I am luckily not in Sandy's path. For those of you who are, stay safe!

I live on the other side of the country, and am not in Sandy's path. I hope all the EFers living on the Northeast coast are well prepared for the long-term power outages that are expected to happen - stock up on food and water, and have a portable home generator available. Stay safe everyone!

We are in the warning path. We already received our warnings for high wind and what have you, but we have candles ready just incase we lose power.

i need to get some candles.. but i've cooked a chicken and made a salad and stuff. So we are good on food to eat..

be safe everyone..

I don't know really, I think it might swing round close enough to do a bit of damage...but I keep forgetting to watch the weather so I can't say really.

We prepared as best we could just to be safe.

We're barely in the path, so we're just dealing with rain and flooding. I'm on the same grid as a hospital, so we don't usually lose power for long.

It has already passed us but the weather was crazy last night!!

We are. Expecting winds to be between 50-75 mph.

I'm in Florida and Sandy has been beating us up all weekend

Not here.

I'm on the other side of the country, but I hope everyone over there is safe! That's super scary!

Yes, but I'm hoping that it's being blown out of proportion. I think it won't be that bad here.

it has been snowing since we woke up at 6 am. nothing sticking to the ground and high winds. those in maine and ny are having flooding.

everyone in its path are in our thoughts and prayers

I live in SC, so it barely grazed us. We got some rain from it on Saturday and some high winds. but other than that we got nothing. We are lucky it missed us.
For those who are in the storm's path:
Good luck and be safe!

Here it's been mostly heavy rain and really strong winds - only the latter at the moment. I wound up staying home from work. Public transit has shut down for the whole city and is likely to stay shut down until sometime tomorrow so I couldn't get in anyway. Why in the everloving hell my store was open when the majority of the city has basically shut down is beyond me.

Aside from that, I'm not overly worried. Row-homes don't blow in too easily and my area never floods, so the big danger right now is a loss of power. Something out in the back alley is popping and spraying electric sparks all over the place, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of my neighbors are in the dark right now. I've got candles and few flashlights (including one that's charged by a hand-crank), so I can at least have some light if the electricity goes.
