wish I could get back to work. I have power but work is out....Just sitting around waiting for the call to come in blows. I want to go to the movies or something!
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

Power out since 5:00 Monday. Pretty much the entire county went out, our town was completely knocked out. No flood damage so far inland, but countless trees down. What looks like a tornado blasted a bunch of trees about a quarter of a mile from us.
We were lucky -- no damage to us or to property. Our house is w/o power, heat, water for who knows how long. Some people are being told to expect 18 days of cold, which is just nuts. It is getting colder -- temperatures in the 20s at night predicted for the weekend. There are power trucks everywhere, but I think getting light and heat back by Monday at our house is optimistic. Fortunately places that ARE open are being very tolerant of squatters and phone-chargers.
The gas shortages they are talking about on the news are real; I've never seen lines like that before. I have half a tank, my husband (who refused to top off his tank before the storm hit) was lucky enough to be driving by a gas station last night just as it reopened, so he is in good shape. People in New Jersey generally are on their best behavior (I waited 45 minutes in line with hundreds of good-humored, well-behaved people at Starbucks yesterday) -- but it is getting ugly at the gas stations.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

I really feel for the people in NJ. I work for one of the power companies and almost ALL of our 1.1 million customers in NJ were out, slowly getting people back on, but I know they are dealing with a lot of flooding and can't even get to a lot of the damaged equipment.

Did you get power back in your house yet?

fucking atm's don't work in the banks around me.....
good thing i took out some extra cash on sunday....although its dwindling
Uh-oh. That's a situation I didn't envision... what happens when they can't refill the ATMs?!?
Yikes.
haha...my wife made me take out a shitload of cash on saturday just to be safe
We wives are funny like that. My husband the eternal optimist would not take out cash or top off his gas tank, thought I was being silly because the storm would not be that bad, power out maybe a day if at all.
I think next time he will listen to me.

Good to hear you made it through ok Andrew. The Rockaways won't be the same for a long, long time. Same with most of the coastal waters in the NJ & NY area .
I flew into NYC from Miami friday before the storm to make sure all would be ok at mom's house in Astoria. My brother lost power on L.I.( about 50% lost power on L.I.) & it's a 3+ hr drive with all the traffic now. No sense making the trip if I'm there. Not too bad here by mom's. Now it'll be a while before I'm able to get back to Florida flying stand-by, but at least we have power & heat here.
My thoughts & prayers are with all the people who were affect by this terrible storm.
So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)
What You Giving
I suggest you step out on your Porch.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

nope.
I feel very fortunate though after hearing/seeing what others are going through. and seeing the forecast on Monday that we were in a direct line of the storm right after NJ. I really think my area dodged the bullet.

thanks Mama. Having the power out is a minor inconvenience.
I think the news out of NJ is going to get a lot worse, keep in mind that rescuers are still trying to get to places.

the co-workers in my office fared well this storm...but many of the students have lost their homes :( Most of them can't go back for a week or more to even survey the damage. Really really heartbreaking.
