Hank Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not good at all. Amazing how these storms develop. Already lives have been lost; we are kept up to date with our 24hr ABC News here in Australia. Any one affected; our thoughts and prayers are going out to you.

ShawnG Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Sandy rolled right overhead Tuesday morning, but here in central PA, we suffered only a little. lots of downed lines and property damage, my power was out for a few hours, but no worse than other hurricanes that have visited the area. NYC and New Jersey though took the worst of it, absolute devastation, just a hundred miles or so to the east. the mountains of West Virginia as well got dumped on by several FEET of wet snow. lots of people hurting, New Yorkers and those from New Jersey are tough, self-reliant folks, but there's never been a storm like that one. A lot of people need a lot of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I have just spoken to a colleague of mine who manages an R&D lab our company has in Islip on Long Island (vacinity of McArthur airport). Thankfully no loss of life or injury in our group. They reported that wind was the most remarkable part of the event with less rain than was expected. A number of our staff have no power or heating with no idea when they will get it back. Those on the southern side of Long Island got the brunt of the surge (as was to be expected). There are reports however of the southern backs getting hit dam hard especially Breezy point area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_Gladden Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Didn't get much here in my part of Vermont. The southern counties got hit a bit hard but they're all back up and running. VT utility companies have sent convoys of crews and trucks to CT and NY to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
