What are you all gonna do for your kid's Halloween?

 

[catzmeow]

I'm kind of pissed. We didn't have a single tropical storm day this summer (when we were off work and the schools were closed).

Just a friendly warning, Jillian. A lot of people find Jesus during a hurricane.

Keep safe Jill and everyone else.

Finally heard from lil' sis. They're about 100 miles inland, Maryland. Anyhow looks like this thing will roll right over them.
She assured me they've got plenty of provisions (husband was at beer store as she typed LOL). Lots of firewood and food, and ice.
Candles, batteries, etc.
And they're sleeping on first floor for fear of downed twees.
Schools prob out all week.

 

[jillian]

Keep safe Jill and everyone else.

thanks. i don't know if you're around the city right now. but you stay safe, too.

i heard it's the first time since 1985 that they've closed the stock exchange.

Hey was thinking of you this morning Jillian! Hope you and the family get through all this unscathed.

My thoughts are with everyone on the East Coast dealing with this right now and for the next few days.

My whole family is on the East Coast, from northern Philly through South Jersey and Annapolis.

Sandy sure is being a real nail-biter.

Good advice. If you all haven't taken pictures of your belongings and/or a video, do it now and if you can email to yourself. A huge help if you need to make an insurance claim.

I figured we could maybe be non-partisan for a bit. To everyone on the coast, stay safe. To the rest of you, send positive energy our way.

NYC now has winds of 45 miles an hour. That's down from over 50, this morning. Schools, courts, the stock market and other state and city offices are closed. our supermarket is closed, but our neighborhood bagel place was open. My husband went out and brought back hot whole wheat bagels so his trip out wasn't a total loss. We're in what they're calling zone B... which in NYC's parlance now means that we're in danger of flooding only if Sandy hits a catagory 2.

who else is in the storm zone and what are you doing to cope?

You stay safe and dry jillian.

Just wondering.... did you prepare for the storm?

thanks. i don't know if you're around the city right now. but you stay safe, too.

Boston next week, so it's going to be touch and go whether we get up since the power may be down.
