QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ Oct 30 2012, 01:44 AM)  The Bounty, slipping under the waves this morning 90 miles off North Carolina. As seen by the Coast Guard. Coasties were able to save 14 of the 16 aboard, and are still looking for the Captain. 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 |

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.  |

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... rich |

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.

Wow, from the news coverage it looks horrific, can't imagine that much devastation. Hope everyone on here and their 914s made it through ok.
We have family in RI, and Florida.... No word from either yet. Jeff |

Tree next to my Grandma's house broke in half and is lying on her roof. She lives in Forkedriver, NJ. All other family in that area are cool.

New challenge....no more gas. Minimal damage to my home, town is a mess.
No gas deliveries for a couple more days. Getting a lot done around the house and yard. Looking forward to some form of normal! |

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. |

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  |

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. |
