Thread: Sandy

Gosh, I'm glad it was missed! How do you plan to "cannibalize" it?

Winds much heavier now and it's raining...strong stuff. Parts of our town are right down at sea level and we're on the coast...but on Long Island Sound. I'm repeating myself I'm sure. Some friends have lost power. Some people have to evacuate. We are OK. I'm lucky to have a great husband who has set up the generator to run a few important things... Just hope the trees and major limbs stay put!

I'm glad it was missed, too! I plan on harvesting the wheels/tires (tires are only 1 yr old, and excellent) and stereo system for my slightly newer Sentra; the alternator and starter are fairly new and the body & interior is in mostly good shape, so that's being donated to a local school.

Good to read that so far you are doing well in the storm. A little while ago I saw the top 20' of a tree go sailing thru the air, it was quite the sight to behold!

Yikes!!!!!! Are you near the Jersey shore...no, you can't be or you'd be floating... Wow, you guys are getting hit hard right now. They say we'll get it around 8pm.

Back to the car, well let's hope she stays nice and safe for your "harvesting". You do have a way with words, Yeats.

Crikey you guys, stay safe! I'd be gone, long gone, out of its way :(

I'm in the northwest of the state, 1/4 mi from Lake Hopatcong with the Musconetcong River about 1000 ft behind my house, so there's a lot of water around.

My girlfriend's septuagenarian mother is staying with us for a while, and she's rather alarmed at all of the proceedings.

Well hang in there - and you're great to have your girlfriend's mother with you.

Here's a photo from earlier today:


My daughter and I went down to the beach to see how things were. I haven't been back out since.



Fingers crossed and keep reporting in, Yeats. Just notice your signature line.

To all those of you affected, or likely to be affected by this storm, from the UK, goodnight and good luck.

Be safe out there folks in the East Coast!

Just reading about the havoc this morning. Hope everyone is okay.

Has Sandy gone, is everyone here okay?
