Just Jack Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 PA just declared and Philly is under SOE effective 5pm tomorrow thru 5pm Tuesday did you get enough eggs, bread, and milk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Storm's supposed to come ashore at high tide during a full moon. You couldn't time it better to maximize coastal flooding. Wow.... Yea, the SoE is so they can mobilize the resources in advance. With a storm like this you've gotta - board up, sand bags, etc.... Different beast than the snow that you all normally see that declaration for and cleaning things up after. Be safe guys. I know that most of these fall apart but all it takes is one to change everything. Hopefully it's just some rainy days off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 You know, if i wanted to deal with this **** on a yearly basis, I'd move to Miami. At least the rest of the year's weather would be better >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffaloed in Pa Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 It looks like Jersey is going to get brunt of storm. NYC east of eye wall. Storm front approaching from West. They are saying possibly worst storm in 100 years. This has makings of the Perfect Storm- and it is supposed to hit on Oct 30, the 23rd anniversary of the Perfect Storm. This system is awesome! http://www.ssd.noaa....s/flash-wv.html Maybe that hard rain will clean the place up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 2 games are being played this afternoon right in projected eye of storm: Fins @ Jets in Meadowlands NJ, Falcons @ Eagles. How unhappy are Dolphins and Falcons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm hoping we don't lose power again like we did for a week from Hurricane Irene. The basement flooded and we would have been fine if the sump pump had power. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new gas generator - it'll be her on Oct. 31st. I may have a flooded basement again, but I won't have to throw out $500+ worth of food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Wantagh NY on the South shore of long island, Jones Beach is the nearest landmark. I live by the Sound in CT and fear for LI. LI is a break wall for CT. Good luck. I wish you all safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I am becoming fearful of Sandy. Possible 8-12 storm surge in LI sounds and NYC. It is setting up to be the worst case scenario. 80 MPH SW gusts driving water into sound, towards city, and building high. They are talking 15-20 foot waves. If I lived in NYC or by beach, I would most definitely get the hell out asap. Hop a plane or train somewhere, drive, whatever, and go someplace nice and try and have fun.

Pete Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Go grab some candy bars and a beer. Youll be alright Loaded up on chocolate, bourbon,and beer! I am a weather freak that loves storms! I have been through Blizzard 77, Hurricane Irene, Hurricane Gloria, I have seen tornado's, I love it all! But this storm scares the bejesus out of me. Gloria the storm surge was past route 1 and almost to interstate 95, This storm surge is supposed to surpass the 1938 surge(the worst surge for this area on record). Leaves will clog grates, astronomical high tides, and a perfect storm type set up with 90 mph SW winds driving the sound towards NYC. Gloria destroyed south of route 1. And I think NYC will be under water. I hope to God I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
