October 30, 201213 yr And they're closing my school (which is also where my wife works) tomorrow as well. At least I don't have to worry about our daughter now as her daycare is most likely closed as well.
October 30, 201213 yr I was just thinking about my friends who had basement apartments in the East Village. Holy hell.
October 30, 201213 yr Oh shit, that can't be good (ConEd explosion). Edited October 30, 201213 yr by shellylh
October 30, 201213 yr Yeezh, lens flare much? Kidding, obviously the blackout is worse than the photography...
October 30, 201213 yr Batten down the hatches NYC! Good thing my brother and aunt live in the Upper East Side.
October 30, 201213 yr Batten down indeed. Hoboken PATH station Edited October 30, 201213 yr by blessingx
October 30, 201213 yr That is nuts. Grahame will be pleased to hear that our disaster relief system is in effect and all NY office drives are up through LA.
October 30, 201213 yr The flooding photos (including that PATH station looking like das boot) I was getting just before I left the office did not look good. The wind damage didn't look bad (yet) but it's going to blow for so damn long. It looks like New York will be miserable for a while. Stay safe. Don't step in any electrified puddles. Be patient. Try not to kill your neighbors unless they loot.
October 30, 201213 yr Wind Map looks like the Luck Vortex right at the moment that Colin purchases a raffle ticket, as of 3:33.
October 30, 201213 yr Wow, ConEd plant pretty scary..... We survived with I think 2 small blips, one really a brown out. School for my son closed again today, but I'm going to work..... Best of luck all, stay safe!
October 30, 201213 yr Woke up and still have power. Looks like my wife's argument that a generator is overkill is likely true. I hope things are going well for the HC crew.
October 30, 201213 yr We got couple of flickers but that was it. There are areas of outage only couple of blocks/streets away from us so we lucked out. No work or daycare (which is less than a mile away from us) today again.
October 30, 201213 yr Dad had to be evacuated last night from his apt after a levee broke in little ferry, nj. Around 1am 2 families that live on the first floor came up to stay with him on the second and this morning he and the other families had to be evacuated by boat as the water had gotten halfway up the stairs. Don't know how long his phone battery is going to last but hopefully where ever he and the others are it is safe. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/298612/storm-breaks-new-jersey-levee-police
October 30, 201213 yr Yup, the power stayed on after 7pm last night for us. Pretty calm this morning, still gusting pretty good but the sun is out inbetween the bands of clouds that are passing by. Once again we're really lucky to be on the spur of the grid that we are. 4 houses down the street has no power and it is the same story for 6 miles to the East. Here's a quick picture I grabbed on the way in, less than 1/4 mile from my house. That was definitely the worst damage I saw on the way in. It mostly just looks like a bad windstorm blew threw, not a hurricane. We didn't get anywhere near the rainfall that was predicted so no real flooding to speak of. No real dammage at work which is very good.
October 30, 201213 yr Never really got all that windy here and rain stayed fairly light. My cleanup will consist of leaves.
