As a Florida resident, Cat 1s and TS don't bother me so it's kinda of wacky to see just how much its messing with things up there. Hell, down here we just look at the news and think, "Let me know when it's a Cat 5, otherwise go away"
What a shitty hurricane, the center it was supposed to pass right over this town but I didn't even have to close the windows. I guess it dissipated fast
outta curiosity, are there parts of NY without power? friend is lvling with us in WoW called him to wake him up 'cause he's a slacker, then I thought maybe he's got no power to begin with. He lives in Brooklyn.
I'm still without power. Gonna be out probably till tomorrow. This laptop isnt going to last, using it to charge my phone while tethering for now.
Washington Heights in Manhattan here and everyone around us has power. We're also 200 feet above sea level though. I'm sure some of the areas downtown and along the rivers had power shut off because of the flooding (all of Manhattan's power lines run underground).
I tried to walk down to the Delaware river last night but turned back when parts of my town where in shin-deep water(I eventually made it going an alternate route, and it was boring) The whole fifteen hours without electricity was annoying tho
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that we're safe and where we are didn't get hit nearly as hard as the projections suggested. Just wasn't as all what I was expecting after spending 4 days dealing with people in panic.
Where do you live at Rocl? I'm in Florence Twp right on the Delaware river. It wasn't nearly as bad here as some places I'm hearing about. That pic of Belmar.. God damn. We had like 3 poles down and 3 or 4 trees.
Power went out here last night around 9:00pm, which totally fucked my shop vac'ing for the night in the basement. Had to let it go until this morning when the power came back on at 10 am. Never had this much water down here, this indoor/outdoor rug is gunna be dryin' out for days.
also they showed a picture on the news before, route 18 in new brunswick is completely submerged
i have to drive up there later, how i mine for road
my profile lies since I'm at home and not at school now, I live right across the river from Burlington, in Pennsylvania not New Jersey :d
I think I saw a few trees down last night, maybe 3? definitely 2. wasn't catastrophic but annoying. the places with flooding were along the old Delaware canal path, it's notoriously bad during rain anyways
Ah burlington is basically 2 mins south of me. I live across the river from the Tullytown Dump lol. I haven't seen the river yet but I haven't heard of any flooding from that in town or north/south of us sooo.. I dunno. Was a lot better than I thought it was gunna be for my area. Coulda been worse.
im in north brunswick right now by farrington lake, if you want to see some down trees and branches this is the place to be
i dont know what my house looks like up in somerset, the basement floods anyway so im sure when i go home in a couple hours ill be vaccing
Rockland County here, 20miles outside NYC. Lotsa flooding around the county and power outages everywhere. Hope they restore stuff by the evening time.
