What Steve said!

My daughter is getting to experience her first hurricane as a student at Drexel in Philadelphia. We don't have too many hurricanes in southern CA where she grew up.

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

Located in a suburb outside of NYC, our school district has now cancelled school for today and tomorrow.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, we extend our deepest concern to everyone in potential danger as well.

We hope that everyone, their friends and families, and their belongings (including our trailer parked at our school right on top of a hill...) are prepared and safe for the coming storm.

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

Lost two trees and lost power a couple of times so far.
There will be some work to do in the wake of the storm.

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

What about Massachusetts?

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

I hope everyone stays safe and sound... And that the storm won't cause too much harm.

And now, humor (always good at times of trouble):
I know you probably want to, but don't go checking on your robot with the storm raging!

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

Meh, they're probably used to it by now...:ahh:

The wind here in NNJ is really picking up big-time, the neighbor's 12" maple just cracked in half and fell into my backyard, so that was a 60+ MPH gust. No damage (other than the tree's pride I suppose) but we're not through it yet.

Still got power though!

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

I live a little further south of you Don. It's blowing pretty steadily right now. No power loss, other than a few brown outs or flickers.
Of course where I live must of our power lines are underground so unless a switching station gets hit, we're usually good.

It should rock us pretty solid in the next few hours. Storm track looks like it's headed right over my neighborhood.

Sandy is just full of hot air anyway. :D

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

Yeah, in North Jersey nothing but wind so far and some rain earlier. But it does seem like the wind is slowly picking up speed. Interestingly, usually I lose power so easily...not even a brown out yet...

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

I hope this hurricane blows over leaving humans and robots untouched! My and my team's thoughts and prayers are with you.

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

Sandy's expected landfall is an hour or so away. She should be visiting Delaware very soon (how many of you have actually done that!).

To all affected directly or indirectly, prayers and well-wishes to you and your families.

Be safe and stay dry.

Two days ago the Ruckus was held at the Dome Arena. Now it's a hurricane shelter for the next couple of days.

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

Good luck to everyone and stay safe. Hurricanes are normally (unfortunately) our natural disaster of choice. From all of us in hurricane-land, I hope you guys don't have too much damage!

Re: Hurricane Sandy
 

The winds have been strong (like blow-around-250-pounds-of-me-a-bit strong) down here in Columbia. All y'all up north be safe!
