wiating on Sandy........................

our house is in an urban flood zone, with the mighty Delaware less than a 1/2 mile away. full moon, high tide. my waders are out of the basement. i'll take pics as the drama unfolds.

Shit shit shit...My cousin lives right on the bay in South Jersey...Good thing he rents.......I really hope he does not try to wait out the storm in his ground floor apartment 50 yards from the water...But I think he swaid he was sand bagging and boarding shit up yesterday...His parents, my aunt and uncle, live in Ocean City, which is like 10 minutes from Atlantic City...I think they're a couple blocks from the water.

Be safe everyone!!!

I am 1 mile from the Atlantic ocean. what makes it bad is that we have this bad ass thunderstorm already here and when the hurricane comes there will be so much rain. Low lying areas will get flooded

yes......the folks down the shore are most at risk. i wish them safe journey thru the storm................

i know i'm in for a power outtage. just how many days idk. too many tall trees here. stocked the freezer with plastic water bottles will keep it cool for a couple days anyway. my cuz in west chester lives 30 ft from the brandywine river. mb not for long. nuttin else to do but wait and uh...drugs.

I think this is going to to get really bad really fast from what everyone is saying on the Weather Channel. They look panicked. You know it's bad when the weather channel is having a collective panic attack.

Is that the same idea as wildlife freaking out before a natural disaster?

I gotta say I get lucky with power outages, I am on the same grid as a huge hospital and it is always the first priory to get power back. When Irene hit I only lost power for most of one day while the areas around me didn't get for a week.

they do that to make it more entertaining. I live in hurricane ally they might be freaking out because the states above me are not used to it. There will be flood damage because of both storms colliding but the wind is not going to be the damaging factor.

It could also be because it may hit highly populated area like new york city which is pretty low lying

Yep. Especially when Jim Cantore looks like he's about to jizz all over the camera. He loves this shit.

Normally, yes. But they are quite adamant that this is not hype. They are genuinely scared.

edit: There is coastal flooding, power outages and roads washing out. Sandy won't make landfall until this evening. This is a clear indication of how bad this is going to get.

If you start driving now you can be at my house by tomorrow afternoon. I'll have a feast fit for a king waiting for ya.

O shit they said the pressure drops down right before it hits. HMM that could cause some strong winds. If this reaches a Cat 2 there it will be a disaster.
