Storm of the Century predicted. If your in the path where it hooks back into land I would take a long weekend and get the heck out.

Oh! You mean THAT Sandy.

Already cancelled meetings on Monday. Expect work to be closed.
Might be 2 years in a row we have has snow before Halloween.

Supposed to be hitting us the hardest on Tuesday. Cold front coming down from the north will add additional horespower to the storm - maybe.

Posted by: scotty b Oct 26 2012, 02:01 PM

Va has already declared a state of emergency. Evacuating the beaches down to N.C. and will be deciding tonight if they will be redirecting 64 east bound lanes to west bound. Looking like I may not have power for a week. Good times

Posted by: wndsrfr Oct 26 2012, 02:05 PM

tomorrow is going to be epic kite surfing at my place or chicks beach come on down! Of course if I 64 is only westbound you need to come down Route 10 to my place...

You never cheer for the storm named after your wife.

My wife's name is Katrina.

I'm not talking about "That Guy"

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 26 2012, 02:53 PM

Latest track has it going right over my house.
Naturally, I got tabbed for making a business trip to Orlando next week. I expect we'll be able to fly out of PHL (too) early Monday and I expect it'll be bumpy past the midAtlantic.

I _think_ the snow, if any, will stay west.

Joy is quite the trooper and will get to / have to deal with whatever happens. Although there's a decent chance she'll be staying at work (a 160-bed long-term-care facility) in Quakertown.

We'll (have to) cope...

Posted by: struckn Oct 26 2012, 02:59 PM

Walmart and Giant Food Store locally here sold out of bottled water. Filling our bath tubs, so we'll have water for things like flushing our tolets. I have a 450KW Generator with a Subie Motor that's enough to run the important suff and a 95lb Black Lab to keep us warm. We're ready......I hope.

Good luck to all those in the path.

I once decided to stick out a hurricane in Cape Canaveral with a 6 month old baby... LUCKILY it missed us. I had NO IDEA what they could do until after watching things like Katrina. I would never do that again.

As for the increase in the accuracy of weather predictions and real-time imaging by satellite please give some credit to the NPP-Sumoi satellite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomi_NPP (you are welcome - I helped build that ;-)

It produced this image soon after launch:

Coming over my house first. I'll let you know...

Posted by: preach Oct 26 2012, 04:08 PM

Nor'easter is generally a near or at hurricane strength winter storm. We get them reasonably often up here.

I was outside at work a couple of years ago building the sail (periscopes and other masts) on a 688 sub and the Coast Guard station on base clocked 83mph winds. We just sucked it up and kept building.

This Sunday I will be at work from 6am to 6pm for hurricane watch. Basically we sit there and if the storm starts, or threatens, surging over the caisson of the dry dock we run out and seal the boat up enough so it floats.

Posted by: ConeDodger Oct 26 2012, 04:10 PM

That is exactly the Sandy I was thinking too!! Though she doesn't seem to have Yopu's temper. I was just joking with my step-daughter that when she goes off it is usually a three day freeze! Samantha said "LOL!! I know right!!." Tropical Storm Yopu!

Dogonit!!! I just got the car perfectly leveled for further structural work and now I have to take the jack stands up a few notches, I guess.

Not so much worried about damage here as I am an extended power outage. Guess I'll be stocking up on generator fuel this wknd.

Posted by: jersey914 Oct 26 2012, 06:19 PM

I am so screwed! Spent the entire day trying to any freaking store that had generators for sale. 14 hours later i am back home with no generator. Forecasting 10+ inches of rain ang hurricane force winds for 24-48 hours. Power outages are eminent and probably for days since we are so close to the shore. Good luck to all that are going to be affected!

Posted by: OU8AVW Oct 26 2012, 06:55 PM

I work at a marina full of 40'+ sailboats. We stripped 25 of those bitches of sails and canvas. We'll spend the rest of the weekend hauling boats then Monday night walking the docks to make sure all is ok.
Last time this happened i got reamed out by multiple customers when they got the bill for saving their boats. This year i have permission from the top to give those a-holes a big F you!

Posted by: somd914 Oct 26 2012, 06:58 PM

Here in Southern MD on the Chesapeak we are sitting on the fence between "Hit the Liquor Store" and "Totally Screwed" areas, but I'll believe all the hype when I see it. In 24 years here I've been through 3 hurricanes , several tropical storms, and numerous noreasters - more than my brother can say who has spent close to 30 years in Florida!

With Isabel in 2003 we had 5 oak trees on the house and spent days with the chainsaw running from sunrise to sunset. That storm brought a 5-6 foot tidal surge and significant flooding. With Irene only one tree came down but missed the house, there was very little surge but 12-14 inces of rain. Elecricity? Typically not for days for many in our area...

