Its ok chaotic, I think hurricane sandy is more pimpsy  

I hope the storm doesn't do that much damage in ny. I have a cousin up there. Anyway, we floridians dodged a bullet again. It's just got really cold after months of 90 degree heat. And, it's been really windy. Did anyone see the video of the ny crane that partially collapsed? Insane.  

Atlantic city is under water and the tunnels and subways in NYC are flooded. The bad thing is this storm is sticking around for several more days. Stay safe if you're in it's path.  

This is the greatest thing to come out of hurricane sandy.

 

It's very strange, I live in New Jersey (where it's supposed to be the worst), and all I experienced was fairly high winds and light rain. No power outage, no downpour. I also checked my local weather, and for me it's dying down, even though it seemed like it barely got started.  

It's been raining all day, nonstop. However while it has been fairly windy, and it also has been windy nonstop, I haven't experienced any severe gusting. The last storm that came through here(Outside of DC) had some worst gusting(enough for me to hear the roof of my apartment start creaking as though it was being pulled off).

A lot of nonstop wind and rain, but nothing bad; the other storms this year left us worse-off(at least in this area). Earlier this year we were hit by a Derecho, which had some pretty bad damage and left nearly a million people in my state alone without power. I went without power for about a week. Also this year we've experienced some pretty hot weather(upper 90's) following by sudden cold-fronts that created some pretty crazy storms in my experience. My area in particular were hit by a few microbusts, which are a bit like tornadoes, but they just appear, blow **** up, and disappear immediately. They caused severe damages and blew a few roofs off of buildings up the street from here.

However I don't think we're getting it quite as bad as some other areas up north, and I can't speak for areas on the shoreline and such -- just where I live in particular.  

The power went off and I had to keep emtying the sump pump because water was constantly filling it. We.had no electricity to pump it out. The basement could have flooded...

The power came on 1 hour ago. I'm exhausted  

That sucks. Watching the news this morning really puts things in perspective. There are so many neighborhood destroyed...  

Only a few branches on the ground here. Power didn't even go out.  

A tree fell. Im going to go outside to see the wreckage  

Meanwhile I'm eating popcorn and watching you people suffer on the news, since where I live there's never hurricanes

It dipped south at the last moment, I was in the same spot. 7.4 million people without power due to Sandy and I got some flickering lights and annoying winds. Trees were ripped up near me, nearby boardwalk destroyed, but Seaside Heights seems to be a victim of large impact.

Oh the childhood memories.. :/  

The tree that fell down in my yard, demolished the old playground that used to be there before we moved in. It also damaged the siding of our garage.  

No school these couple of weeks. Also no wifi...(on phone)
