Never really in any danger. One of these times, it will get our area. We always seem to slide by.

This time we did stand out in the front yard and look up into the rotation within the wall cloud. It was a little crazy. It could have dropped a tail at any time.

90 is too hot. :nonono:

[Joe G]

90 is too hot. :yes::iagree:

That's what I meant.

I don't want our pool 90 degrees, it is perfect between 85-87 degrees, when it's in the high 90's and up outside. :grin:

That's what I meant.

I don't want our pool 90 degrees, it is perfect between 85-87 degrees, when it's in the high 90's and up outside. :grin:It was like 88 I think.

It provided no "cool down" when you were in it - was too close to the outside temp (was between 95-100 this weekend).

I still say 80-82 is the highest - unless you're trying to make it warmer than the outside during the cool spring or fall weather, but then it's still too much like a hot tub.

We're hot blooded.

I'm staying away from CoPilot before I find out she's packing our suitcases. :nonono:

Is she heading to Goatsburg? :look:

[Tommy Gun]

Last time she made us go we went to the Va mountains, the flooding there was worse than at home. :nonono:

and on the way home we couldn't get gas, electricity was out everywhere. :nonono:

i believe it is always! better to ride it out since we are 10 miles plus from the coast.

[68fastback]

I'd stay home for this one ...even if it hits VA Beach dead on (models say it's probably going north of you and the strongest winds are to the north of the storm center) the peak winds will only be 70-ish ...still no joke but safe to be home, I think, once you tie stuff down, etc. Who knows, the track is still changing but all the models show only a tropical storm at landfall. Now, if you were close enough to the water for ocean flooding to be a concern, then yeah ...since it's a full moon and there will be two high-tides during the period it will be hasseling the coastline. jmo. Could be worse in the mountains since trees in full-leaf and soft ground could wreak havoc there (like Irene did in upstate NY). Be safe.

[The Bone]

What is the update on the storm? I hope the storm stays out to sea but with the system from the west meeting with the system from the east they say its going to be big.

[Tommy Gun]

Looks like we have 2-3 hours before the first rain bands start hitting us...taking the car out for an hour ride...:yay:

Got back from ride 15 minutes before it started raining. :grin:

raining for 20 minutes now...ready for 2 plus days of rain. :nonono:

:wtg: :banana: :chirp:


Be safe, Bill. Looks like TS-grade wind and lots of rain heading your way but the mountains out west of you are looking at 3-4' of snow :faint: ...in case CP was thinking of abducting you to go there :nonono:

[Tommy Gun]

We did have plans to go see the leaves in the mountains this weekend. :nonono:

[68fastback]

:surprised: ... :nonono: ;-)

[68fastback]

Good timing!! :wtg: Hang in there, Bill ...the generator is your friend. How far are you from the coast ...are you well above the water table? You're gonna get like a foot of rain over the next couple days.

---

I haven't seen any projections of where it goes after landfall. Hope we just get rain and not wind like Irene :yikes: I had to pull the beeber (lol) dam out again yesterday (second time this month :faint:) just in case we get lots of rain so we don't lose that road ...the little buggers cute but relentless. Takes hours of slogging 3-4K pounds of wood and goop -lol.

[Tommy Gun]

10 miles from the coast. No problem w water here usually.

charging generator battery now.

[Gr8snkbite]

wont amount to much here....its hitting land way north of us.....i aint sweatin it.....

we camped out in the back yard last night too....:grin: Eric was overjoyed...great night for it too, had a blast.

[Tommy Gun]

Cool, did you have a bonfire? :giggle:

[68fastback]

10 miles from the coast. No problem w water here usually.

Saw this afternoon's NWS update before dinner ...it's now going to turn west later (more north) around central NJ so should mostly miss VA, Bill. Models show it then heading +/- due-west until it hits the cold front, then making a 110* right turn and heading NNE right across PA and right up here :faint: Last model I saw they upped the gust estimates for here from 27/45 to 57/75 mph. We're high and dry, but it's the trees that will wreak havoc here (like they did for Irene) -- on structures and power lines ...and the oaks still have leaves to catch the wind.

