Weather ‘downgraded’ to showers the next few days in Red Hampshire...after they canceled everything, of course.

About the same here in the middle of the state (UnionCty) re gusty/dry.

Calling for ~6" total precip by Wed, via WU/NWS.

We'll be ok if the power stays up .. if not, I'll be trying to keep pace with the two sumps with a bucket, and dump it down the shower drain .. all night long     :^/

Oh well, could be lots worse .. good luck to all !

“...Good luck to your daughter getting home as well...”

Thanks!! Yes Good Luck to your family as well - Hoboken seems low lying. Our daughter got home around 10:00 last night - my husband picked her up from the Poughkeepsie train (Metro North) at 8:30 - she got on the last train out just before 7:00 pm. Her apartment is on the first floor in the lower East Side - several blocks from the general Union Square area (She attands Pace at the Manhattan campus and is getting her BFA in Acting). It is not in any of the 3 evacuation zones, however she does not want to be there if electricity goes out/no transportation, etc. Pace is closed today.

“..nonsense about eastern US being without power for weeks...”

We live in the upper Hudson River Valley not far from the Catskills, and when Irene dumped all that water we were without power for about five days. Communities in the Catskills had severe damage and long lasting power outages. It does happen and it’s not pretty.

By the looks of this radar loop, landfall's liable to be southern Jersey / northern DE

Yeah, except I am at the mouth of the Susquehanna. High ground, but many trees. Sleeping in the basement tonight.

After losing power, second biggest worry is the wind / trees .. this place sits in the middle of an acre surrounded by a ring of big’uns .. nope, don’t even wanna think about it .. LOL

Loss of power, I am ready for. Have generator, tub full of water for flushing toilets (on a well) and 3.5 5-gallon water bottles. Also, gas grill for cooking. My house faces north, and I should be facing into the wind. No trees directly in front of my house. Hopefully anything that falls will fall back away from the house. We had trees snap all over the place for Isabel. I was fairly nonchalant until I saw a tweet from Joe Bastardi showing a radar model with a fully formed eye as it comes ashore between DE and NJ, and just has a tiny sliver of land before it lands on ME!

I still need to leave the house this morning to fetch my doggie from the kennel after I had been away this weekend. I will fill my gas and diesel cans, then. Only a three mile trip.

Would it be possible for you to turn this thread into a Breaking News Live Thread?

Much is being posted on the storm but it’s scattered about. It’d be great to have a prominent thread for people to post to about it.

The storms that moved through Northern Wisconsin ahead of that cold front that you’re referring to were NASTY! Lightning, thunder, hail and even possible tornadoes (don’t know if they were officially recognized, have just seen the pictures of damage - barns taken down completely and such).

And, after days of storming nearly non-stop, the cold front came in so quickly that the pressure change popped open my front door, the back door, and the door leading to the upstairs... Scared the crap out of the dog, and all of us in the house at the time. Never felt anything like that before. (Didn’t realize the latches in the door handles were that “loose” w/out the deadbolt, either! LOL)

“Has Sandy taken its “hard left” yet?”

Hurricanes like politicians can do grievous damage to the country when they make hard left turns.

I can assure you, the Jamaican power lines were not designed for even a little wind. The lines were strung along poles with trees growing around and among them. No doubt our system is far more extensive and conplicated. I think my point was the attitudes of the people of Jamaica before, during and after the storm.
