Man I hope you all do ok because all this set-up sounds like the beginning of a disaster movie, the sort that ends with the ruins of NYC becoming a futuristic masxium security prison and only accessible by glider plane.

No rain down in the Bronx so far, oh well. Got the word that the office will be closed for the next few days.

Now excuse me while I continue to consume the alcohol that I have purchased to ride out this Hurricane.

Seems to be the calm before the storm... had some rain earlier, but now just a bit of wind... when I wake up, I'm expecting a hellstorm -- and it won't even be the worst of it yet!

I hope they're wrong, but good luck/wishes for those in the area! Be smart, careful, and safe!

If (when) power goes out tomorrow, I probably won't check in here much to save my battery -- but will on FB when I can. Catch up with y'all soon!

I know, I know. I hope the damages are minimal and everything gets fixed fast later on.

Welp, right now up here we're just getting a ton of wind and some rain, but Dunkin Donuts is still open so all is good for now.

Just drove into Jersey and no rain yet. From what the news is saying, rain won't be the issue for us up here, 2-4". It will be the wind and storm surge.

Winds are picking up here now. We've had (locally) a gust to 47 mph already. The storm is still at least 6-8 hours away from when it will get to its worst.

I don't know how much longer I'll have power (the local authority is already reporting 10,000 outages) but I expect to be in the dark soon for at least a few days (warnings are predicting a 7-10 day period).

Be safe, everyone.

A few miscellaneous news items:

* A good part of Atlantic City is already underwater.

* NYC will be closing the Holland Tunnel and Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel this afternoon. (These are two major traffic thoroughfares in and out of Manhattan).

* The Stock Exchange is closed today and MAY close tomorrow. If it does (closes tomorrow) it will be the first time since the Great Blizzard of 1888 that it's been shuttered two days in a row (due to weather).

* The next high tide will be around 8:30 p.m. at the Battery (the lower part of Manhattan - near the World Trade Center and Wall Street). The predictions for it are that it will be a record setting surge and may flood lower Manhattan.

* Sandy is STILL getting stronger! The latest information (just coming out) is showing sustained winds of 90 mph. It now holds the record for the lowest barometer on record north of Cape Hatteras, NC.

In south Philly it's really not bad for us so far, The temp is 53 and the winds are around 25 to 40 mph. I drank myself to sleep last night. Probably do the same today. Dunkin Donuts is open and so far so good ! Waiting for sandy herself!' Hang in everybody!

If there is any good news, it is that the storm is now moving faster than originally anticipated.

That'll save the Battery from having a high tide at the moment of landfall.

There's a breaking story from midtown Manhattan. A LARGE construction crane is now hanging down the side of a building. Apparently a building was having some construction work done at 57th and 7th and a crane was left atop the building. Somehow, apparently, the wind knocked it over.... this crane is huge! It's boom is about 100 feet long!!

Good luck to all my friends in the "eye of the storm." Be careful, stay safe. I hope it turns out to be not as bad as most think.

Take care. I'm thinking of you guys. smile

They are evacuating all the buildings near the crane collapse in case it falls on the street below.

All highways in CT are closed. All NJ Transit and PATH trains are canceled, and all bus service into Port Authority Bus Terminal is suspended. NYC schools are closed for the second day in a row. Huge chunks of the FDR Drive, the Bronx River Parkway and the Garden State Parkway are shut down. The Tappan Zee Bridge is closing as of 4:00 pm.