Time to secure the boat in her slip , tune up the chainsaw , hit the liquor store , and drive the 914 as she will sitting warm and dry in the garage for next several days...

Posted by: vonsteigerho Oct 26 2012, 07:08 PM

I was going to pick up a parts car in NJ middle of next week. Even if it's not the storm of the century, I'm probably still not going to make it there.

Echo the message about two Halloweens in a row. My kids will not be happy about this.

Posted by: rick 918-S Oct 26 2012, 07:10 PM

I received a text message yesterday from my company and a call today putting me on notice to be ready to pack up and hit the road if they call.

Thanks buddy, Not sure if I'll even get called or where they will send me but if I get called and end up in your area I'll take you up on it.

Posted by: JmuRiz Oct 26 2012, 09:07 PM

Hopefully it's like a typical panic attack in the DC area ( where they call for something huge and it's no big deal)...I doubt I'll be that luck though. As long as water stays out of my basement and we don't loose power for too long, then I'll be fine.
Having a yard sale tomorrow, just in time before the rains Sunday.

Posted by: kerensky Oct 26 2012, 10:07 PM

Mine is usually like the storm that goes by, then stalls and loops back to hit you from the opposite direction. Nothing like a solid week of sturm und drang...

In the past year and a half we've had a tornado, hurricane, last year's Halloween blizzard and an earthquake. To Sandy I say this: BRING IT!

Posted by: zymurgist Oct 27 2012, 05:05 AM

I hit the beer/liquor store yesterday and also did some grocery shopping. This morning I'm going on a propane run. Tonight I will fill a bunch of 5 gallon buckets with water just in case I lose power. Gotta be able to flush the terlet.

Potomac Edison did have crews cutting branches away from overhead power lines in my neighborhood over the past 2 weeks... time will tell how effective that is. All the lines are overhead here.

Posted by: Gint Oct 27 2012, 08:25 AM

I deflected that storm.

One of my coworker's last day was yesterday. He's flying out Monday to his new job... in Virgina.

Posted by: Slink Oct 27 2012, 10:45 AM

I'm 2 miles from the ocean in So. Monmouth County NJ. This is not going to be
fun. We are in the direct path and not use to a storm this big. The beaches and
boardwalks are sure to take a beating. Its never a good sign when the weather
channel sends it crew nearby.

Posted by: rmital Oct 27 2012, 11:25 AM

...here in Bergen County (Northern Jersey) it's the trees we fear the most in these storms. They are old and tall. It's been pretty dry as of late, so hopefully the roots will hold.
I'm sure the beaches down at Wildwood will look much different when we return this Spring.

Just got the CAT call. Don't know where I'm headed yet. I need to close out a few things here first but Northern NJ and Mass were mentioned as destinations.

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 28 2012, 04:32 PM

So here's a damage report, though not really Sandy related (but it is raining...)

Guy running late for work lit up his tires three houses down and ran down two of our 25' Cleveland pears in the front yard before finally coming to a stop... Heard the tires spinning down the street and had time to get to the window and watch it all happen.

Those guys in Corvettes who never lift at AX because they are convinced they can save it? Couldda been one of those guys - but this was a Dodge Ram...

And yet - if this is the worst of the Sandy damage we'll have got off okay. Sandy comes tomorrow, and we will see...

Posted by: okieflyr Oct 28 2012, 04:43 PM

All our loose deck stuff is strapped down, water containers filled etc. Our big worry with these types of storms are the large trees in and around our development. All of our electric lines are buried which is good, but big trees on the house is always a concern. Our creek could crest into the backyard on this one.

Posted by: anderssj Oct 28 2012, 04:45 PM

from Yorktown VA:

winds are up a little, steady rain too. Latest chart:



We're went with box wine instead of bottles as the boxes might float a little longer

Stay safe and dry!

Posted by: Pat Garvey Oct 28 2012, 04:47 PM

Yeah, been there, done that - you have tornadoes & there's no predicting the path. Was there in '74, when Xenia was crushed. Watched it and two others go by the Cincy skyline.

I'll take 'canes.

Posted by: Pat Garvey Oct 28 2012, 04:57 PM

Two bottles of Jack (1.75), 2 bottles of Sutter Home Pinot (wife likes that crap), and a snort of Cragganmore for the guy who mans the sump pump.

Yeppir, if I have problems...I won't know about them until middle of the week.

Posted by: zymurgist Oct 29 2012, 05:37 AM

Customer labs are down... they are located in English Creek, NJ so they shut down and bugged out. Not possible to work from home today. Guess I'll sit and wait.

Posted by: somd914 Oct 29 2012, 06:34 AM

Grew up about 10 miles from Xenia, can't remember a sky looking so evil since that day - I'll take the tropical stuff, you know it's coming and have plenty of time to prepare.

