Gov Cuomo announced that the major bridges in the NYC metro area will be closing at 7:00pm/ including GW, Throgs Neck, Whitestone, Verrazano, etc.
The Holland and Brooklyn-Battery Tunnels closed at 2:00pm. No word on the Lincoln Tunnel. It will soon be virtually impossible to get out of Manhattan; no subways, no buses, no trains, bridges and tunnels closed.

Go to picture 20 to see the real status of Statue of Liberty.

Just checking in - so far other than no power at home, the other locations are good so far, I log into their close circuit TV system, if it's off we drive out and start the generators.

Going to have dinner in our RV, the house is getting cold need to get the fireplace going.

This sucks, but others are in greater danger in S NJ.

Worst Storm Ever in the Northeast
 
You know this storm is a biggie when the stock market is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

It's worst than the storm of 38 and stronger.

My thoughts and prayers to all those that are affected by this storm.

Stay safe and out of harms way :pray:

Going to delete the fake Statue of Liberty storm picture and all posts that reference it. There's no reason to get people alarmed when there is and will be plenty of actual tragic news to come.

we have a heavily treed piece of property so we parked our RV and cars across the street in an open field.

Had to walk about 300', boy is it windy, got into the RV to have dinner it was rocken & rollin too much to relax, so we took all the hot food back to the house.

It is gusting 60+ without a doubt.

Just got word two of our building went dark trying to get the geny's going.

Not much sleep tonight.

Oh one tree snapped in half about 20' up, dark now so can't see anything else.

Oh fun.......:cus:

Where is njbchbum? I'm worried about her. She hasn't been heard from since early this morning. If you can, let us know what's happening.

Patty55 10-29-2012 06:35 PM
A lot of people have cable/voip service and when the power is out they have no service.

I HATE THAT.
