same reaction here Ron. Glad we lucked out.

Lost power at 10am well before things got serious. Probably won't get it back until tomorrow sometime maybe longer. Hey at least the internet is working for now and I have a generator. Waiting for the stronger winds to hit MA, so far it has just been raining like a MF with the occasional squall. I have a lot of trees in my yard unfortunately. Fortunately I did take down several early this year.

this winds passing us on the island now goin towards you, local news stations are showing some high numbers, but noaa shows way lower, which is who i have always gone by. They arent that horrible. Hopefully it will die down even further before it hits you

Haha got a call from my brother this morning , I'm already I'm puerto Rico waiting for boat to leave and he said for about 3 hours it rained hard like it would when it Downpours for a few minutes normally. With a little extra winds.

I picked up a used 6m sport pkg 135i with an 100k bumper to bumper warranty. Has 46k on it already but drives and feels newer than my Z did. Gonna like it I can tell. Def will upgrade LSD at some point tho.

All NE Zs should be fine.

Yeah power has been out for more than 5 hours now, stats show over 4 million people are without power, and some places got up to 4 feet of water. couple downed trees where I live, but nothing major, and o yeah the Z is safe.

What kind of bumper to bumper warranty is it? How much was it?

EazyD · 08-28-2011, 03:44 PM

I bought a can of tuna for THIS?????

ChrisSlicks · 08-28-2011, 04:59 PM

I bought two cases of beer and an extra bottle of scotch just in case. Nothing too bad, we've had worse in shorter bursts before. Couple of downed trees so I'm still without power probably until the morning.

Or the morning after next, or the morning after the morning after next or the morning after the morning after the morning after next ... Hopefully you get the power back soon Chris

The ice storm this last winter I lost it for 6 days. In the middle of winter that really sucks, this time of the year not so bad. I'm not going to let it get me down, still headed off to the rack track tomorrow for 2-days of automotive mayhem.

birdmanx1 · 08-28-2011, 07:31 PM

Cool deal man, have fun at the track

m4a1mustang · 08-28-2011, 08:06 PM

Well we definitely lucked out here in NOVA. Just rain and some wind... seems like it stayed more to the west than they initially thought.

somatic · 08-29-2011, 08:43 AM

i think the storm system affected the weather over here in tx...weve been having a drought, and out of nowhere its pouring here in dallas

Nick911sc · 08-29-2011, 10:10 AM
