I'm just grateful that none of them decided to become airborne and try to get in the house for cover.
Wow. Looks like it was a nice yard before the storm. Glad you all made it through o.k.

- October 30, 2012, 11:56:47 AMMy wife and I were JUST out there, on a D.C. bus tour...we left Arlington on the 19th....I've been watching FOX, and they are talking about the places we just toured...scary! As far as the damage on L.I. and in New York, I know the area quite well, being originally from Queens, and then moving to Commack in '57. I still have a couple of cousins living there, so I've been trying to get in touch, but so far, no luck.

- October 30, 2012, 10:15:44 AMYeah, we've got 50-55mph winds for about the last 18 hours. Got some rain too. I'm near Indianapolis, Indiana, so we're WAY inland.

- October 29, 2012, 19:53:58 PMI've been through a couple... it would be a sleepless night for me. I think the storm came ashore a little while ago. Fox is 24/7 on this... while important I wish they'd do other stuff too... but they live in NYC so...

- October 29, 2012, 19:41:38 PMMy mother lives in a resort community in Delaware. I went and got her and her cat yesterday and brought them to my place (farther inland, but still in the hurricane's path) where she'll be safe. I think it's been downgraded to tropical storm. We're getting the brunt of the winds right now. Gusts up to 70-80. Feels like the doors are going to be ripped off the hinges. The wind is so strong, it'c compressing the weather stripping aound the doors and I'm hearing all this hissing where it's forcing it's way in.. . . Power has glitched off and back on a few times. Most likely, power will go completely out overnight.

- October 29, 2012, 16:04:52 PMI'm an ex-New Orleans resident and have been through several hurricanes. All my prayers go out to all you folks on the East coast. I pray this will no where near as bad as what they've predicted.
Don't be stupid... LEAVE if you've been instructed to do so. A few hours or a couple of days is a small sacrifice.
