SuperTaz Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well, for the next few days, if you do not see me online, it is because the Hurricane knocked out the power. The storm is supposed to hit where I live by Monday night into Tuesday morning. Here is the weather report for my area: http://www.weather.com/weather/right-now/Easton+PA+18042 Here is the cone of where the storm could hit: http://www.weather.com/weather/hurricanecentral/storms/2012/SANDY http://www.weather.com/weather/hurricanecentral/tracker/sandy And here is an infrared map of the entire U.S. that also shows the storm in the lower left: http://www.weather.com/maps/maptype/currentweatherusnational/usinfraredsatellite_large.html?clip=undefined®ion=undefined&collection=localwxforecast&presname=undefined I am right in the path of the storm. So, there will be lots of trees down and floods everywhere. I will also take pictures to show everyone what is going on and submit them here when I can. We are already experiencing rain from the outer bands of the storm. This is going to be a long weekend and week to come. I just wanted to give you all a heads up in case you don't see me for a good week or so. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos1907 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm going to get hit bad myself as well. I'm near Philly and we're anticipating 40-50mph winds and 75+ mph gusts by tomorrow. Power will be out for sure by tomorrow and a lot of downed trees. For me, I don't need to worry about flooding. Time to place bets to see what tree falls down first in my backyard!

SuperTaz Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 The storm is producing winds in excess of 40MPH here and power outages are becoming more imminent. So, if the power does go out, it may be out for a long time. Hurricanes also spawn tornadoes, so be careful. Stay safe everyone! http://www.weather.com/weather/right-now/Easton+PA+18042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos1907 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm about 50 miles or so south of Taz... http://www.weather.com/weather/right-now/West+Chester+PA+19380:4:US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah, I been through Chester and West Chester many times. They are both about an hour drive away from me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos1907 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I been through Chester and West Chester many times. They are both about an hour drive away from me. :) WC has too many good restaurants in town and I'll be surprised if WCU and DCCC students do have days off throughout this week due to damage and lack of power. I been in Chester several times, but only for Andrew L. Hicks Jr Foundation purposes. I passed all of the towns near god knows how many times because of camping in the Poconos and going north to get on Rt 80 West to get to Lock Haven last year. Damage in NY... Crane snapped on the construction of one57.

Chaos1907 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Imho, Sandy Cheeks trolled me big time. I wasn't expecting more damage in my area but no. This is just a typical severe summer thunder storm when I was camp staff! :banghead: NYC is flooded in many parts, patients had to be evacuated from NYU Hospital cause their generators went out, thousands of blackouts, fires throughout the city, and building damage.

pipes1 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) well i was back home late last night actually got home 3 minutes before midnight. we got rain and some wind other than that it stayed south of us. better safe then sorry i guess i do know that the death toll has come up to 24 as of this morning here on the east coast. i feel sorry for the people in pa and jersey as that's where the storm hit the most youngest death out of this was an 8yrs old that was killed when he got struck by a tree limb in pa Edited October 30, 2012 by pipes1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos1907 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Ya, I heard about that watching TWC live stream about Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy on YouTube. PECO Outages.. https://www.peco.com/CustomerService/OutageCenter/OutageMap/Pages/OutageMap.aspx I didn't lose power and hopefully Taz didn't as well! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos1907 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Most likely Taz is out power and will be for days. His county is Northampton. http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/breaking-news/index.ssf/2012/10/power_companies_warn_be_ready.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
