Yup. I know. ohwell It was like a war zone driving into work this morning. I've never seen anything like it. Trees and fences down on every single street I drove down.

I went to get my Dad last night, more for my own sanity than anything else. He lost his power, so I knew I wouldn't sleep worrying about him.

Anyway, he lives up in Lake Isle, in Eastchester, which is just about 8 or 9 miles due north of where I live. Well, the Hutchinson River Parkway, which floods out during even a mild storm, was closed, as was the Bronx River Parkway. It took me 2 hours to get up and 2 hours to get back. There were so many power lines down that I had to swerve a few times just to avoid them.

Just awful. It reminds me of a Florida storm, because I've certainly never seen anything like it up here ohwell.

And SC, you're such a weather geek! tongue lol But I mean that with respect. You really get passionate when you're "covering" the weather for us here on the GBB. I think you're more passionate about your weather forecasts than you are about The Godfather! lol

My husband's company just relocated to new corporate offices. A huge pine tree fell on their building and smashed through six panes of exterior glass. The glass and water damage is pretty bad.

Hey, did you hear the joke about the leaky roof?

Never mind, it's probably over your head.

What happened to the roof? Did you lose shingles or was there actual damage to the roofing itself?

Looks like you may be getting some more rain tonight. Hopefully it won't amount to much.

I can't believe the amount of damage that the area received.... as pizzaboy said, this is just about the worst I've ever seen in the area (with the exception of Hurricane Donna in 1960). HUNDREDS of huge trees are down all over the place.

The only thing close to this was when I was in Florida during a moderate hurricane a few years ago. I've never seen anything like this in this area, in my entire life. Yet, my sister who lives in central Jersey about 20 miles from here says it was not that bad by her.

Hopefully you can get a new roof out of it. We went through hurricaine Hugo when we lived in Charleston. We lost some shingles but we got a new roof out of it. So I know what you guys are going through.

We certainly got serious rain, and the local reservoirs and streams are close to overflowing;however, I don't think we got the wind that most everyone else got. I think that's what caused most of the damage.

We were hit badly in Hurricane Floyd. Was that in 2000?

Floyd was 1999. I remember because it was my daughters 3rd year at Villanova. She had to evacuate her apartment because a nearby stream was overflowing. The cars in the parking lot were completely submerged. Fireman had to help them evacuate.
I heard the NY Thruway was closed on Saturday due to flooding.

We got hit during Floyd when the dam at Hyenga Lake broke. It was bad. Our backyard sloped down toward some woods and our girls had a swing set at the bottom at the time. It was completely submerged. I would have felt fairly comfortable doing high dives off the roof without worrying about hitting my head.

Yeah, but you tried that after the water dried up.

On the positive side, it explains a lot.

Shhhhhh! Nobody else is supposed to know about that.

I just heard the funniest thing from a TV meteorologist. He said that this storm is like a "cougar", on its last legs, but still capable of packing quite a punch. lol

First day of Spring and it is gorgeous! 42 degrees and sunny at 7am. Went for a 4 mile jog on the AC boardwalk. Ocean was calm with a slight breeze from the west. It's about 70 now. OMG, what a break from a bitch of a winter...sorry, Old Man Winter, so I guess it was a bastard of a winter. tongue

Same here, Yogi. We've had so much rain, on top of feet of snow that only melted a few weeks ago. There are areas nearby that have been inundated with flooding. They showed some poor guy who just finished drying out his house from the last flood and replaced his hot water heater and furnace, only to be hit again!

Monday and Tuesday...too much rain. Wed cleared, Thurs was clear, sunny, cool, and today....we're suppose to reach 80, same Sat. and Sun. 75! I took off today for mulitple reasons, but in about 30 minutes I'm loading my bike and heading for the A.C. Boardwalk for a nice 12 mile ride. Hope to see my grandkids today too. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!
