Seriously, good luck to everyone. It sounds pretty bad.

We lost power this morning for about 3 hours, winds are strong here too.

Seriously, good luck to all on the East coast.

Winds now over 60mph, kind of hard to see but the water in now coming over the sea wall..

The winds in Brooklyn are pretty intense right now, it sounds like an engine roaring down the street. But we pretty much missed all the heavy rain, and the trees and branches haven't come down yet. I know some areas got hit very hard, and we still have to get through the night when the storm is supposed to peak. And I hope we don't lose electricity, that would be bad. Our neighborhood is somewhat elevated so storm surge isn't a problem. But that wind sure is howling.

Sorry. Too soon?

We shook rattled and rolled 2 nights ago. Temps were 85 and dry but lost a couple of minutes of sleep when the beds were shaking from the quake.

Mostly just windy and wet as hell here, just outside of Cleveland.. Been pretty lucky so far Painesville as far as outages. Damn power's been flickering every 10-15 minutes or so though...Pretty much, in an increment that's about equal to the amount of time it takes the Cable box to reboot.. Been watching Married with Children DVD's all night, and anticipating some major weather tomorrow. Also, on a side note. Most of the local towns have moved Trick r treating to sunday. Try explaining that one to small children.

Four million people in Manhattan and Brooklyn lost electricity, and some will not see it go back on for a week. On Long Island, they are predicting it will be a week to ten days. And yet by some miracle we have electricity, internet connection, and no discernable damage outside. Somehow we dodged a bullet, and are ever so grateful.

I know some are not so lucky, and I hope everyone will be able to get through the next week. It was the terrible storm they predicted.

[glynparson]

same here all around me no power and I'm doing just fine. Yard is full of leaves and tree limbs but no damage, thankfully. I Hope others were as fortunate.

We live just North of Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. Our house is surrounded by many tall oaks; and, about 8:30 last night two oaks crashed down on us.
The bigger oak just missed the house, but the smaller one hit us. What a mess....our deck was partially damaged and the roof of the upper garage is damaged.

This storm has to be one of the most destructive storms to hit the mid-Atlantic region in many a moon. Millions within a 900 mile swath up and down the coast
are still without power.

It will be a happy day when we get back to normal....whenever that occurs.

Well as long as he protected the rest, then it's all worth it

My view from Hoboken...Hudson River is very choppy, winds are really picking up, tide is high. be safe everyone.

Al, is that Milford?

[mark evans]

Pretty wet in the D.C. area. But, the real worry is tonight's winds. I'm braced to lose power, which happens with some frequency in my older neighborhood. Just so long as no tree falls on my house.

Just returned from a ten mile excursion. Landfall expected here on the north shore of Suffolk County, Long Island, in about an hour. It's already like a ride at Disney Land/World. As Jeff Goldblum more or less said in Jursassic Park, "Yes, but at Disneyland the pirates don't eat the humans." (or something like that). Already over 100,000 w/o power. Keep the faith.

I wlil be Praying for You ALL!

I grew uP on Long Island and I heard that this type of Storm only rears it's Ugly Head every 1000 years! The Only "Sandy" that I know is a real sweetheart of a gal... Hopefully, this has some meaning ;-)

Hang in there fella's...

As Always...
