INTERESTING comments on that story! Couple of lib trolls are getting their butts handed to them...most posters are DISGUSTED with Obamugabe! IMO I see PA going for Romney, and NJ, IL and even CA will at least be purple;)

Had this storm hit Florida instead, half of the posts here would be about flood insurance and how Floridians should move back 100 miles from the coast. Funny, I haven’t read any such directives for those in the path of Sandy.

6:45 pm. Port Tobacco, MD. Hard by the Potomac River.
Hard rain, gusty wind. No damage, still have power.
Local newscasters trying hard to find any damage to report.

I saw him on TV. I could only watch a few minutes before I couldn’t stand him and had to shut it off.

I'm in Baltimore. Power is on but has flickered a few times. Worst should be from now until 8am.

Beer is helping the situation.

Allegedly I’m sitting in the eye of this thing.

It’s very rainy and very windy but honestly folk, I’ve been through way worse.

Elec flickers from time to time but our electric is pretty good here in the swamps of Delaware, bout 17 miles from Cape May NJ, which is the alleged landfall spot.

Biggest thing gonna come from this storm is ENORMOUS flooding. so far the winds have been way calmer than expected, it’s moving faster than expected. But the storm surge is enormous.

BUT....the only places flooding are places that have flooded before or near where there’s been floods before. Water might rise higher but even the might of Sandy won’t suddenly drop a new lake in the middle of Nevada.

They got a Fox guy here in Rehoboth Del. He’s showing the big holes in the sand caused by the rampant waves and yeah, they’re big.

But every dag year Rehoboth’s filling in them holes; heck a little Nor’easter blows that beach apart. They got little Peter Doocy all at Rehoboth and seriously, that’s a beach nature wants to reclaim.

So far, ah....so good here in the eye of the ‘cane.

Storm expected to male landfall shortly. Rain and wind gusts picking up in North Central CT from a lull around 6.

Well it'll have to be a substantially radical loop, cuz the pics / radar I'm seeing make it look like central PA's on the backside of it for the time being.

Or, as per my astounding and belated grasp of the obvious above would suggest, the eye of the thing is currently skulking around my house.

>>Biggest thing gonna come from this storm is ENORMOUS flooding.

Locally in Conn. at least, that was always the biggest concern. The winds not as much, and we were on the windy side of the storm. Inland in the Appalachians, the snow, and closer to DelMarVa, the rain, but here it is the storm surge, high tide, and full moon combo that had people concerned.

Southern VT has about 13,000 without power. Light wind and rain in the Northeast Kingdom. My Mom is in Southern N.H. - still has power, but she (and we are) is worried because she’s right on the Merrimack.

My OB told me years ago that storms always result in a active maternity ward. He didn’t know why then either, but they knew it.

A local restaurant built in 1929 is floating away due to coastal flooding. Pretty direct testimony to the level of coastal flooding that is happening in this area—it survived one of the worst hurricanes to hit New England (est to be a cat 3, in 1938), and yet is going out to sea tonight.