As long as nothing hits the house/garage we can do without power/cable for a couple weeks if we have to -- both cars filled + 2 cans give us 10-14 days of 8 hrs/day generator use. It's colder this time around but still relatively mild: 50s day high-30s night, so not too bad at all. I sure hope the mountain towns that got mashed by Irene don't get flooded too bad this time ...most of them are broke and some just got final road/bridge re-builds completed this past august.

Looks like NYC will get some bad storm surge since they're 100 miles or so north of landfall and much of coastal Brooklyn, Queens and most all of LI is barely above sea level -- not looking good but could be a lot worse.

I guess it could still change again -- we shall see. NWS issuing another major update tomorrow afternoon sometime. :pray:

I could come up and try out my new shotgun. I need to test it to see what kind of spread it shoots.

Beaver hunting from the back of the Raptor. Sounds like a Redneck Olympic event.

Hey Bill, you guys getting that big storm?

[Tommy Gun]

Little bit of rain so far.

[Alloy Dave]

Little bit of rain so far.
what's the forecast though? Will it hit you hard?

[68fastback]

:yes:

Mr Mossberg or Mr Browning may need to help "persuade" them. . :shades:

I have a nice 1969 Savage 12ga 5-round pump (75th anniversary edition) with adjustable choke. I bought it from a fellow when I lioeved in NYC who bought it from a gun collector in NYC whose business (a butcher shop) went under in 1971 ...I paid $75. With a dear-slayer slug-round it **** near will reset your shoulder -lol- and will take out a roadside pole barrier ...or so I've 'heard' :innocent:

[68fastback]

see post 433 ;-) ...I hope it changes course again.

[Alloy Dave]

I don't read back. But I did in this case lol.

Sandy? :birdy:

[Tommy Gun]

Still just a little light rain. :birdy:

[Tommy Gun]

:waiting2:

[Shlbylvr]

TG, glad you're only getting light rain.

[Tommy Gun]

:tiphat:



Winds are picking up slightly, maybe a 40 mph gust every 10 minutes.

[Tommy Gun]

Actually I think it's a little worse west and north of us? Strange

[68fastback]

The right side is always worse since the wind rotates counterclockwise.

---

Latest update shows it still going inland around central NJ and then turning N in PA and up into east-central NY (so we'd be on the right side of it now :doh2:) ...county officials are saying be prepared for 7-10 days of power out (again!) :doh2: Gonna pick up a few more things in the stores and then pack everything in the garage. Ques sera sera. :pray:

[Tommy Gun]

Raining more steady now, still not really windy.

[Darkside]

Raining more steady now, still not really windy.

Prep the jet ski's, just in case you need to go to the store

[Tommy Gun]

Never even started jet skis this year. :nonono:

[HSURB]

This weekend was Family Weekend at our sons fraternity. One set of parents were from Virginia Beach and they were concerned about getting home today.

HSURB®

[Tommy Gun]

Not that bad here, it was over hyped again.

just a steady medium rain now, hardly any wind.

Supposedly heavier rain to the west and north of us away from the coast.

[Gr8snkbite]

It's as he says, not much really happening, though everyone and their mother is closed tomorrow.....:nonono: chickens....:giggle:

[Tommy Gun]

Yeah, crazy.

Maybe somethings happening tonight? :doh:

[Gr8snkbite]

Maybe I'll put the tent back up and camp out agin.....:haha:

[68fastback]

It's gooing to slam NYC bad -- will likely be the worst storm ever there. They announce mandatory evacuations in NYC zone-A (most flood prone) -- about 380,000 people. NYC is expecting 8-12' storm surges or more ...across 3 high tides.

It's going to turn inland further north than originally prediceted (S of NYC), so whatever you're seeing in VA is proabably all you're gonna get. You lucked-out, Bill!

For us it will be the wind. I've stuffed everything in the garage and tied-down everything else ...have ladders up against both garage doors with the car and the truck pinned against the ladders (so the garage doors are braced for high wind). I'm just hoping we're as lucky as we were last time (lost some trees but NO damage to house or garage) :pray: Looks like there will be less rain this time -- we got 15" from Irene ...this looks like it will only be 5" or so, but the winds will higher and last longer -- they're saying 1-1.5 days. This is a heavily wooded area -- we live in a mature forest wall-to-wall with 80-100' trees ...everywhere.

