Hurricane Sandy

Yes! There were mile-long lines around here when the April 27 tornadoes hit, and this is NO WHERE NEAR as heavily populated as the areas affected by Hurricane Sandy.

The headaches are Not over yet in the areas that were ravaged by Super storm Sandy. An impending powerful Nor'easter is expected to impact those same areas by the Wednesday-Thursday time frame of this week:

Hi guys, yeah, checking in.

On Day 9 of no power. Thank god I have a woodburning stove because it's been below freezing the last 2 nights. Currently, we're starting to get the effects of the Nor'easter and it's snow flurrying. The time change hasn't helped, either, it's dark when I get out of work now, so daylight is scarce and at a premium. Our water *was* okay, but got compromised 2 days ago so it's back to boiling it for potable use. Apart from the first 2 days when they had leaks to fix, I have had natural gas coming into the house, though, and a gas stove, so doing that and cooking doesn't pose a problem like it does for those with electric that have been using their grills outside. I live on the Raritan Bay and the far side of my neighborhood lost about 20-25 homes to the storm surge so I wasn't expecting it'd be a easy road. FEMA finally got here on Sunday and I've been swinging by there after work each day for ice to keep the cooler going with for perishable foods (because all the supermarkets around here lost their ice when they lost power,) and as of yesterday there's a hot meals station for those with electric stoves. Happy the gas line situation is improving, I was able to fill up yesterday and it "only" took me a half hour!

I also just heard that it looks like the New York/ New Jersey area is going to be hit by another storm. Not as bad as Sandy, but the new one can delay rebuilding even longer.

Sh*t. (Sorry) My grandma lives in NY, and she's already out of power. Now she's really gonna have to go to a hotel. Damn. No calling and checking if she's ok for me!

We already have our snowstorm.

Hence, the reason why I made this post with info on that Nor'easter, before cleargreenwater posted her situation:

I didn't just post this for nothing.
