And I think I heard that at least one of the people from the Bounty replica are still missing and the guy they did find was "unresponsive" (which could mean either he's dead or he's close to it)
Lights just flickered again up here. Yes, up here. In Western New York.
End-times-type wind here outside of Philadelphia.
I'm on the 5th floor though so unless something is lifted and smashes through our thick windows, we're fine.
Heh, yes I have in fact.

Okay, good. Because it didn't turn out well for the person who was doing what you've been doing...
nobody had been loony enough to do that type of reporting.
now it's standard. tv folks fight for the chance
so, thank dan rather
I should probably treat Wednesday night as tentative, but I am impressed that I was able to use Twitter to smooth out the details of my flight out.
You'd probably have been Humanitarian of the Year if you'd let the bird stay through the storm.
You should run for mayor.
pizza is not a sandwich
That story in #318 is amazing. Think about how that would have been handled 20 years ago. Amazing.
I guess I am an evil bastard. It was either suffering a bird-poop-filled house or get it the hell out. I'm comfortable with my decision.
FWIW, I wasn't seeking out birds to strand in hurricanes; I thought the birdhouse was empty when I brought it inside.
(He has similar plans in case Romney wins)
good luck jeffo. part of bloomfield is actually below sea level. make sure not to go there tomorrow.
You are the only wise, old man, HW.
However, I am a middle-aged man city dweller with one. Mrs. G gets so annoyed when we do have an outage that I picked up a small one a few years ago. Of course, I've never had to use it.
One of my nearby friends has the full setup, with automatic switching and everything. I plan to visit if things are really bad.
Worse problem when we had a multi-day outage around here was gas stations not having power to run pumps.
i was mostly funning
i actually have various forms of backup.
leftover from the days of a having a working farm and animals that needed tending.
i did do the tropical storm thing way back in the armed forces. if pushed i would choose wind/rain over bitter cold and snow
but that's me
Lights are flickering up here on the UWS.
14 street and Avenue C
Power out in Greenwich Village
34th and 1st
Stuyvesant Town
Coverage from the Daily News, whose own building's first floor is flooded, as is the FDNY headquarters
Something called "Jane's Carousel" appears to be an island.
I read once that the homeless would rather have snow that rain, as getting wet makes one miserable if not dead. Snow can be used as an insulator. But I haven't had to try this out. Well, I did build a snow cave once,and slept in it.
GOOD LORD WHICH STREETS ARGH.
Sorry, New York City is kind of big, so things like "in NYC" drive me nuts. I had to explain to my panicked relatives the distance between Hell's Kitchen and the WTC during 9/11.
I prefer snow to rain any day. I hate the weather like it is now, 37 and raining. We are on our 60th hour straight of rain here in central WV, with 48 more hours of rain/snow to come. I was once worried about big snow fall and wind, now I'm a little worried we might see some flooding in the hokie household. The lower mountains of WV have already have accumulation of 4-6 inches, with another 2 days of heavy snow/rain to follow.
As to generator:
I never really saw the need for one, even growing up in the country landscape of WV where there are snowstorms and large amounts of power lines above ground. Most of the time when you lose power for more than 24 hours, it's because there has been 1-2 ft of snow dumped on you. In those conditions you can move and bury your perishable foods outside and use kerosene/propane for heat. Of course losing electricity for 7 days in the middle of a heat wave this past summer has made me reevaluate my opinion and I think I might break down and buy a smaller 4-5kw one before "winter" hits.
We always have 30+ gallons of water, 4-6 weeks supply of food, and several container of propane/gasoline/kerosene on hand. My preparations for this Frankenstorm consisted of buying a loaf of bread!
Same radar also shows western NY getting it a lot harder than central NY. In fact, Utica, armpit of the weather universe, almost looks like it's going to escape practically unscathed. I mean, maybe. Still early, I guess.
when you have several hundred head of livestock that is the basis of your livelihood being able to keep them in semi-heated conditions and water is kind of key
hence, generators
pssh, Put 'em on the block and have some burgers.
I understand man. I didn't grow up on a farm, but I lived in the country where there were ample farmers. I bet you don't own the portable generators either.
Thought that was Buffalo.
REPORT: Heavy volumes of water on West St + Washington St. Cars floating down West St. Little water at #WTC so far #Sandy -Cuomo
watch the perv talk mister
Well, the radar shows it physically past NYC, rather than physically heading towards the city, that's all I was reporting.
Thought that was Buffalo
Utica has many additional armpit qualities that bring it to the top (read: bottom) when the weather is bad, which is often.
Anyone else had BBTF go down for them?
Yep.
Take your word for it. Flickers up here in Toronto...
manhattan almost completely dark south of 42nd st...
Unbelievable. There have been at least three occasions that I thought I was about to lose power, and Utica isn't getting anything?
I want to see pictures before I believe this.
Edit - Cokes all around.
Chrome can't connect to www.cnn.com.
Here in London ON, (2 hours east of Detroit, 2 hours west of Toronto), we've had the power flicker once (yeah UPS battery!) and a lot of rain and strong winds.
Hang tight, my American East Coast brothers!
i know ALL about hurricanes
they say sandy is twice the size of ike, which was freaking enormous for such a low wind hurricane.
which reminds me, anyone know where they put the subway trains seeing as how they would get flooded along with the subways?
I'm 10 or so miles from Utica in a liberal college town enclave, but it's absolutely dead quiet. It's sprinkled and blown here and there, but that's it.

Pulled out into various yards. No idea how the yards are doing, one is pretty low over near the Hudson between 30th and 34th.
But lord. My apt complex is surrounded. We're on an island here.
a friend of mine is a conductor on one of the lines and had to help drive trains out from manhattan on sunday.
They've just confirmed there is no flooding at the NYSE.
Hope everyone here is staying safe and (relatively) dry.
No effing idea.
Seconded. Offline now, take care all.
Also, places near me have power out, so I wouldn't be surprised if I lose it as they fix them.
What's up with this corned beef in a hurricane meme? Can somebody explain this to me? The Googlez yield nothin'.
explosion starts at0:25
Woah holy ####.
The fact that 200 of his neighbors who wouldn't normally buy a loaf of bread did because they might not be able to eat out in the coming days and that a woman had the audacity to buy at 36 pack of AAA batteries pissed him off so much during the last storm makes Ray the least entitled to our sympathy should he suffer inconvenience due to the storm.
