My folks back in the city have lost power, so I'm hoping for the best for them. Currently it's been pretty flooded. So the people saying it is overhyped haven't really been keeping up. We're not even at high tide yet, and its doing some massive damage along the coast.

Just keep in mind the people more inland won't suffer as much unless your near a large body of water.

Maybe luckyfool can correct me but I think those inland might get some serious snow as this storm gets further north.

I live in central/ north Jersey, and our power went out for a few hours but came back on before we even woke up. Up here, the hurricane pretty much missed us. Some decent wind and rain for a short period of time, but no big deal. South Jersey flooded pretty hard though, according to weather updates.

You guys are just a bunch of whiners. We'd have to pay extra to have a shark in our yards here in Ohio. Gosh, grow up, people.

He's just trying to save his boat. I dunno if he can get out of the way in time though.

Damage so far in my part of the DC area has been: a 30 sec power outage, and a damp book when I decided to take my AC unit out of my window (since it's winter anyway) and forgot that of course it would be filled with water.

Had no idea you were into meteorology, Lucky. Nice write-up, but I wish it wasn't necessary. Katrina was bad, but for some reason this seems much worse.

I was in a tornado a couple years ago and was without power for weeks. A nurse from a hurricane prone country said that tornado's scare her much worse, because there's little warning compared to a hurricane. Is that true, Lucky?

My thoughts are with all of those who are feeling Sandy's impact. I hope y'all will be safe.

so funny to see the difference in cultures. here in florida we have parties on the beach as one of these tiny storms is about to hit. in ny, people screaming armageddon and clogging up my news feeds with "news of the storm" are people honestly worried?
