Storm Sandy - best wishes


I live in CT. Have stock piled water, batteries, lantern oil, gas for the generator, have secured items in my yard. Here's hoping the storm will not be as bad as they predict. Some local gas stations have already run out of gas. Walmart in my town no longer has bottled water. Folks driving around town seem to be in a hurry.
I will stay home and listen to some music and/or watch football. Good luck to all, especially those by the shore line.

I live in California, but I am also praying for those in Sandy's path. My sister lives on the Cape, about 14' above sea level, and maybe a half mile inland.
I live up in Rochester NY which is a good 4 1/2 - 5 hours from the coast and they're even telling is to prepare for wide spread power outages and heavy rains with flooding. This storm is huge. I bought one of the last generators at Lowes. If I lose power in heavy rains my basement will flood without the sump pump. Best wishes to all. Be safe and don't try and travel.
I live just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, about 70 miles west of Long Beach Island. We have a bullseye painted on us, as it looks like the storm will be on us full steam by about this time Monday night. We have been told to expect a sustained period of time of winds in excess of 80 mph, and rainfall amounts of 8-10 inches, as well as the possibility of a long period of time without electricity. It's a little breezy out as of this writing (9:30 pm Sunday), with light rain. Stay close to home and be safe everyone....
