ToddF Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Anyone who lives where the storm is suppose to hit? Sounds like the storm of the century. When is it suppose to hit your area? Update when possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil2360 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Wondering the same. Probably bigger priorities right now than updating forum posts. All the Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted October 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 28, 2012 We're at the edge in E MA. Probably just get very wet. Maybe power outages if trees fall in unlucky spots. But the real issues are likely south of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I live in Hoboken, NJ/NYC area. It looks like its gonna get pretty wet around here. Irene, last year flooded the streets and the storm surge is expected to be higher due to the full moon and tide. The grocery stores are insane, but there's still plenty of beer around here. Haha! We should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 With all seriousness though, any and all precautions were made. Camp stove has gas, plenty of water and non-parishables on hand. I live on the third floor of a brownstone and the car is parked on the palisade cliff. We're just gonna sit it out with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller otisg Posted October 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hersh - I think you mean non-perishables.... unless you are a Priest and the Nuns are out of town. We're out on the East end of Long Island -essentially 12 mile out to sea. We'll see if the storm matches the hype. Usually they don't. In any case we're ready.

Hersh Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 @otisg haha! Yeah, non-perishables! I wish I could say that the perishables (beer) had some effect on the gramatical error, but its unlikely. Yeah, we'll see. Either way it should be interesting, and i dont have to work tomorrow because the subways are shut down, so thats a plus. Have you ever skied the quarry on Long Island that I read about in a issue of waterski mag a couple years ago? We need to find that secret spot in Brooklyn ASAP!

Nick Sullivan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 When Mt St. Helens blew. My uncle told my aunt he was going to the store in a rush to get supplies. She told him to get milk, diapers, water etc. He came back with two pillow cases full of beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller otisg Posted October 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hersh - Never skied the quarry because it is run by an infamous ex-Mastercraft dealer..... Head straight North to Monroe, NY - Twin Lakes - Great Place and much closer to you without going through or around the City. Closed now but in the Spring give Brad a call - a great guy and coach. A couple of guys have a course over in one of the inlets by Kennedy Airport. Good luck on the Belt Parkway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 @otisg Thanks! Yes, Twin Lakes is definitely first on the list. I've heard nothing but good things about Brad and the people up there. Hopefully, this storm is kind to their site. (Fingers crossed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ThePantsManCan Posted October 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm in the path here in right of center Pennsylvania. Had to drag the dock out ASAP after a final ski for the year. Button up the cabin, tie dock to cabin, remove the van from its location and bring it back home , and of course fight with the generator to power my home. I am currently banging my head against the wall trying to work it's bugs out!!!! aaarghh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It's getting really hairy around here and the worst is yet to come. The wind is consistent and the "tunnel" effect created by the tall buildings is increasing it exponentially. The Hudson is about 2ft below cresting at low tide. There's a high tide this evening when the storm comes ashore and massive flooding seems imminent. Does anyone around here have a cable winch? I'm looking to get a swerve set down Main Street later.

Baller BobF Posted October 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2012 Currently in Baltimore MD, waiting for Sandy to make landfall not too far away. Got the ski boats and truck parked away from trees, gas for the generator, and some beers in the fridge. Waiting for the power to go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rodltg2 Posted October 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hope everyone out there makes out of this okay. Out here in nor cal it's almost 80 and dead calm. I feel an earthquake is about due ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller otisg Posted November 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2012 Power and Cell service finally back this morning for us. Still, 600,000 without power Island wide. Not as bad as it could have been out here in the "Fashionable Hamptons". The wind shifted from NE to SE just before the full moon high tide hit & there wasn't much rain. It could have been really horrendous if those two things had been different. Now all we have to worry about is the Citidiots returning (Just got rid of most of them.) because the NY City is such a mess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted November 2, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2012 Rumor has it that there is a Noreaster coming on Tuesday with wind and rain. Hopefully it won't be too bad for the NY/NJ area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted November 4, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 4, 2012 Finally got back to skiing here in Orlando after a week of wind from Sandy....I really felt guilty after seeing all the devestation, long gas lines, and the politicians taking there photo ops, heading to Vegas to campain, and leaving the folks to fend for themselves..I decided that before every set I would at least tex the 90999 number for the Red Cross contribution...Hoped Karma would help me run 41. Only got 3@35 so I guess I need to keep on texting. Hope others do the same, so we can all get to 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
