I pray everyone will be safe through this storm. My daughter, son in law, and grandkids are in Narragansett, RI just off the beach. Other than no electricity they are doing pretty good.

Mike- Thanks, that's a great weather info link.. :twothumbs:

Just entered the zipcodes of areas I wanted to check on, & up to the minute great details !!!

We are having effects of it here in Southern Michigan. Very high winds and freezing rain/sleet.

Its snowing down here in Ohio and high winds. Upwards of 55mph gusts. Q

Wow, watched the weather reports, off and on, for the past 2 days. I have a few relatives and many friends on the eastern seaboard. I wish them all the best......while I sit in my back yard in 90 degree weather and a fine Dominican cigar.:cool:

I live in Queens County NY and a tree fell right in front of my HHR. Luckily, the treetop just barely missed my hood and grill.

And yes, I did brave the storm to move my car back about 3 feet. :)

Checking in from Nassau County LI.... No power since Monday. Estimates are "up to 14 days minimal". Minimal gasoline available. Between stations that were in the middle of changing in-ground tanks, to Stations with out power-it is bad... No looting near me yet. Mossburg Persuader loaded n ready. Have basic food-cans of soup, raviolli, etc. A few full propane tanks for BBQ. Mini gel fuel stove (for wifes & girls hot cup of tea-world could be coming apart but it's ok if they can still have their tea) Have to say my world right now is roses in comparison. Part of my District is Far Rockaway-approximately 140 homes in one community are destroyed by fire & flood wipe out. Several of my Brooklyn areas near Coney Island are basically streets that have become beaches complete with sand. Long Beach which is not within my areas is devestated as well. I know Jersey got it bad as well. Kiss going to AC for the weekend goodby. I just hope everyone is as well as possible. Cars & homes can be replaced-loved ones cannot. 2 Employees living in areas that had to be evacuated unfortunately went into their homes and were drowned in their basements when sudden swells crashed into their homes and trapped them under debris in the basements. It was bad enough one, but 2 different employees in 2 different locations. Will give any future updates soon. I have to jump on the net from work as we have power.

NYC-Update. 14 of the 25+ subway line may be operational soon. Most still flooded with sea water. Sea water and electrical components dont make a good pair... Some busses running. Most of Queens, Brooklyn, Jamaica, LIC, Nassau main roads passable. Staten Island was hit bad but could have been worse. They were lucky only ONE tanker ran ashore! As of now the only area there shut down in my District is Mariners Harbor. The rest of you that were hit-HANG IN THERE!

Mike- Glad you & yours are OK. On the news, looks Extremely bad up that way..

My sister & family in Arlington, Va. only lost power for 26 hours.

Back in Fla. we would get hammered by a Hurricane & expect loss of power.
Longest was 9 nine days, & 2 weeks later got hit again, lost power for 7 days.,
But it was hot weather. BIG Difference.

Sorry to hear of the loss of the 2 employees, that is tragic..

You HANG in THERE too..
