I don't know how far inland Sandy will get.We might get some or not :confused:
The last hurracane we had it was sunny out so who knows.:wtf: |
Like I said in the daily blog, us here in Southeast Michigan are just starting to feel the effects of Sandy. Rain is starting to move in to the Detroit metro area and suppose to increase as the day goes on with wind gusts up to 50-60mph. High wind warnings or wind advisories starting at noon today. 10-33 ft. waves on the Great Lakes, due to the storm, and the rain could mix with snow at times in some parts of Michigan.

Sandy Gains Power, Aims for Northeast
The epic superstorm threatens 50 million people By Associated Press Updated Monday, Oct. 29, 10:35 a.m. http://www.blogcdn.com/weather.aol.c...park-story.jpg Waves wash over the sea wall near high tide at Battery Park in New York on Monday. (AP) NEW YORK (AP) - Gaining strength and threatening 50 million people, Hurricane Sandy chugged north Monday, raking ghost-town cities along the Northeast corridor with rain and wind gusts. Subways and schools were closed, the floor of the New York Stock Exchange was deserted, and thousands of people fled the low-lying coast. Forecasters expected the monster hurricane to make a westward lurch and aim for the coast of New Jersey, blowing ashore Monday night or early Tuesday and combining with two other weather systems to create an epic superstorm. Its projected path put New York City and Long Island in the danger zone for a huge surge of seawater made more fearsome by high tides and a full moon. PHOTOS ON SKYE: Superstorm Kicks Up Waves, Threatens Coast http://www.blogcdn.com/weather.aol.c...a-foam-300.jpg"This is the worst-case scenario," said Louis Uccellini, environmental prediction chief for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Because the storm is so big, with tropical storm-force winds extending almost 500 miles from its center, it could upend daily life for days for people from the East Coast to the Great Lakes. As much as 3 feet of snow was forecast for the West Virginia mountains. Millions of people in the Northeast stayed home from work. Subways, buses and trains shut down, and more than 7,000 flights in and out of the East were canceled, snarling travel around the globe. Hundreds of thousands of people were under orders to flee the coast, including 375,000 in lower Manhattan and other parts of New York City, but authorities warned that the time to get out was short or already past. "I think this one's going to do us in," said Mark Palazzolo, who boarded up his bait-and-tackle shop in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., with the same wood he used in past storms, crossing out the names of Hurricanes Isaac and Irene and spray-painting "Sandy" next to them. "I got a call from a friend of mine from Florida last night who said, 'Mark, get out! If it's not the storm, it'll be the aftermath. People are going to be fighting in the streets over gasoline and food.'" RELATED ON SKYE: Mapping the Megastorm - Track it Live http://www.blogcdn.com/weather.aol.c...glemap-300.jpgPresident Barack Obama declared emergencies in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, authorizing federal relief work to begin well ahead of time. He promised the government would "respond big and respond fast" after the storm hits. "My message to the governors as well as to the mayors is anything they need, we will be there, and we will cut through red tape," Obama said. "We are not going to get bogged down with a lot of rules." Sandy, a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 85 mph early Monday, was blamed for 65 deaths in the Caribbean before it began traveling northward, parallel to the Eastern Seaboard. As of 8 a.m. Monday, it was centered about 310 miles southeast of New York City, moving to the north at 20 mph, with hurricane-force winds extending an extraordinary 175 miles from its center. Water was already a foot deep on the streets of Lindenhurst, N.Y., along the southern edge of Long Island, and the canals around the island's Great South Bay were bulging two hours before high tide. Gale-force winds blew overnight over coastal North Carolina, southeastern Virginia, the Delmarva Peninsula and coastal New Jersey. Forecasters warned that New York City and Long Island could be on the dangerous northeastern edge of the tempest and bear the worst of the storm surge - a wall of seawater up to 11 feet high that could swamp lower Manhattan, flood subway tunnels and cripple the network of electrical and communications lines that are vital to the nation's financial center. RELATED ON SKYE: A State-by-State Look at the Superstorm The major American stock exchanges closed for the day, the first unplanned shutdown since the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. The floor of the NYSE, typically bustling with traders on a Monday morning, fell within the city's mandatory evacuation zone. The United Nations canceled all meetings at its New York headquarters. New York called off school for the city's 1.1 million students, and the more than 5 million people who depend on its transit network every day were left without a way to get around. Most planned to stay inside anyway. "If you don't evacuate, you are not only endangering your life, you are also endangering the lives of the first responders who are going in to rescue you," Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned. "This is a serious and dangerous storm." New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was typically blunt: "Don't be stupid. Get out." The storm bore down barely a week before the presidential election. Wary of being seen as putting political pursuits ahead of public safety, Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney reshuffled their campaign plans. In Virginia, one of the most competitive states, election officials eased absentee voting requirements for those affected by the storm. Three other closely contested states, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio, were within Sandy's reach. Early voting was canceled Monday in Maryland and Washington, D.C., both reliably Democratic. RELATED ON SKYE: Tips on Preparing for the Megastorm After hooking inland, Sandy was expected to collide with a wintry storm moving in from the west and cold air streaming down from the Arctic. Forecasters said the combination could bring close to a foot of rain in places, a potentially lethal storm surge of 4 to 11 feet across much of the region, and punishing winds that could cause widespread power outages that last for days. Craig Fugate, chief of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said FEMA teams were deployed from North Carolina to Maine and as far inland as West Virginia, bringing generators and basic supplies that will be needed in the storm's aftermath. "I have not been around long enough to see a hurricane forecast with a snow advisory in it," Fugate told NBC's "Today" show. Pennsylvania's largest utilities brought in hundreds of line-repair and tree-trimming crews. In New Jersey, where utilities were widely criticized last year for slow responses after the remnants of storms Irene and Lee, authorities promised a better performance. Hundreds of homes and businesses were already without electricity early Monday. About 90 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., 17 people abandoned a replica of the 18th-century tall ship made famous in the movie "Mutiny on the Bounty" after the vessel began taking on water, the Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard was trying to determine whether to use cutters or helicopters to rescue the crew members, who were in two lifeboats and wearing survival suits and life jackets. |
Hillatious picks for sure Space!
Yes Jen is right in the path as are many others here!....Well wishes and prayers for our MCF members familys and friends...Looking forward to hearing from all who were affected and respond with positive safe results.. Fingers crossed..and holding our breath til everyones safe return here!:thumbsup: |
It's heading right for us here. It's supposed to make landfall at our Condo in Margate City NJ and then shoot over to Philly.
Supposed to be a lot of rain and wind that we just aren't ready for. Philadelphia has shut down all of its public transportation, closed schools. Not going to be fun. |

