Massive flooding in lower manhattan, fires in subways, all residents ordered inside. Con-Ed has turned off power in that area. The 911 system is over-loaded. LaGuardia Airport closed due to flooded runways. The Hugh Carey tunnel has been closed due to flooding. People trapped in cars floating down streets in lower manhattan.

In Baltimore at 2116 Temp is 47, winds between 25-40mph. Miracle of miracles we still have power, although many around us are now out.
|
I am getting quite worried about many of our TV posters. Hope all are safe and well. Jimbo, I know you lost power, just wanted you to know we are thinking about you and hoping all is well. Also Rona, Bill, NJBchbum and all else who are impacted. You are all in our prayers:pray: be safe, my friends.

Our son in Staten Island has not had power all night Grandchildren in Pocono's are out too.......... Prayers that all are well! |
For anyone who doubts the impact of this storm... I live in the north suburbs of Chicago, along Lake Michigan. Tonight we are expecting winds of 50-60 mph, a direct result of Sandy. Navy Pier will be closed tomorrow, and all trails along the lakefront. There is a chance they will close Lake Shore Drive/Sheridan Road if the waves come over the breakwater and pound the pavement... I can only imagine with much trepidation what others are going through right now. Hope all are safe!

Sleepless in NY, we are all almost ok, my sons house on the water is now level with the water part of his bulkhead may be gone, has waves on his lawn.
His floor is vibrating with the wave action, it's too late for him and his kids to leave, but the wind is abating, and the tide should go down, he has a geny going. Also can if really needed go to his neighbor, but walking in the dark with power lines down is more risk than sitting tight. He refused to leave when he should have :cus: My other two sons one lost power the other has power. The biz are running on geny's all ok there. Very little rain just high water in low areas this afternoon wind was 45 gusting to to 67. Now about 30-40. Can't wait till morning, batteries running low, thanks for your prayers and concern, we'l get thru it. . |

Family in Brooklyn no landline, cable or internet, but cell phones are okay. Lights flickering. Wind pretty intense. No public transportation so everyone is home for the duration.
|
Family in New Hyde Park has no power. Family in East Northport also no power and fallen tree damage to house and two cars. Hang in there gang! Thoughts and prayers are with you guys!

NEPA (Wilkes-Barre, Bear Creek Area) was lucky. My kids report power out, some trees down, minor damage to their homes from the wind. Son's neighbor has a tree ready to fall on house - guys are out trying to pull it away from the house. That is all I know so far.

Many, many prayers coming your way:pray:from those of us who are so concerned about all of our TOTV friends along the eastern seaboard. Jimbo, Patty55, NJBchbum, 2b, Rona & Bill, and all those I have inadvertently left out. We pray for your safety and wish you well through the devastation. Hope you are all safe and warm and do not have too much damage. Post back to us when you are able and know we are thinking of all of you. Be safe.

Saw some pictures on my Facebook of a shark swimming near a home in New Jersey. Quite a sight. A poster mentioned that it was a nurse shark which is harmless to humans. http://www.inquisitr.com/380406/shar...ds-new-jersey/

110,000 without power in RI. Newport, Narragansett, and down route 1 to Westerly got hit bad. Coast Guard House in Narr got damaged. Narragansett sea wall got taken out in some spots. Ocean Blvd in Newport closed for several days to cleanup damage.
|
Everything is ok with me. No power loss and no damage.
Massive damage in the tri state area as subways are under water and water is rushing into a tunnel, (don't know which one). Boats separated from their mooring and fires in some areas. Atlantic City is under water. Sandy was a doozie. Thoughts and prayers for everyone's safety. :pray: |
