BREAKING: MTA announces NYC subways will be closed for remainder of the week. All major lines are floodedIncredible... that's gonna be a major mess.
Heard earlier that 10,000+ flights have been cancelled because of Sandy. Another major mess...

The tightness of the isobars on that map says that the highest winds are in northern West Virginia, across the Maryland panhandle, western Pennsylvania and up into the eastern Great Lakes.
Just checking in from Western PA (about 400 miles from the Jersey shore). Air pressure is down to 28.4 inches (950 kPA) and we are having gusting winds (25mph) out of the NNW and heavy rain. I only have an estimate of the total. Technology likes to fail at the most inopportune times.
The reed relay failed in the Davis weather station and then the garden weather station monitor crashed and had to be reset. At the time we had accumulated 2.1 inches of rain. The total is about 3.0 at this point and was increasing throughout the day. Current temperatures here are 41 degrees F. Power has only flickered once.
Rainfall rates and wind gust are continuing to increase. The storm effects began late Sunday morning.

Thank you both for your very kind comments, Miss Didi and tomkat!
Please stay safe... I'm (in Florida) watching Sandy on Fox News now - looks like a brutal storm.
I'm amazed my posts are / have been getting through... what's up with FR? It appears I can post (when FR doesn't crash), but I can't reply to FReepmails...

Sorry, not an 80 billion disaster. Up to 100 billion.
Sounds like the Mother of all Bailouts, if you pardon the expression.

Not getting much reporting out of upland w. PA and WV. Any insights? I’m worried about some friends in the WV Appalachians with the snow.

Prayers for everyone in the area.
Is anyone in the Chatham, NJ area? How are things there?
Good friends, unfamiliar with anything remotely like this weather wise just moved there.

The former Coast Guard officer that had the house on Crystal Beach and survived those 14 hrs. after he was in the water, was extremely lucky and think he would have drown had he not been former Coast Guard. There were only a few houses left on Crystal Beach after Ike and they were damaged so much they probably had to come down, and a number of people died that day. Ike was too strong for that strip of land not far from from Galveston. Water was normally on both sides of Crystal Beach so it was overwhelmed. I saw film after film of those houses breaking up and floating out.
When Ike got to me 100 miles north of there, I was worried about two huge, very tall oak trees (can you say as tall as the Empire State Bldg.?) behind my house but not my trees. I slept downstairs. A lady in my town was killed by a tree falling in her bedroom. An electric repairman in my town was killed when a tree fell on him.
I am totally prepared for a hurricane right now, always stay that way, but one never knows what trees will do or if a tornado will be spawned by a hurricane or how many days one will be without power.
I know what it is to be anxious during this kind of storm and my heart goes out to all of you going through this. I wish I could be with each one of you. If you are without power and have a bad time for a number of days, please feel pleasure that you are still here to have a bad time. The same goes if your house floods. If you didn't make it through the storm alive, you would never see that in order to fix it. I want you to be able to see it and cuss and have a fit.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Don't know. Since my previous post we have dropped to 39F, winds have increased into the 30s and we accumulated another .2" of rain. Turned on the scanner and there are reports of trees starting to come down. I truly feel sorry for the people in the path of the heavy wet snow.

So far we are doing ok, windy and strong gusts, heavy rain at times but I haven’t heard of any power outages as of yet.
I live on Grand Island between Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

Thank you so much for that CL&P link, Betis70! Looks like our town is in the 31-40% outage range. I tried calling our land line earlier... the answering machine didn't pick up, so I assume we have no power. We lose power at the drop of a hat in our area... par for the course.
I admit I'm glad we're not home dealing with this storm from hell, but I fear what we're going to find when we return to CT... :-(
