Oh what the hay, might as well get TotP.

That's three in a row!

It's time I let someone else have a turn showing off their junk.

Shiny, you don't have a divorced wife with a child, do you?

No, why?

Hi all! Doing fine here.

The power is still on, but for a time it was flickering a lot, so I thought it best to power down the computer. Everyone else I've been in touch with on Long Island though is in the dark.

Two huge trees have come down outside my apartment. One of them landed within 6 inches of somebody's car. I'm sure it scratched the paint, but in a moment like that, they'll have to just appreciate that if it had been a foot to the right, they would have had a tree trunk in their windshield.

It seems the rain has past, but the high winds will still be here through the night.

Good to here.

Barely raining here in Syracuse, no wind to speak of. Which is hilarious, because people around here are acting like it's the f+&&ing Rapture.

Now I'm starting to get worried...

Glad you are doing ok CH. Hope Patrick, AZ, Freehold, and the other Northeast FaWtLies are doing ok in the storm. Hang in there.

I'm good, although there has been a lot of damage in other areas of Brooklyn. The Battery Tunnel is flooded, and the MTA is worried about how long it will take to pump the water out of the subway- these two are particularly huge. Red Hook and Coney Island are underwater. There were also two explosions on 14th street at a power station that caused a huge blackout.

Glad you guys are OK. I will be heading in to work on a two hour delay soon. I hope the street flooding has receded.

Agreed, I hope all you guys are doing fine. That everything will soon be back to normal; scratch that - better than normal.

In unrelated news; anyone else sleep-let-cats-outside? Even if you have to open & unlock doors.

I'm so glad you and CH checked in. I saw the video of the fire in Queens and... oh my God. What horror. Wait, that apparently happened two or three hours after you posted. If you get a chance, please drop us a word again.

The rest of you guys, we're all thinking about you and very much looking forward to seeing you again. *hugs*

Hang in there, East Coast Paizoniacs.

We're thinking of ya.

Stay safe guys.

I've given it a lot of thought, and I've decided I like Facebook and Joss Whedon.

:-D

kudos

Apparently Ohio has gotten it pretty hard. Which is just f++~ing bizarre.

Continued prayers.

CH, Freehold, glad to hear you guys are doing ok. It seems like New York took a good beating. Same here in Philly.

The wife and I got a bit of water in the basement, but not much else. I haven't checked my roof yet. I did go out and assist another neighor in clearing out part of his front yard tree that came down. Another neighbor who was helping said he saw trees down all over when he brought his wife to work.

Now here's hoping Patrick is ok. I know he lost power, so it might be a while until we here from him.

If I recall correctly from the weather reports, a lot of the heaviest rain bands swept through into Ohio and points west, combining with that cold front to produce a bunch of rain/snow and winds.

Whelp. Time to finish my coffee and continue the damage assessment outside. Later folks.

High winds and cold rain in MI. This is one big ass storm.

Hee hee. I was really surprised no one else had already created that alias.

Yes. Had to drive the kidlet to school in a sleet storm turning into hail. And we are an awful long ways inland to be affected by this at all.

I don't know if Patrick has power back yet, but he did post an update on his pbp this morning, so I'm thinking that's a good sign.

That seems like good news. Thanks, Lynora!

Having 'weathered' a couple of Hurricanes myself, my prayers are with all of our friends!
:)
Everyone's ok? as far as I can tell by reading the posts?

Ah wuzn't scairt!

The high winds reminded me of my youth. Not much rain at all, for which I am thankfull. Otherwise, I'd be down in my basement all day with a wetvac.

If they weren't okay how would they be posting?

With the bloody stumps of their mangled fingers. You don't know Fawtlies very well, do you?

So...

"mrng ftwl"

"'ftwl'?"

"sht up cant type mssing thre fngrs"

?

FaWtL is crack, even storms cannot stop addicts. Running out to the car and using the batteries there....

So...

"mrng ftwl"

It's that or nose-pecking.

Sure, till you sneeze on the keyboard.

Well... *hugs* I almost wish we had hurricanes more often! Keeps a wary eye out for the Puffin

I didn't hear much about a fire in Queens, but I will keep an eye out.

I was actually worried about you and your area, dood, how badly was your basement flooded?

Heh, Paizo/FaWtL addicts unite!
No mere hurricane can stop our need for posty-goodness! :)

Take care storm-bunnies, God bless.

My supervisor sent me a picture of her cousin's den in Queens- her furniture is floating.

hi everyone,

glad tto hear you are all ok!!!

My supervisor sent me a picture of her cousin's den in Queens- her furniture is floating.

When I was ten, I used to think that sort of thing sounded like a great time - you can make rafts of the table and have naval battles in the living room!

Now all I have to say is, ouch! Hope not too many of them are ruined.

I'm glad to hear folks weathered the the storm fairly well.

I managed to keep power all night, even though over a million on Long Island are without.

Some more trees came down, including a big one that landed on a building down the street. (It actually didn't damage the building too much.)

I didn't get much rain where I am. Most of the precipitation was south and west of the storm, while north and east of it just got wind and storm surges.

I'm home from work again. I'm not sure how long that is going to last. Where I live is fine, and I suspect my office is, too, but given how many people are stuck in flooded areas, who knows...

Family issues have kind of consumed my life right now.

I was concerned for folks impacted by Sandy so I thought I'd look in.

It's gonna be a while man. I'm off from the main job the rest of this week, but I"m not sure when I'm going in for the second job- or hell, when I'm getting into manhattan again.

I'm sorry to hear family life has gotten difficult- things are okay here save for a fire in Queens, the subway being flooded, and flooding elsewhere.

I can't help but think of that firm that jerked me around offering tomorrow afternoon as their only available interview slot. I have a feeling that all of their interviews tomorrow are going to be rescheduled.

Jerks.
