Official Hurricane "Sandy" thread. Are you guys okay along the (North) EAST COAST?

AK370Z · 10-29-2012, 08:23 AM

It's been a very stressful last few days for us North Eastern residents. Hurricane Sandy has made our life pretty much hel*. Yesterday we were told to evacuate(mandatory) our home. I'm typing this post from a hotel room far away from home with a wifi connection that keeps going on and off

. Hurricane Sandy doesn't hit our city till 8p-midnight tonight but we are going to see the strongest wind since our city falls right in the center of Sandy

. Here's picture taken few minutes ago. Sandy tore off part of the Boardwalk and it's flooding everywhere in my city and the hurricane is not even in my city yet! It's about 300 miles away.

80 feet piece of boardwalk floating free on flooded water 1/2 mile from my house

35 foot section of boardwalk floating down 15 blocks from my house

We are also looking at DAYS of power outage after the hurricane leaves.

How are you guys doing along the east coast?

Good luck, guys. Theyre no fun.

good luck

Dealing with her right now. Luckily my Airport is shut down so I have a paid day off today and possibly tomorrow.

I live in West Texas and have no issues with floods, so excuse my inexperiance. But what do you guys do with your vehicles in this situation? I cant grasp the idea of everything you own just getting washed away, good luck and we'll be sure to send a prayer.

Get them to higher ground if you can... otherwise... insurance.

Winds starting to pick up here. Supposed to get our most intense winds later this afternoon and into tomorrow morning... hopefully nothing too bad. It's gonna be worse for everyone farther up north.

Stay safe guys!

Seeing as how this storm covers hundreds of miles, I'm not sure you can move your car in time either.

I saw on the news this morning that electric companies are sending crews up there today to help get any power outages resolved quicker. I know there are a couple companies down here in FL sending crews to the FL east coast as well as up to NY etc. I think Okalahoma is also sending people. Hopefully these efforts help out as much as they're planning.

Stay dry!!

ChrisSlicks · 10-29-2012, 09:58 AM

Sorry you got evacuated AK, but better safe than sorry. It looks like it is going to be hitting NJ, DC, NYC pretty hard so stay safe everyone. Boston looks like it will escape the worst of this one, I expect to lose power but I'm fine with that.

Stay safe warm and dry!

Ga Power just sent a number of crews north. A few of my buddies got the call last night and are headed that way to stage and get prepared with the clean up.

speedfreek · 10-29-2012, 02:09 PM

At least you and your Z are safe from the storm AK. That's trying to look at it glass half full. I can't imagine the amount of damage all the flooding and wind is going to have caused when it is all said and done. I hope everyone is safe that is in the line of these storms. This reminds me of last year when all the tornado's (or naders as some southerners refer to them) tore through Alabama. We were without power for over a week! All you can do at that point is protect yourself and ride it out and then let the insurance fix any damages as things come back online.