Not to bad here, just lots of rain so far......Be safe everyone!
I saw this pic on the news yesterday...Primanti Bros...... Primanti Brothers - Wikipedia, the free <WBR id=yui_3_3_0_1_13515505960861026>encyclopedia Flooding continues on Fort Lauderdale <WBR>beach, thanks to swells ... http://media.getchute.com/m/2z2qxyhsa/c/2306486/w/600 |
Figured I'd post before my power goes out. Its been flickering on and off, gave up on watching netflix movies. Don't want to destroy the xbox with the power surges...
So far everything is doing well...bored out of my mind. A tree fell onto my complex building. Luckly its not mine (i'm all the way down at the end of the building).. Unfortunately its a friend of mine's.. Hoping she's ok. Also, For the first time ever(i guess) Corporate decided to shut down almost all Autozones in NY. Got to leave earlyyy! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../IMG_88221.jpg |
I am looking forward to seeing our east coasters checking in on the MCF & letting us know that you are OK...
Please post your report & how you are! How is your Monte Carlo ? |
Morning space! All is good here, wind is still high. Power went out for almost 2 hours at work and the wind collapsed a big frame tent holding equipment in it. Lots of paperwork haha but alls well. Hope our friends down new NYC/NJ are safe!
|
Thanks `Devin for checking in with your update and that you are OK + not much damage in your area.
I look forward to hearing from our other member's. No Power is one of the biggest problems after a storm to endure... The cost will be in the billions, but one can not put a cost on a life 4-Sure....In the county that I'm working we had millions of dollars in damages, but nothing compared to up north.. Also in my home county we had major beach erosion :( and my grandfather's home is now closer to the ocean :eek: |
Sandy take HMS Bounty and some of her Crew
The replica HMS Bounty sunk yesterday caught by sandy one crew member dead and caption missing. She was in the 1962 film "Bounty" and pirateds of the Caribean.
Sandy claims 'Bounty' off North Carolina - CNN.com Hope are members on the east coast are keeping safe and are not ill affected by this terrible storm |
Hope you guys stay safe on the east coast. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We haven't gotten anything other than some light winds an a little rain up here.A lot of people freaking out though:nono:
Now down state an jearsy is a different story:( |
We've had high wind since yesterday, especially last night. Up to 50-60 mph gusts. The house was making sounds I've never heard before. There was a tree down completely across one of the main roads as I was making my way home last night. Leaves and other small debris have been blowing all over the place. Lots of rain that turned over to snow in some areas last night, including here, and there's kind of a mix falling right now as it's starting to switch back to all rain. 51k without power in SE Michigan.

We had some flooding, sporadic power outages, beach erosion, high winds, tree's/sign down etc. We dodged this one, but I can relate to what other's up north are going through :(...We are still being affected by `Sandy & we had a cold front come through & wind chill was below freez'in in parts of northern Florida...I was freezin earlier this morning in the warehouse & it was only 40+ degree's...Unloading the trucks warmed me `up & so did 2 much spaceCoffee :rotfl: I hope we hear from our member's in the path of the storm. Thanks 4 your concern...Peace/Out from `Space |
From what Jen said on Facebook I think she's disappointed in the storm lol.
|

I have had my snow blower ready for about a week now... Never know here in Michigan ..Just what the weathers gonna do! The ole saying here is: If you dont like the weather here...wait a while itll change soon enuff! Matt gald to hear jens ok ... |
Hey guys. We made it through the worst of the storm. Now it's just windy and wet for the next couple of days.
No trees fell on my cars :thumbsup: :congrats: There seems to be no more leaves on anything though. Those definitely all fell. A lot of power is out all around me, but I got lucky and still have power in my Apt. I don't have internet or TV though, so I had to go into work (since I couldn't work from home). The ride in was a little crazy, with the amount of leaves on the road it felt like I was driving in snow. Also there were no working traffic lights, so it took a little extra time. Here's a few pictures during my inspection of the cars: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...G_00000013.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...G_00000014.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...G_00000015.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...G_00000016.jpg |
Glad that you are safe Mike, Looks like you definitely got lucky in the storm. At Least your cars still look good too!
|
When it dries out, I'm gonna clean the cars really well and see if I have any scratches from all the branches and heavy winds.
Gonna go pick up a new bottle of compound just in case |