Oh, joy :nonono:

[HSURB]

Stay safe Dan.

My 3rd wife blew for about that long on our original honeymoon. Was a real doosey.

...thanks, Tim ...We'll try ...I'm so NOT looking forward to this.

[papashelby]

:haha:

My daughter is south eastern PA. Same thing there, everything shut down. I've got a generator for sale, anybody need one?

[68fastback]

Fired the gen up the morning ...don't know what we would have done last time without it ...no power for 11 days (but it was warmer then).

Hold onto that gen, papa! You never know when you'll need it. Hope your daughter fairs ok with this storm.

[Tommy Gun]

[Tommy Gun]

Anyone seen Sandy yet? :birdy:

[Gr8snkbite]

:no:

She never really showed....:grin: calm as can be outside....

[Tommy Gun]

Sandy stood us up. :nonono:

[Boston Mike]

Sandy is making for a boring day at work for me. NYSE/NASDAQ cancelled stock trading today. First time due to weather since 1985 (Gloria). Prior to that, it was a 1969 blizzard.

Yawn.

Hoping for major erosion on Cape Cod though.......................maybe my dad's house will be waterfront during my life time. LOL

[Shlbylvr]

Stay safe in the NE.

[Alloy Dave]

Hope everyone is safe up there...Dan, Greg, George, others....someone is on Long Island...is that Lurker? Please update us to let us know you're all ok.

no, Tek is on LI.

[Tommy Gun]

Tek?

whos that? :popcorn:

[68fastback]

It's been blowing pretty good since last night but will be getting a lot worse. I notice one model now shows it going a little further into PA before turning north ...that would be good. Either way the next 36 hours should be interesting :nonono: It only started raining about an hour ago ...the center of the storm is still a few hundred miles away? Amazing we haven't lost power ...yet.

[Gr8snkbite]

around 8pm...all hell is breaking loose....up state....:grin:


:giggle:




stay safe...:sofa:

[Tommy Gun]

Still just rain here :nonono:

Made $0 today, good thing we had an awesome month this month.

[Joe G]

Made $0 today, good thing I'm rich and don't even really need to work.

:wow2:

[68fastback]

Hope Dan and everyone else in the path stay safe.

Thanks, Joe!

Can't beleive it! The power is still on (tho it has 'wiggled' a little) -- truly amazing since the power goes out here all the time.

Looks like the storm made landfall a bit further south than anticipated (around Atlantic City?). Lower Manhattan is underwater -- ConEd shut the power down to prevent losing the whole lower Manhattan system ...some pics of underground transformers flaming out looked like July 4th!

The latest projection shows it going west thru 2/3 of PA before turning north across west-central NYS and the eatern part of L.Ontario, so we might not see anything worse tomorrow than we've seen so far (our county still says widespread and long-duration outages for here but I'm hoping not).

Would be aweseom if we dodge this one!!!!!!!!!!! But who knows ...Orf might get some high winds by tomorrow night now.

[Shlbylvr]

Finally got some wind.

sheesh


shoulda had beans for lunch.

[Shlbylvr]

Dan,

Hope you guys are still doing well.

These storms are a nightmare, but i'm sure you're all prepared..

Thanks, Heidi! So far so good.

NYC got trashed! Still over 1M w/o power down there, .5M in CT and another 146,000 up here in the Hudson valley -- except for us ...we TOTALLY lucked out this time. :yippee:

Mass transit in NYC won't be back for several days (likely longer in lower Manhattan) -- widepsread flooding in lots of residential communities. My buddy is going to at his friends' limo company in Queens and walk into Manhattan to work this afternnon and sleep at the hotel he works at. Airports still closed. Some bridges will open this afternoon. Tunnels flooded. NYC is a mess.

Total damage now estimated at $20 billion :faint:

We've tried reaching friends on Atlantic Beach (only 5 houses off the beach) who decided to say on their second story ...talked to them yesterday, OK; today, no phones (house or cell) working. He's a retired NYC detective and is very resourcefull so we're hoping they're ok and phones are just out. :pray:
