This is gonna suck!!!

For us here on the North Eastern coast of the US, hurricane Sandy is going to be a serious problem. Just spent 6 hours setting up generators and 3 huge 800 gallons per minute trash pumps and numerous sum pumps so my house does not lose power or get flooded out. Now I have to spend hours packing up snakes and lizards. Awesome!!!! Not really.

I will be taking pictures of the madness as me and my two neighbors man the pumps. LOL. This is not going to be good.

The only good thing that will come out of this is that being that I am in the home improvement business, the phone will be ringing off the hook after the storm.

Sending good safe thoughts your way.. I hope it's not that bad but we have our generator set up and ready to go as well as some emergency stuff. I am not in a flood zone so I should be ok with that.

You all in the east coast are in my thoughts and prayers

I really am hoping for the best outcome for all of you guys! At least there's been this much warning time. I'll just be over here on the California coast waiting for the big earthquake to throw me into the ocean *lol*

If you need to house some of your hogs I have a sweet place

Be safe and throughout the ordeal, just think of the silver lining of your pockets after the storm...

Good luck and hope you, your family, and animals are safe!

Being semi-experienced with hurricanes, a cat 1 isn't too bad. Depending upon how far inland you are will play a huge part of how much damage is possible. I would expect a power outage for 1-5 days, mainly due to fallen trees and power lines. How quickly your power gets restored will depend upon how prepared your light company is and how quickly they can repair the damage. Even if you aren't in a flood zone, I would sandbag doorways and board up windows if possible. You can only do so much to prepare for a hurricane. It's one of those things you just have to ride out and see what happens. Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.

I have all the NE coast in my thoughts as Sandy runs through.

That looks like its going to be nasty... I'm in OH and getting some effects of it... nothing bad though, normal weather for Ohio in October.... good luck and be safe.

And I'll be waiting here in southern Utah for this as well, because then I get beach front property ;D

I think Cedar City will be just below the sea level, and Provo will get the beach just a drive down to Nephi

Rogue628 · 10-30-12, 10:20 PM

I hope you, your family, and animals are alright! Sandy was worse than I anticipated. But from what I understand, she hit a cold front and it spun her up more.
