Yes, all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. |

Meh its only a category 1 my GRANDMA is in long island and shes laughing it off...not like all these drama queens 50 miles inland stocking up on water |
| Lorelei | Monday, October 29, 2012 - 09:03 pm
But even a category 1 storm can cause damage to homes, businesses, create flooding and cost people their lives. So I wouldn't call anyone a drama queen because they are being smart and taking precautions. |

Yeah, the Mayor of NY only thought fit to close the subway, buses and trains, close schools, prioritise power to hospitals and evacuate 350,000 people, no big deal.
Lets hope your Grandma isn't one of the people the emergency services have to risk, and possibly lose, their lives to rescue. |

Thank god hurricanes are not problem in Europe. My support to all of you Easterners. Germany is sure to help if you request it. |

Not looking for sympathy, but here in Ontario Canada, we are getting a brunt of that storm as well. Heavy rains and over 100KM/h winds |
| Rick | Tuesday, October 30, 2012 - 05:21 am
Forcast: Storm force winds, seas 25 to 37 feet on the Great Lakes.
Just before landfall the hurricane low pressure was recorded at 27.75 inches.....unheard of! |

Yikes looks like a monster. Subways are flooded.
Good luck from Australia. |

It is mind boggling! This is why people should heed warnings, no matter how silly or extreme it may seem. |
| Crafty | Tuesday, October 30, 2012 - 02:53 pm
Unusually mild October for Ontario then Keto ;) |

Folks here in central PA were scrambling, since they predicted a direct hit and 50- to 70-mph winds, but all we got was a decent drenching. Not even any snow...
I feel for folks who took a big wallop from this storm - especially 6 million losing power. I know how tough that can be. Stay warm!
I do have to ask, though: why is there a compulsion to buy bottles of water, which are usually from municipal tap anyway, before a hurricane? Don't most people have tap and a few jugs and bottles lying around? And milk - seems like the stores always sell out of milk. Strange. |
| Lorelei | Tuesday, October 30, 2012 - 10:10 pm
Hey Hoppy!
When I lived down along the Gulf Coast, we would fill milk jugs up with water, our bath tubs up with water as well, anything that we could find. Yeah that is funny about the milk. We do that in Tennessee over a flake of snow! :P |
