Hurricane Sandy

Imagine 4 more years of this kind of stuff, I don't think the US can handle that.

The only clearly visible building south of midtown that still has power is the Goldman Sachs HQ - every floor is still lit.

Ya scanner chatter of people getting arrested for driving/walking around. Fewer pictures coming in I would expect but it is for the best.

idk about those fewer pictures. I'm posting them almost as fast as they pop into my stream.

Lost power. Fucking light line is half a block from my apartment.

House moved from its foundation due to storm surge flooding Row Carpenter Beach in Rhode Island. #Sandy via NWS Chat

I posted earlier a house in Mantoloking collapsed and ended up in the water, it did strike the bridge.

reportedly about 13 structure fires in that area, lots of structure fires all over the barrier island as well as in brick and seaside. We can not get to these fires, so those homes are fucked. Wish we had a satellite picture of the amazing orange glow the barrier island is turning into.

We've aso had numerous multi house fully involved fires in pine beach. ocean gate lost a large building. brick is losing several homes. Pretty much everything but toms river is on fire. Beachwood has a big one going too. We have so much manpower on this but there is just so many, and we can't get to the ones on the barrier island where there is twice the amount of fires.

I have no idea how I made it through this only losing power for 30 seconds in total. Bitches musta replaced the transformer with how often it would fail in the mildest of storms.

Yeah man I'm down here in Bethesda and we've also only lost power for about 30sec. A rare win for Maryland so far. I hear it's going to get worse, though.
