Good Luck to Dogs in the NE

I know the wxr channel and others like to hype storms and all. But Sandy looks like a real bear. You dogs in the northeast will surely get a chance to practice your survival skills. Good luck to all of you.

Smoke and prayers.

fill up the gas tank and a gas can or two if you can

get as much water as you can

have cash! when the power goes out across a area there is no debit or ATM. be ready to purchase over a few weeks with cash things like ice, gas, food, and maybe even something as expensive as a chain saw or generator.

candles, batteries, radio, charcoal and/or gas for a grill, insect replellant... these are things that can help you deal with 2-3 weeks of being at home for an unknown amount of time without electricity.


hope it wont be that bad but if it does get rough being prepared will really help.

Just got the generator hooked up...

Part of me wonders just how many more trees can come down after last years storm?! But, I'm home- wife is in San Francisco worrying about her children. Calling out from a hospital job stinks, but gotta do what ya gotta do! Many schools are already figuring to be closed manana too...we'll see!

Hope to keep power and internet!

See ya Dogs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sandy sure looks like a monster on the loose. Good luck dogs.

Good luck to everybody! Stay safe.

Its pretty rainy and windy up here, the coasts are already flooded.

We have food, water and candles/flashlights.

I taped up the windows and packed a BOB with clothes, fak, flashlight and a few other things, but we expect to stay put until Wednesday.

Considering that my area is probably more at risk for looters and wrongdoers than extensive storm damage, I also made sure to keep some self defense items within easy reach and ready to rock.

Good luck to every body else out there, see you on the other side of Tuesday if power goes out.

Sounds like you have everything covered! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Im in the watertown NY area. Looks like we.are really.going to gey it

Well keep your head down GD.

Yes, all you folks up in the Northeast try and stay as safe as you can. Good luck with this thing.

Be careful up in the NE. Hope its not as bad as they say.

Hopefully all our brethren up there are prepared! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Best to all in harms way. Keep a channel open to the Big Guy for us <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It's getting nasty here. Power keeps blinking out. Gonna be a wild ride...

Good luck up there guys, stay safe

Good Luck and we will be praying for you on the left coast!!!

Stay Safe!

Wind has let up for a few.minutes

Good luck my friends we all will be thinking of you

Lets hear some sitreps boys. Im getting intersting reports from my people in New York and New Jersey.

Lots of wind. Lots of rain. Lots of trees going down in the area. Worst should be over in a couple hours. More than a quarter million people in the DC area are without power. Fortunately we aren't among them so far. Night is still young though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Knock on wood.

We had planned on getting a generator long before this storm pushed in--father in law is coming in a couple weeks and will help me install the transfer switch. Too bad it wasn't a couple weeks earlier <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well,so far I still have power and no damage,but......my KD hawk was supposed to arrive today.
Key words "supposed to".
Very minor inconvenience compared to some folks.
Prayers out to all that have not been as fortunate as myself.

Seems to be abating somewhat now. That should be a good sign...

Good to hear DT I hope the worst is over.

BUT, do you have to go through the back side of the storm?

Nope. We're done. And no worse for the wear....I think. Haven't ventured outside yet.

Well, that was kind of anti-climatic, just a little rain and wind here.

New Jersey shore points fared much worse, but of course NYC is all that the news is focusing on, despite it going relatively unscathed compared to the shore. But of course its the most important city in the world <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Best wishes going out to anyone who got hit worse than us, hope you're all safe and in one piece.

Glad you all are in good shape.

Seems like it has really been hit or miss in the east. I guess that should be expected with a storm this big. Glad you guys all seem to be OK.

Got power back a couple hours ago. Seems to have been a bad on for the CT coast. wife got her flights changed like 3x and will hopefully make it home tonight so i can get to work tomorrow! My boy is back to school today but my little girls daycare still has no power.

New generator worked great and I was happy to fire it up for a cup of coffee that 1st morning!

Glad to hear you got your cup of joe
