Topic: Sandy
I hope you guys across the pond are all battened down, with plenty of supplies (beer) in and keep safe when Sandy hits you.
Take care, Roger

Re: Sandy
Looks like my friends on the east coast will be getting hammered,I was hoping it would go more out too sea but looks like Frankenstorm will get them. I am glad my sons in georgia and s.carolina got passed pretty much on this one. My oldest is getting ready to go too the states above them as he is a electrical lineman and they get called too other states often.

Re: Sandy
Well, it's been pretty quiet in Virginia so far. We're getting rain and wind of course, but not like what we were told to expect. The worst is yet to come for us. I hope all our Chordians in the Delaware, New York, New Jersey area are able to remain safe and relatively comfortable.

Re: Sandy
Yeah, good luck everybody and I hope you stay safe. Just been looking on the news and it looks like it could be pretty bad out there.

We're watching the trees sway and waiting to lose power. Each hour with it feels like a blessing. This song seems to fit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMyCa35_mOg

Re: Sandy
Hooooooweeee. It's getting wicked out there. I'm surprised that we still have power. This may be my last post for a while as I expect to lose power any moment.

Re: Sandy
It`s all quiet now. I ended up with a lot of leaves and one halloween ornament down. Lucky for me. I had 4 trees cut down back in july. They can`t fall if they are gone

Re: Sandy
Well, we're a dozen or so hours before it's supposed to end and things are all calm outside. We still have power. There is a bit of flooding in our town. I'm sure it's serious to the few folks affected, but from an overall regional perspective the flooding is not extensive or severe. A few road closures and that's about the extent of it for my town.
I hope others have fared well.

Re: Sandy
Me made it through with a little damage to a front yard tree and mailbox. Never lost power although it did blink a few times.

Re: Sandy
The news shows extensive flooding, an electricity sub station shorting out, severe snow falls and reports of 18 deaths with possible more to be reported.
Hope all Chordians and their families are OK.

Re: Sandy
No major problems here in western Virginia. We got a little bit of snow and rain. More snow is predicted for tonight with very low temps. Prayers going out for those who suffered losses due to this storm.

Re: Sandy
Hope all you Chordies in Eastern USA and Canada are doing OK through this terrible storm. The news media as seen from down here in NZ just repeats all the big networks reports and footage, but that just glosses over the real suffering of the ordinary guy in those parts of the storm path. Thnking of you all.

Re: Sandy
I have friends in Sarnia, ON on Lake Huron, and he shot some video of 15-20 waves crashing in. 20 foot waves on a freshwater lake - amazing. 85 MPH winds.
Looks like he and his family are fine. Down here in Windsor, we got 50MPH winds, and heavy rain, and damn, it got cold. It's all done now, moved way up north.

Re: Sandy
Friends nearby lost power, the wind blew pretty good, but we were fine here. Never lost power and thank GOD we didn't get the storm here as bad as they were predicting. I guess just a bit south did, and of course it seems NYC and NJ are still under water. Crazy. Hope any of our friends in that area are safe!!!

Re: Sandy
Not bad in my area. 40 mph winds and 4" of snow. Kind of like getting typical winter weather 2 months early. Lots of tree branches to be cleaned out of the back yard but that's about it. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those folks that got hit hard further east.
