Brad is wise. I have an area in my roof that only gets a small leak when the wind actually blows hard from the due south driving the rain up and under a seam.

After what was a very eerie night an a rough morning, made it home ok. All things considering my family got off very lucky. No major damage, and although most of us are without power, for what could be days, nobody was hurt, all our houses are ok, and compared to the utter carnage I saw on my way home, southern Connecticut and Westchester it didn't feel like a tree or power line was left standing.

I'll try and get some pictures up when I get to work tomorrow.

Glad to hear everyone is safe, Chris. Could have been a lot worse.

I got hit pretty hard in Brooklyn. My basement is an aquarium. Still about five feet of water down there. High-water mark in my living room indicates I had about a foot of water in there. But I was smart enough, or lucky enough, to move a good deal of my most-valued belongings up to the second floor on Monday morning before landfall. Otherwise, I suppose I'd have lost most everything. But, end of the day, it's all just "stuff." I'm grateful I have someplace else to be, and I am safe.

Glad it appears all BOTLs appear to be safe! . In the Charlotte area we just had wind and clouds. Our way home to Cinci is basically impassable due to snow! Happily we aren't planning to go home until Sunday.

Folks in DC lost power for about 20 hours; but no worse for the wear. Sister in Columbia MD lost power as well but had a leak that ruined her carpet. But, all in all, she also fared well. Trishield is who I'm worried about!

Again., PTL that all appear to be ok physically anyway

I haven't been following the storm, but yesterday something reminded me of our BOTL on the East Coast here. I just wanted to pop my head in quickly and let yo know you're all in my thoughts. I'll come back and go through this thread later tonight.

I guess we will ride out the next several days in the hotel (hospital for her). Maybe, the weather will clear and I can catch a plane back to Bama sometime this weekend????

Nothing good out of this witch for me to celebrate, for sure!
I saw that boat come in and heard y'all had a bunch of rough weather. Sorry to hear about your trip being cancelled.

I was just able to make it into work today and we have power.

Been without power at home since 6:00pm on Monday, but thankfully no damage to anyone or our home.

Default Re: Hurricane Sandy

I realize now that I have read all these items and seen stories on the news that it might have been a good idea to
have a thread where the old hands from down in Dixie could pass on hard-bought advice on storms of this nature that
could really help when the sand starts filling the streets miles from the beach. I apologize for this, and in truth, I only
have a few tips of my own, but I am going to start a thread where we can pop em in as we think of them so that
the next time something like this looms large, people can benefit. Sorry I did not do it before.

Good to hear. I wonder how Joel (yourchoice) is doing.

All told we got really lucky in philly. Downed trees, power lines so lots of folks still without power but there is really nothing to say but we got really lucky.

Just heard from my uncle. Had five feet of water on the first floor. Siding is warping. Boat gone, dock smashed by some other boat there. Yard scoured and left with debris. Both cars gone. Sewers backed up. Nearby houses burned down. 114 looters arrested, so far. No power. 6 to 6 curfew. His last description, "total devastation".
All the family is fine, besides.

Just got home from working hurricane restoration and getting just about everyone in our service area back on. The company has released all of our off system contractors and a good portion of our on system contractors plus a large contingent of our own linemen to head to NJ and NY. So to our brothers and sisters up north, more help is on the way. I know there will be a lot of frustration from being without power for this long, just remember when you see these guys out there, they have been working 14 to 16 hour days with 8 to 10 hours off for 4 days already.

That really sucks that they had that much damage. Awesome news that the family made out OK.
