I have a colleague that lives near Newark. Anyone have pictures or video of the conditions there? Haven't heard from him in a couple hours.

Was in Nashville, TN for homecoming. About 2/3 of my friends from the Northeast are stranded until Wednesday or Thursday. I was like the last flight to land at BWI last night at 10:30 PM. It looks like we are going to get smoked in DC tonight. Rite Aid across the street looks like a bomb went off in it; all water / snacks / etc gone. My roommates and I thinking about going to a hurricane party and getting blasted as everyone's work closed their offices for today and tomorrow pretty much.

And nobody who reads the hockey thread is surprised by this lol. Expect to see Wulfie floating away somewhere with little Flintstones arm inflatables as he's passed out.

[hey]

It's picking up a lot here now. Just lost power for 5 seconds too.

Wow. East Penn AAA has completely shut down. Nobody answering phones, nobody there. And they aren't even getting hit yet. CHICKENSHITS!

Spc. Brett Hyde, Tomb Sentinel, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), keeps guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during Hurricane Sandy at Arlington National Cemetery, Va., Oct. 29, 2012. Hyde lives by the Sentinel's Creed which in part says “Through the years of diligence and praise and the discomfort of the elements, I will walk my tour in humble reverence to the best of my ability”.

in about 40mins, theyre shutting down a substation in bridgeport, ct. 35,000 customers about to lose power at noon

They didn't. Apparently, they were about a few inches away from doing so, but the tide stopped rising.

I'm in Noroton Heights, shit's starting to get real here.

The worst thing that can happen is Sandy decides to be an asshole and goes stationary once it hits. Hurricanes slowing down to like 3-6mph once they hit land is the ultimate dickmove, Issac chilled in Louisiana for 3 days which is why the storm was much much worse than expected from a CAT1.

Sure people are going to lose power, bucket trucks will not go out to restore power until the winds drop below 35mph.

Public transit service shutting down at 2 pm in MA.

It's pretty crazy seeing all these pics of the devastation in places that are only 30-40 miles from me. I'm here in north rockland about 25m N of manhattan and all we got is a light drizzle (which only started an hour ago) and about 25mph winds. Been windy here since last night though. Didn't have to go to work but I know it's worse in the city!

Isn't that starting to push it to the border of a Cat 2?
