Wish us luck here on the East Coast with the storm!

I have no power, but no damage to report...I am very lucky. At a good friends house now...hope everyone is safe.

Long Island got destroyed. I am a Police Detective in Suffolk County and the devastation on the South Shore is incredible. Some areas will never recover. This storm will probably be the most costliest ever. Stay safe everyone! CN

A little good news on my end! After 2 days of no power or water we now have both.. the ferry service in front of us is also running at limited times to WTC and 39th street. I hope everyone else affected a safe and speedy recovery!!

We're in Northern Virginia, about 35 miles NW of DC and we made it through the storm with no damage and no loss of power - just high winds and lots of rain. Glad the storm didn't turn out to be as bad as they expected for our area. Our hearts and prayers go out to those in NY, NJ and other hard hit areas. Stay safe!

Got our power back today. 200,000 out of 300,000 Orange and Rockland Customers lost power. We ended up with our neighbors shed in our backyard, but sustained no real damage. The homes along the Hudson River (about a 1/2 mile from us) are essentially gone. Schools closed for at least this week.

The visuals I’ve seen from NYC, Jersey, and Long Island are unreal...

This picture is the Jersey Shore town of Lavallette, taken from the air this morning. This is about two miles from Seaside Heights, where the roller coaster was washed into the ocean. My wife's family has a house on the right edge of the picture along the beach, and this was the first evidence we had that it was still standing.

Considering some of the devastation we saw on the news from a couple of miles in either direction, this was some good news to see that there is a chance that the summer home can be salvaged.

I live on south shore of long island... water surrounded my house.. I had 3 ft of water in every room.... the house is no longer livable.. and wont be for some time.. I was only renting.. but with no flood insurance on my possessions the damage is terrible.

thankfuly one of the few things that went undamaged was my card collection. But I will be living out of my parents in laws house for the next 30-60 days while I figure out what to do next...

had to leave that night at 9pm out of my window.. with my wife.. and a backpack with my card collection.. no joke... into a boat with the fire department.. to dryer ground.. it was intense.
