MrObsessive Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Just a shout out to you fellas that are along the east coast and this HUGE storm about to pummel those of us here! Tropical Storm Lee from last year is still very fresh on my mind as my house was flooded. Already we have heavy rain and gusty winds, and I'm on the outer fringes of the storm (Central PA). There's the possibility of the power going out----if that's the case I can look forward to a mess again, as there will be no place for the water to go, despite having a sump pump in the basement. At least I might be able to get some building done.................provided the power stays up and running through all of this. Take care all and be safe!
sjordan2 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Everyone should just chill and follow the wise counsel of that straight-thinking paragon, Lindsay Lohan, as she expressed in yesterday's Tweet. Lindsay, who lives on Long Island, said: “WHY is everyone in SUCH a panic about hurricane (i’m calling it Sally)..?” she tweeted Sunday night. “Stop projecting negativity! Think positive and pray for peace.” I am also renaming one of my favorite songs, "Mustang Sandy." Edited October 29, 2012 by sjordan2
VW Dave Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Irene gave us a real rough way to go last September, and word is Sandy might not be much easier on us....battened down the hatches and charged up my son's portable DVD player, now it's time to keep our fingers crossed.
JustBill Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 The way it looks now NY is gona get smacked pretty hard. I'm down here in Maryland and we're already getting flooding, power outages, wind with trees down, and Ocean City is under water. They have also closed most major bridges. I got water in my basement last year from Irene and almost took me six months to rebuild. My model room and two bedrooms are in the basement. Keeping a close eye on things with this storm. Hopefully power stays on. Wishing everyone else the best.

peekay Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 My brother lives in a beach house in NJ and has a Johan 59 Chrysler promo that he was about to send on to me. (Yes, I'm worried about his house too) Seriously though, my thoughts are with all those threatened.
rel14 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 CYA, god be with you all, live in Fl. now what your going through. Are Prayers are with you
bbowser Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 We got hammered by Irene so this doesn't look very promising!
glusnifr Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) here in mass ,had a big ol' pine tree come down to the left of my home ,pretty stormy right now .thanks for your well wishes and everyone in its path be safe ,hopefully you wont lose power so you can still glue stuff to other stuff.. jim Edited October 29, 2012 by glusnifr
Foxer Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Hope all yas with trees down already are doing ok! I'm in the Berkshires of Massachusetts and we're sticking up highest in front of the winds coming from the southeast.. I'm on North Mountain but on the other side the winds are hitting. They've been pretty strong since afternoon and I've heard reports of 70mph gusts in Pittsfield. I am amazed at the sound of the wind coming from the top of the mountain (really just a hill) .. it's sounds like a jet ready to appear over the crest .. amazing roar. So far we're lucky with just a few branches in the yard and power still going. Hardly any rain to speak of. Sandy has disappeared as the real threat is the huge Nor'easter she merged with!
charlie8575 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I'm not sure where Jim is, Mike is well west of me. In Marlborough (35 miles or so west of Boston,) we lost power in a bunch of places, and a large tree fell on one house according to reports from the elderly man who's the greeter at Wal-Mart, which shut down Rt. 85 going into Marlborough from Hudson, where Wal-Mart is. Our house lost power at about 5:00, and I'm up in Leominster (about 20 miles north and slightly west,) where there's power and dinner at Denny's. Dad went to Mom's semi-assisted-living apartment in Waltham to help her out and stay there for the evening. I might bunk in with a friend around the corner if it stays messy. I can say with relative certainty that school will be canceled tomorrow. Charlie Larkin
outragis Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Things are going to get windy and wet later on, Irene did the most damage in Vermont last year, hoping this is not the same! good luck to all!
glusnifr Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 im in middleton .a very large oak fell on rt 114 at the middleton-danvers line this afternoon , closing it for awhile so it could be cleared away
charlie8575 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I'm still sitting up in Leominster waiting for my laptop to recharge and contemplating going around the corner to see if I can bunk in with a friend of mine here. The leaves are rustling on the trees pretty good. There were a few down branches, and Clinton St. in Berlin was closed, forcing me to go up the nearly unlit portion of Rt. 62 along the Clinton-Berlin line. There's a Mass Electric guy at the counter...I may ask him if he knows what the status is for Marlborough yet. Charlie Larkin
uncle potts Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Living in Iowa don't look so bad at times like these.
bbowser Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Okay first of all, am I really the only one who wishes Lindsay would get in her car with Paris Hilton and the Kardashians and just drive off a cliff? Secondly, where I live the way things work is that about two days after the storm is over...that's when our power will go out! LOL. And maybe wash Snooki out of Jersey!
glusnifr Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 the people that like to come to new england to see the foiliage might as well stay home. after this storm there wont be a leaf left..
Foxer Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Secondly, where I live the way things work is that about two days after the storm is over...that's when our power will go out! I saw that WV had SNOW from the storm ... we're basking in temps in the 60's up north!
mikemodeler Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Take care and be safe to all of those in the path of the storm. Here in Charlotte NC we are getting high winds and cold temps but no rain. I hope that whatever predictions of destruction the talking heads on TV claim are exaggerated and no members here suffer any losses. A little concerned for my son who is at school in Vermont as that area took a beating with Irene last August and this looks to be as bad, if not worse.
Modelmartin Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Living in Iowa don't look so bad at times like these. Or Minnesota, too!

Bill, Just pack up the car and come on out to Minnesota! We have not had much snow in the last few years. We are practically in the Banana Belt the way Global warming is going!
Patrick2005 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Its not so bad here right now, but then again it's Pennsylvania so I'm sure that will change in about 5 minutes!
1930fordpickup Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 It is blowing hard here in Michigan but this is another storm . Sister in DC said it was raining sideways tonight. Be safe out east we are thinking about all of you .