Here in Southern Maryland we've had steady rain since yesterday evening, winds are running about 15-20 with gusts to 25-30 , so at the moment no big deal, but predictions are for the winds to come up 15 or so later today with gusts up to 60 lasting until tomorrow night. They'll probably close our major bridges as the winds come up. We are expecting a 2-3 foot tidal surge tomorrow, so coupled with 6-10 inches of rain by then, we are going to have a lot of flooding.

But compared to hurricanes Isabel in '04 or Irene last year, this is not bad.

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 29 2012, 06:42 AM

I was supposed to be on a flight for Orlando this morning with a 0650 takeoff. Last night I printed my boarding pass and went for a nap. At 0300 I discovered the flight had been cancelled 20 minutes after I'd checked in. At 0650 there was no wind and no rain. I'd be on the ground in Orlando now.

So instead of taking off today, when the weather was good, I was rebooked on a flight leaving _tomorrow_ at noon - pretty much local landfall.

I see no hope of that flight actually getting out...

Posted by: jersey914 Oct 29 2012, 06:46 AM

You aren't going anywhere tomorrow. Nobody will be allowed on the roads till Wednesday. Good luck!

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 29 2012, 07:01 AM

This isn't New Jersey, and I haven't heard of any mandatory travel restrictions in PA yet.

That said, I think the only reason that flight hadn't been cancelled yet is that it somehow just got overlooked. I have no confidence it'll go.

In fact - I haven't received confirmation from the travel agency that I've been reticketed yet. So it may already have evaporated.

Posted by: AvalonFal Oct 29 2012, 07:25 AM

Already hitting my place on the 7 Mile long barrier island 4 miles off the South Jersey coast. We had to be out of there by 4 PM yesterday. I'm in Philly now riding it out & waiting to see what's left.

Posted by: jersey914 Oct 29 2012, 07:29 AM

Good Luck Paul, Here in Marlton, it is coming down sideways and the wind is steadly picking up with some nasty gusts. Hard to believe we are 12+ hours before landfall and 36+ before this thing is out of here.

Good Luck, be safe!

PS - Teener has be moved to Medford warehouse for safe. dry keeping!

Posted by: TargaToy Oct 29 2012, 07:59 AM

Does everybody over here in the strike zone still have power? I'm just outside of Salisbury, MD so...in the lower-mid part of the DelMarVa peninsula. Woke up very thankful to still have electricity but everything just flickered a couple good times minutes ago. Blowing pretty good here now and my gauge shows we've had 4.25" of rain since 1:30 yesterday afternoon.

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 29 2012, 09:24 AM

So far. Our local power company has been pretty aggressive this year about trimming branches. All my network gear and computers are on battery backups - will only run the computers long enough to shut them all down safely but with the router and switches up I'll have WiFi to the phones for a long while. And the laptops should run a few hours if they have to.

Posted by: Spoke Oct 29 2012, 09:25 AM

As reported in Pittsburgh CBS affiliate:

Friday, Gov. Tom Corbett followed suit with many other East Coast states, and declared a State of Emergency for Pennsylvania in preparation for Sandy.

“Be prepared for staying in your home in case you lose electricity and if you haven’t replaced the batteries in a year, go get the batteries, go get water, go stock up on some food, but do it not in a rush, you still have some time,” Corbett said.

Posted by: somd914 Oct 29 2012, 11:23 AM

Still have power here in Southern MD - Solomons/Patuxent River area, but given winds are gusting 40-45 MPH now and currently predicting gusts to 70-75 tonight, well, it's only a matter of time before trees start coming down and we go dark.

My son came home from Salisbury University this weekend - looks like it will be Wednesday before he can get back to school. Good luck on the eastern shore, and especially to our buddies up the coast.

Posted by: Slink Oct 29 2012, 12:17 PM

I keep losing cable and wifi. Power went out but is back on for now. Wind is howling
gusting to 70mph with possible 115mph later tonite. Neighbors tree just split missing
their house and car. I moved my cars out in the street for saftey. My 914 is in
the detatched garage, hope windows hold. The Belmar basin is down the street
and they are closing the street as the water crests at hi tide.

Posted by: mepstein Oct 29 2012, 12:28 PM

Still just moderate wind and rain in our area south of Philly. Not that I'm complaining.

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 29 2012, 12:34 PM

This WAWA is 1 1/2 miles from my house in Avalon, NJ. Doesn't look too good, but I'm hoping. That's not ocean water, that's intra-coastal waterway (bay) water, but the island is only about 1/2 mile wide, so in some parts, the ocean could actually meet the bay!! Some fun!!

Just took a walk around the property. Some small leaks in the garage and shop from water getting blown under the pedestrian door sill. Otherwise, we are holding tight.

There is flooding and Camp Hill PA and Lancaster. Nothing reported in York yet.

