Re: Nasty Storm East Coast
Well, my first post on the storm below, did not do good for us and our neighbors. We lost our electric on Monday and got it back on late Thursday. We still had phone service. Trees down in the neighborhood, we just had big branches fall, which none hit the cars. Some hit the roof of the house and the garage, as we heard them hit during the night. The street looked like a war zone and the whole area was dark. Since we have well water we lost that also. There are still areas north of Philadelphia without power, so again we were and are lucky. We had a light show in our area as all the transformers on the electric poles were blowing, We were seeing Red, Purple,Blue and Green flashes in the sky as they blew. Total darkness at night for three nights Now NJ is another story, lots and lots and lots of damage in the shore areas..Joe I hope everyone on the East Coast remains OK.

Part of the reason the police are trying to stop people from getting to their homes is ongoing natural gas leaks from destroyed homes - the fear of igniting a fire.

Re: Nasty Storm East Coast
We got incredibly easy here in Toronto. Winds started yesterday afternoon into last night were fifty to sixty km/h (30-40 mph) with gusts up around 80 km/h. No big whoop. The rain was heavy at times but nowhere near the 100 mm they warned of. We got only about 10 mm here in town. Sadly one casualty; a store sign blew off a wall killing a passerby. It's been a bit windy in and off during the day but just mild gusts. A teeny bit of rain but we actually saw some blue skies! Apparently some parts of southern and western Ontario got slammed pretty good. Glad to hear that all on this list are accounted for and okay.

Re: Nasty Storm East Coast
Well unfortunately there are people along the coast of Long Island that considered IRENE a fizzle and are non-chalanting Sandy. One news reporter, I think in Far Rockaway, said that 80% of the population there are not going to evacuate even though they are in a manditory evacuation zone. Oy. ann On 10/29/2012 10:08, Darren Addy wrote: Sandy is definitely interesting to watch from afar (and glad I'm far away). I would say that the biggest problem for most will be the power outages (some estimates put it at 10 million without power). With trees that still have leaves, heavy rain (or snow, as in WV) combined with high winds mean lots of snapped branches and if those branches are over or near power lines you've got an outage. Other than that, the coastal region NORTH of Sandy's center (I won't say eye because she will probably be post-tropical by the time she reaches land) will be hardest hit by the storm surge (especially if/when combined with full moon high tides). West Virginia mountains are probably looking at a historic amount of thundersnow, but that is probably better than dumping all of that water directly into overtaxed streams and rivers. The question is: how far into the lowlands will also see snow and where the temperature line will set up for the snow to rain transition in northern WV? A number of storm chasers will be chasing Sandy, which I think is stupid on multiple levels. For one, visibility will be non-existent so whatchagonnasee? This storm could take a good number of human lives and, unfortunately, those out in in or on the roads are the ones that are putting themselves most at risk. Leave your stalled car in the West Virginia blizzard and you stand a good chance of dying. Pile-ups resulting from poor visibility and downed trees and powerlines will probably also happen. Particularly in populated areas being out on foot will also be dangerous as anything that isn't nailed down is going to be several counties away before the wind stops blowing. Getting hit by anything that is windblown at 60+ mph is not going to be fun. Hope all in Sandy's path will just hunker down with plenty of flashlight batteries and candles and some good books and enjoy the fact that nobody expects them to be anywhere for a while. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Nasty Storm East Coast
Well, PA. NJ. and NY are expecting very bad weather. Earlier today I was up on the roof cleaning the rain gutters as we have a lot trees on our property and just hoping they remain standing.

Re: Nasty Storm East Coast
I'm not expecting much from the actual rain, but storm surge and streams/dams overtopping should be interesting. Parts of my town tend to flood, but I doubt that my house will get much. I drive for work, so we'll see how many doctor's offices actually cancel appointments.

Re: Nasty Storm East Coast
We are also in the Boston area, to the south, along the coast... all's pretty quiet so far. But, school has already been cancelled for tomorrow... luckily, I was able to hide this information from the kids until all their homework was done! We did a pre-storm gutter clean-out, too. Lots of trees around, hoping this isn't the storm that brings one of them down on the house or cars... Other than that, we've prepared by doing all the laundry running the vac - advice my mother gave me long ago. Wouldn't want to sit around a messy house with no clean clothes if the power goes out. :) Good luck to all, especially those right in Sandy's path! :) -c On Sun, Oct 28, 2012 at 9:23 PM, jn289 jn...@verizon.net wrote: Well, PA.

Re: Nasty Storm East Coast
Philly is shut down as of midnight: all transit stopped, all airlines' flights cancelled, schools and colleges and universities closed, state of emergency in effect allowing only essential travel. I live a mile from work, so I plan to suit up in my GoreTex and trudge in. If things are quiet and well-covered, I'll trudge home again. Many of my colleagues live in the 'burbs, though, and I have often wound up covering for them in blizzards (precious few hurricanes, fortunately).

Re: Nasty Storm East Coast
I'm lucky -- certainly Manhattan is in the path, but I'm in a part of Manhattan is one of those places family who are in zone A would want to come to stay, if I had any such :-) My best friend's son and his wife are in a building in lower Manhattan that has manditory evacuatlion but they are in a building that has a backup generator and are on the 4th floor and last I heard were not going to budge... last year they did and it fizzled. unfortunately that attitude is being displayed a lot here. A shame. Crossing fingers I don't lose power... which is not as unlikely as I'd like it to be because of all the dug up streets around here and recent cable outages. I certainly won't be going out tomorrow! lots of debris flying around is likely. Wind whistling outside already. now, back to Words with friends and storm watching tv Guess I will have to apply myself to get Brian a PUG entry :-) ann On 10/28/2012 21:49, Christine Nielsen wrote: We are also in the Boston area, to the south, along the coast... all's pretty quiet so far.
