Title: Frankenstorm Post by: j-f on October 29, 2012, 20:36:29 pm I'm watching the news and see that things are gonna be nasty on the east coast. :-\
I don't know if some of you are concerned about this hurricane, but I wish you good luck. Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: glenn on October 29, 2012, 20:45:52 pm Really windy on the south shore of Long Island. Store surge is a problem with my house being only 100 yards from a inlet that leads to the Great South Bay. But luckily the street is 9ft above sea level and my house is another 5 feet above the street.
Its gonna be a long night. Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: j-f on October 29, 2012, 20:51:17 pm Really windy on the south shore of Long Island.

Looks like the scenario of the day after tomorrow :-X (http://i.imwx.com//images/maps/truvu/map_specnews12_ltst_4namus_enus_650x366.jpg) Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: glenn on October 29, 2012, 20:55:55 pm Here's a crane collapse on a 90 story building on 57th street in NYC.
And the worst is not here yet. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v622/Mrpug/crane2.jpg) Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: Rennsurfer on November 02, 2012, 06:46:57 am Glenn, Jeffrey, and anyone else I missed on the east coast... are you all alright?
??? Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: Rick Meredith on November 02, 2012, 07:53:34 am I tried calling Jeffrey and left him a message at about 5:15 our time which would have been 8:15 on the east coast.
Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: javabug on November 02, 2012, 13:36:19 pm It was very anti-climactic in my area (Pennsylvania) ... lots of preparation and no drama. And that's fine with me.
However, New Jersey and New York took a beating from what I've seen. Hope Glenn and others made it through safely. Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: glenn on November 02, 2012, 14:25:24 pm Jones Beach
Before with beach and dunes between the road and water. (http://www.glenn-ring.com/bike/jb.jpg) the beach is GONE.

He's doing mostly ok. Some damage to his property but none to the house. He's got no power but is using a generator to get by. It's a real problem getting gas right now... sometimes there's a several hour wait. He's hoping that power will be restored soon. Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: j-f on November 02, 2012, 19:56:11 pm It's nice to know that you are OK.
I also thought about people from Cuba and Haiti who are less lucky and gets a lot's of damages and lost people. :( Title: Re: Frankenstorm Post by: Rennsurfer on November 03, 2012, 04:56:03 am Huge tragic losses and damage. Glad to hear that our east coast brethren are alright.
