go out until it's safe to!!!!!0 -
I know some places called for evacuation, I hope you weren't part of it. If this Houston girl knows anything about hurricanes, it's get the hell outta Dodge before it gets too bad. Hopefully the storm won't be as bad as they are anticipating and there isn't much damage. Did you have to board up?0

No I didn't but some homes and businesses did. I did get bags to put infront of my ground level windows. But that was it. Of course I got flash lights batteries, ice, water and stuff. Normal survival. Not that I think I will need it but you never know!0 -

That's how it's done I've been through so many of these things I've realized the best thing to do once you've "hunkered down" is to have fun. Can't change it.0 -

Have to make the best of it! I have movies video games and if the power goes out candles and flash lights. Time to have fun!0 -
I am in MD and the rain and wind is crazy here. Kids are home from school. Just got my workout done! Now to keep the kids from killing each other!
Stay safe to those who are dealing with this crazy weather!0 -
Just hoping all you east coasters across the pond stay safe and sound take care all0

The worst part isn't the storm itself but the week after when the power is still out and you're making coffee on the grill and blow drying your hair with a generator.0 -
I"m just a few miles north of you, OP. At work but heading home before the worst of it gets here.
The news today had an earnest looking woman talking about how to explain the storm to your kids. Are you for real? "Kids, there's a storm coming." Probably 98% of today's kids over 2 would understand that.
The real problem? How to explain to your cat that she has to stay inside for two days. Now that's a problem.
MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW.
Already we're going crazy with it.0 -
Thankfully I don't drink coffee or blow dry my hair! lol I pray we don't lose power like that. Totally expecting it but hopefully not for a week.0
