Hurricane Sandy

[WAR41]

NY subways system shut down today at 7pm. and they are not sure when it will re-open.  I am hoping and praying my flight still takes off on wed. morning...I CANT miss the first show. 

p.s. Bill 213-Love the frankenstorm survival kit. 

I'd see if you can switch your flight to leave from Philly at this point.  Wednesday is not looking like a good day for flights leaving out of the NY area.  I hope everyone leaving from the NYC area make it to Vegas for the Halloween show, but so far all flights today and tomorrow (Tuesday) are cancelled.

Hopefully everything works out ..................

I hope everybody is safe! It looks like a big one...

I just don't know how you guys can bear with things like that. I'd be terrified! Luckily it's something quite rare in Brazil, though I faced one while in line to see GNR in Rio in 2010, and that 'small hurricane' collapsed the stage down. I was shitting my pants but didn't move one feet in line to see gnr!

Be safe, people! Hope everything is ok in time to see gnr in Vegas on Halloween!

I just drove through heavy rains to get my WaWa coffee.  Winds are picking up!

[GnR-NOW]

Be careful. It's getting more windy in MD, and there is 74 MPH wind where my beach house is in Jersey. Needless to say it's probably F'ed .... 11/9 Can't get here soon enough ....

I can see the wind picking up but I'm watching a stream in Europe. Be safe everyone closer to the action

Hope all you Gunners are ok!

I'm far enough inland in CT that I didn't feel the brunt of Sandy's wrath.  The shoreline was not so lucky though.  Massive flooding there.  NYC was hit real hard too.  This storm left a mess behind it, spreading up and down the coast.  I lost power for a second and I don't think there'll be too much to clean up tomorrow.  But others are certainly not that lucky.  Best wishes to all those who weren't spared quite as much.

Looks like Halloween will go on in my neighborhood this year.  It was canceled last year since the whole town/region was pretty much without power for a week plus after that freak October snowstorm.  Candy doesn't go bad does it?  Because those kids are getting year old candy.  Don't tell anyone.  And no, I'm not a big candy eater myself.  Thus the reason, it's lasted an entire year under my watch.

Seeing awful pictures coming out of the USA of this storm, stay safe as you can everyone & hope it passes really quickly 

[One.In.A.Million]

Stay safe my US friends, hopefully it will all be over soon...

[Kiki]

Good to see a lot of you already here, for the rest (without power now): hope you're all okay. Thinking of you guys!

[cineater]

Guess we'll just wait for them to check in.  God what a mess.

[imcrazy]

Thankfully it has passed my area now.  I only lost power for about 30 min last night.  No real damage in my immediate area but based on tv reports NJ got it bad. 

[draguns]

The driveway for my complex had about 3-4 feet of water. They closed off the road where my complex is located. Luckily, my parents live 15 minutes away from me. We have electricity here. Northern NJ is in bad shape. A close friend of mine lost his car as a result of the storm.  Hoboken is pretty much under water. In Southern NJ, the boardwalk in Seaside Heights is gone. The boardwalk is gone in Atlantic City. In NYC, the Lower East Side was flooded.  It'll take 4 days for the subways to get back on track. I've lived in the Northern NJ/NYC are all my life. I've never seen anything like this.

Hey folks... Shit. It's baaaadddd here. Lost power Monday night at 8:30 or so and lost all running water soon thereafter. When the toilet stopped working today the fianc? and I knew we had to leave. We found a yellow cab down in the lower east side where my apartment is and begged him to drive us to her parents house in Queens. He did so and $50 later we made it. Before we left we surveyed the damage and there were downed trees and crushed cars everywhere. We started to walk towards battery park to see how bad it really was down there but we turned back when we saw fights breaking out amongst the "locals" at the shelter nearby the area. ALL power is lost. No stores have power and they are giving away food or selling it for cheap, but some of it is impossible to even cook right now!  No traffic lights are working and there are not enough police to monitor them.  I am going to swing by the apartment tomorrow night and see if the power is back on or not.

Good luck fellow New Yorkers and those in New Jersey who got hit hard.  This storm was truly devastating and I have never heard 75 mph winds outside of my apartment. It was terrifying.  I hope GNR kills it Halloween night!

[cineater]

Good to see you guys checking in.  I can't imagine.  Guess everyone flying out for GNR aren't going to make it tomorrow night, sorry guys but I'm sure your minds are else where.

So my beach house in jersey is completely ruined, any boat that was in the area is completely gone, plus I had my GNR lithograph with the tix from AC and Silver Spring framed in the house which has been completely washed out from the arial views of the street ........ SHIT !!!! insurance can replace TVs, furniture, and other stuff but can't replace the sentimental aspect of it ......... 

I was planning on going up to see the damage but they are not letting anyone down my street.....
