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.

...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.

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...

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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
