I would ask, out of respect to those that have been affected by Sandy, that if you feel you just must make it political to start another thread in in Elections, or Politcal subforum.
Thanks to everyone here that has shown respect for those in before, during, and after the storm.
Tomorrow is a new day and I will post when I have time to update. Anyone else that has updates, please do. They also have to still deal with high tide again tomorrow and what it may bring.

Again, I ask, no politcal or disrespecful posts. Please. We have members from here that we have not heard from. Love ones have been lost, loved ones have not been heard from, etc. Let's be respectful.

Very windy in northeast Ohio (Akron/Cleveland.) Stuff has been hitting houses. It's been raining all day, the hard rain started aound 7pm. It's a low-end gale here with occasional rumbling gusts and really weird noises I haven't heard in over half a century of living. There's flooding in the low areas already. It's snowing in central Ohio.

My cousins live on the water on breezy point and roxbury beach next to Ft. Tildon. They live waterfront on the bay but the bay met the ocean tonight and the water is coming in now. My other cousin on the ocean side has water a foot deep on the first floor and it is still rising. Some still have power and others less than a mile away do not! It looks like it will be a long night. - Moldth6

p.s. I am new to your board and still learning how to use respond feature. Hi there. I thought you only used a title for a new subject, not a reply. This is new.

 

[Grandma]

The lights blink off for a second every now and again.

We're good, we have a gas stove and water heater, we can block off the rest of the house and live in the kitchen if we have to. But I'm really worried about everyone else.

Interesting posts. - Moldth6

Thousands stranded according to Gov. Malloy. He said to stay put, but get to the highest level you can, even if it is the roof.

you on the east coast depotoo?

down in Florida. Hope you aren't in the areas there either. I wish we would hear from Zoom-boing. He is the only one I know of for certain that was in the area.

Skookersbill is in Long Island.

I'm in NW Ohio and the wind is still howling here. Rain today thru Thursday. Hope it calms down at least a little for the trick or treaters tomorrow.

Hope USMBers are safe and warm, I called family yesterday to make sure everyone from the coast are ok. I have people in NC, Boston, NY. They all seem ok. I told them to get on Facebook and keep us informed.

Take care everyone.

In the New England and lost power for a while. Had several 40 foot plus trees come crashing down around my house. I live in a forest, a family of deer (5) were standing in front of my house right before a tree came crashing down near where they were standing. The crack and boom sounded like munitions. Then at night with no lights except my flashlight, it was a sight. Now the clean up.

A massive tree has fallen on Bay 23rd near Cropsey Avenue in Bath Beach, Brooklyn. A few cars are on the street. We are en route to Coney Island to report on the damage. Matthew Lysiak

Large sections of Red Hook are underwater Tuesday morning. Water levels have receded from last night but, from water marks on walls, appear to have peaked at 6ft.
Trees down and cars which were submerged last night have floated into the street in areas. Debris such as mattresses, pieces of wood and trash cans are strewn around the streets. And several downed power lines are hanging down precariously. Christina Boyle

Superstorm floods New York City
Rising water caused by Hurricane Sandy rushes into a subterranean parking garage Oct. 29, 2012, in the Financial District of New York. Sandy knocked out power to at least 3.1 million people, and New York's main utility said large sections of Manhattan had been plunged into darkness by the storm, with 250,000 customers without power as water pressed into the island from three sides, flooding rail yards, subway tracks, tunnels and roads.
