To all on the eastern seaboard

[FireballPhil]

Be safe and stay dry! May God watch over all of you and protect you!

...and our friends and families all the way to the Great Lakes...an amazing and forceful storm...take care! The 'Cuse family is with you.

I second this. Sandy is one dirty bitch. We are getting rid of her one bucket at a time. It is not the absolute force of the wind but the length of time in the wind field. you can bend a credit card in half and nothing happens. Bending it for 36 hours is another thing. Stay home and don't stay alone.

Good Luck

Yep as being right in CUSE as well, east syracuse to be more specific, I've heard anywhere from a couple inches to a foot if rain... And wind up 75 mph.


And for anyone right here in CUSE as well did you see the sky turn bright orange? Probably half hour ago?

Hey... am I the only one here who lives in a "mandatory evacuation" zone? Crazy part is ... I live on the only hill in the zone, so there is an asterisk around my street. This means I am deemed to be not in danger of flooding ... but in danger of "isolation" if the roads below are impassable and closed. So I am not leaving. Instead, I have become a "shelter" for some friends who DO have to evacuate because the encroaching water has already almost reached their house near the beach in Rowayton.

Who's up for a "ride the storm out" tailgate? Fine Lot at 5pm? Who's with me?

Just heard from my son who lives on the lower east side of Manhattan (6th floor) and he said the wind is "nasty" and that the worse thing is hearing stuff flying off the buildings. I went to check TWC and they said there were gusts up to 90mph. Hope it's too high an estimate. Scary stuff. To my son and all NYC, NJ and Philly inhabitants please stay safe.

Sustained winds of 90 mph in some spots. Gusts up to 115 mph.

Winds are AWAYS at least 30mph higher at 300ft above the ground than ground level because of the lack of friction with ground plus when you add in the tunneling effect from the buildings themselves mid-town Manhattan is not the place to be.