Government agencies in Baltimore are closed again tomorrow, so I will be at home. Intend to ride to some of the local streams and survey them.

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Oct 29 2012, 08:53 PM

This is the river I usually kayak down. Its right near Herb Berwald's place.
It needs 100 cfs for my kayak to be able to scrape down it, and 200cfs for it to be at all enjoyable. Its been running at 50-75cfs since spring and I have not been able to get down it once this summer.

Right now...
20,000 CFS and about 18 feet deep!!! And rising! WOW!

Posted by: Black22 Oct 29 2012, 08:55 PM

You better get out there!!!

Posted by: somd914 Oct 29 2012, 09:24 PM

Looks like the worst is over for us - with Sandy speeding up they've downgraded wind and rain predictions for us. Winds are presently averaging a reasonable 25 or so, down from 30-35 earlier this evening when gusts were into the 50's. The steady winds of 45-50 with gusts to 75 has been removed from the forecast. Looks like we've had 8-9 inches of rain so far, expecting another 1-2 overnight.

Looks like the guys a little further up the coast took it in the shorts, hope damage/flooding is not as bad as the news is predicting for them. On Friday they had Sandy tracking south of Ocean City and then right into my neck of the woods on the middle Chesapeake - I'm not complaining - been there, done that...

Power was out for us most of yesterday in Allentown. Light to medium rain. Wind gusts up to 40mph.

I'm in Pittsburgh right now and yesterday and today it's just raining; not much wind. They predicted 2-4 inches of rain here.

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Oct 30 2012, 06:26 AM

Its just a rainstorm here in York PA now.
wok up and the power was still on. Expected to find 1/4 inch of water in the basement, but it seemed to be drying up! The usual flood points are still (barely) in thier banks, though one local bridge currently has a tree through it.

Its going to rain all day, but its just rain. The storm seems to have moved on.

The HMS Bounty was headed here in St Petersburg ( where it was on display for a large portion of the 80's). It is a replica Ship. A 15th person was found alive, still missing one.

Update: the 15th person has died & the Captain is still missing

We survived in Fredericksburg Va, West is another issue, 7+ inches of snow and power out.

Posted by: Racer Chris Oct 30 2012, 01:26 PM

It wasn't awful in central CT.

The shop didn't lose power. We closed at noon to get off the roads before it got too windy.
At my house the electricity went off Monday morning before the storm was really even here, and we had a large tree fall in the front yard. I worked on the tree until I was soaked.
As of 3pm Tuesday the power is still off at home. I'm headed there now to cut up the tree some more.

From my front door shortly before I went out to start cutting.


From the road this morning.

Posted by: r_towle Oct 30 2012, 01:35 PM

bummer, nice tree.

We lost about 5-8 trees, one across the driveway.
Got the tractor and shoved it next to the driveway for further processing once it stops raining.

The others are all in the wooded area, so no issues.

We had one drop across the roadway...killed power for a few hours today while they fixed it.

I think we lost so many trees during the last two storms we have been pruned already...

Posted by: AvalonFal Oct 30 2012, 03:34 PM

Still can't get back to Avalon to see any damage to my house. They won't allow anyone back onto the barrier islands off NJ. Rode out the storm in Philly. Power stayed on all the time and only a neighbor's tree fell and it went the other direction from me. I guess I'm in a wait and see on my place at the shore.

Posted by: Spoke Oct 31 2012, 01:48 PM

Still no power in Allentown. PPL has 266k customers in 26 PA counties without electricity.

Word on the street is power will be restored on Sunday.

All the food in the fridge has been transferred to a friends house or thrown out. The house is getting cold.

Posted by: jersey914 Oct 31 2012, 01:57 PM

Hang in there Spoke........we just got power back and heat on! We were fortunate to have a generator to run the bare necessities over the last 2 days

Posted by: AvalonFal Oct 31 2012, 05:13 PM

I'm in Avalon, NJ - 100 yards from the bay and 300 yards from the ocean on a barrier island and not a scratch on the house!! That old real estate motto about "Location, Location, Location" is even true with hurricanes. For shore towns, ya gotta be on the south side of the eye or the wind and waves will do you in. Landfall around Atlantic City meant towns north of there got hammered and south didn't (relatively speaking, of course.)
Pardon my geography and weather lecture, but I'm just astounded houses could be in the direct path of this thing and so close to the ocean and be completely undamaged.
Paul

Posted by: Spoke Nov 5 2012, 11:21 AM

Our power came back on Thurs at about 6pm. Still no phone service or internet (Verizon).

Gas station near my house is cash only (their internet is down as well). Station down the road is out of gas.

Mostly evergreen trees felled around town. Still places without power.

A house about a mile from mine was literally cut in half by a huge tree.
