I'm about 30 minutes north of you and the gusts here are already worrying me, and like Subby said, the worst isn't even here. If it weren't for my grandmother I'd be out of here right now. |

CNN said we would "really feel it" in 10 hours, so 1 AM.

dola
and a leak coming from the exterior-facing wall...somewhere around the window. Just discovered a nice little "mini lake" back there.

Thanks man! I was definitely going WTF when my sis-in-law told me they are waiting it out at home. I mean they live in a county called "Ocean County". When a hurricane hits, basically it is time to flee for more inland areas.

Just talked to my dad (he's in Rhode Island) and he said they lost power and winds are gusting around 60mph right now. They aren't too far from the ocean, but, they are about 300 feet up in elevation, so they should be ok as far as flooding goes. Now trees, different story.

Took my dog for a walk about 20 minutes ago. Definitely feeling the gusts, especially after having a small branch whipped into my face by the wind.

Conditions worsen on Chincoteague; curfew called | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com
The VA islands, this is Chincoteague in particular, are getting completely covered in flood water. You can click the picture at the top left and scroll through the 4 they have posted. Hearing now the DC area will get it's biggest impact from 8pm-4am. Still not likely to see repair crews out until Wednesday. Last edited by Leroy Veritas : 10-29-2012 at 03:29 PM. |

BTW, there are now feet of snow projected for WV and the Appalachians nearby. The blizzard warning, which is part of this system, has extended all the way to Charlottesville.

Just had probably the worst gust yet-- this one had to be damn near 60+.
My grandparents used to live in Spring Lake Heights across the street from Wreck Pond. I could only imagine had they still been around. |

good thing is the storm is speeding up (speed not wind) so it will be over sooner. looks like its just about to shore in AC and OC Jersey...

That's usually the case though - I remember with Katrina it was Mississippi that got hit hardest, but the focus was on New Orleans because that's where the population density was.

That busted crane in NYC looks deadly. It's almost guaranteed to break off at some point during the night, and if the gust is strong enough, it could fly off and impale itself into a high-rise.
Very scary.

Oh shit - mine's still on right down the road (for those who don't know, we live like...2 miles away from each other). If it wasn't in the middle of the hurricane I'd say "come on down!"

Finally got my power back on. It had been out for about 4+ hours. Was sitting playing board games with the family and we got to watch our tree in the front yard go smash to the ground across the street. We were amazed that when it hit the power lines (we already had no power at this point), the tree actually splintered up and the lines didn't come down.
Still really crazy gusts here (around 60mph), so no idea how long I'll keep power. One of the bad things about living in the middle of nowhere.. in a wooded area (and the lights flicker a bunch while typing this) Last edited by Alan T : 10-29-2012 at 04:32 PM. |

I'm still on Cape Cod. Little rain so far, but the winds have been very strong for the past couple of hours. We still have power, however, my sister in Arlington Mass lost hers a few hours ago.

No problems yet for me in Waltham, about 15 minutes from both Arlington and Wellesley. Not sure how accurate this map is, but the power outages certainly appear to be spread over the whole state but not total in any one area, although the Cape appears pretty close. One of the two towns that feed the HS I work at (Carlisle) is almost 100% affected too, but that's not surprising (small town, wooded area, lots of space between homes, not businesses). I don't think the other, much larger one (Concord) shows up because power is run through a town utility and not any company. - http://www.boston.com/news/weather/specials/sandy_power_outage_map/

Now that I'm seeing these winds for myself, I will be shocked if my power does not go down

I've been watching weather.com most of the afternoon. The Chesapeake region is one that I have frequently traveled about including stays in Ocean City and the Delaware Beaches two of the past three summers. Sad to see all that damage.

Yup. Winds are still at 85mph, but no longer a hurricane.

We lost power for about 20 minutes and miraculously it came back on. Winds are pretty crazy here, but we've had very little rain.

It as rather stupid of the mayor to tell people to stay. Politics in AC have been a joke for quite some time. The general rule is that if you are looking to find a corrupt politician just look at AC and one will be running the show there. |

Where the West Side Highway goes into the Brooklyn/Battery tunnel there is a rushing waterfall. The whole tunnel may fill up at this rate.
