Hi Kadd.
People are already talking about how much worse Sandy will be than Katrina
They just reported the first official death in this storm. Hope y'all will be safe.
My sister decided we'll all be safe if we watch harry potter. Girl logic....
Stay safe all, hope you folks in the path of it stay unhurt and get you power back soon!

👍
Quick Update: power is still out, probably won't be back on till Thursday. A gigantic tree fell through my backyard, knocking down the fence, no one is injured.
Several trees have fallen down on mostly evey street surrounding me, so I will not be able to work tomorrow (which has lost power as well). Supposedly the hurricane should be over in the evening tomorrow, it's about 12:30 now, so like 14 more hours is waiting for this to be over.
Hope everyone else is safe and secure. A few things breaking is nothing, people getting hurt always sucks. Turning off my phone to conserve some power. Good night from New York.
Hope you stay safe man!
Still don't see why y'all are freaking out, then again, I was in NOLA for Katrina....

Doubtful. I can still show you the water line from Katrina, or entire neighborhoods that still lay in rubble. ...
But then, I am from the south, we rarely even close the public schools for a category 1 anymore.
Morning update: I'm pretty much land locked. Major parts of town were flooded, but the storm seems to have subsided. Isn't technology great? Charging my phone in my car, using 4G. No power till Thursday and beyond. My car didn't get flooded, I thought for sure water would flood my motor through then intake I have on.
Got a kindle with 300 books on it, got plenty to do. Be easy everyone.
I think im in the eye of the storm, cuz yesterday it was crazy but now theres no wind

Light up the pit! Everything in your freezer/fridge will be going bad in a couple days.

Im in north LA. We close schools if you even mention "snow" or "huricane-like winds."

Colorado. People will still go to school with 2-3 inches, as long as the roads are clear

Lol that's what I was gonna say. I was down south in a small town and they had a snow dusting and the town was closed. In Chicago there has to be about a foot of snow to close stuff.

Yeah man. People in my city dont know how to act. They hear "possible snow" and "torrential downpours" and it shuts their brains off and they go full on panic mode. Which is funny, considering the last time anything major happened was in '99.
In minnesota, where we dont have to worry about earthquakes or hurricanes, our school is only closed when there is over 20 in of snow.

This times a million. I go to school in the Anoka-Hennepin district too, so we haven't had a snow day in 10+ years. Yes, even when it was snowing over 3 in per hour and winds were gusting into the 50's.
Up here in Canada well, I remember we had to walk to school 15 Kms, in -45 Celsius! UP HILL! Both ways!

Ohio closes school with an inch of snow...lol
Man I saw a pic of the 176 station on Jerome with the water up to a cars window, and Tony's on the city island pier burned up. Heard there was a coned plant explosion too. I'm in San Diego but I'm from NYC

Where in Ohio are you? In Cleveland when I was in gradeschool, we closed for nothing. 18 inches of snow? Go wait at the bus stop, kid, its lake effect, deal with it. Bomb threat? Everyone stay in class. Cleveland don't care :P now I'm in Columbus, they still leave it open through most bad weather.

Snow is a completely different animal, couple inches just about shuts the state down, where are you located? I am in laffy.
Strange twist of events, I may be headed up as an NCO with hurricane experience to help the guard units responding in the area. Will only be the sec
Second time this year. Phone spasm.

Yes indeed we do, our weather is ridiculous
My school district is stupid. My sister (she's in elementary) gets off because one of the other 10 elemantary schools had a power outage for an hour.

Marietta, huh? ;) my brother went to college there, now he works there and lives just over the river in WV. Seems like a nice town, but yeah, you guys don't get lake effect from Erie down there lol
hope you didn't get too much bad weather from sandy! I hear the snow stuck down there
I live on Long Island in New York and I still have no power. Just got called into school to clean up anything that is broken or ruined. Brooklyn was hit bad. There are trees still on power lines here. I can't imagine what jersey shore is like and Staten Island. I know my area was hit bad.

Seaside got hit really hard. The roller coaster from the pier is in the ocean. Long beach island which was the barrier island protecting my neck of the woods. Was decimated. House ripped off foundations flooded out and the storm left over two feet of sand on the main boulevard. Atlantic city is still pretty much closed down right now as well.
