Hurricane Sandy

[Guitar_Raph]

Please pray for folks living from Washington DC-Boston as Hurricane Sandy's going to attack the east coast and New York.

Fictionally speaking, wonder if TMNT had evacuated from the sewer?

I'm wasted off my ass, so I don't give a damn about Hurricane Sandy!

[Storm Eagle]

It's doing New York right now, but it has been downgraded to a storm.

[Vivi]

NY and affected surrounds, you're in my thoughts - this is big news, even on this side of the world. Don't get blown away my brothers and sisters.

[Cipher]

So, CNN just cut from live footage of Sandy to an advertisement for Atlantis waterparks in what must surely be a milestone in the development of a more withering, sardonic 24-hour news cycle.

[pannoni1]

My prayers and wishes for a speedy cleanup and return to normal. Its bad news though if you want insurance. Since Channel 6 and other stations surely would give plenty of warning, and they would just hang out with April until the storm passes.

Hopefully everyone makes it through ok

[Storm Eagle]

Sandy seems to be out of New York, but of course it did a lot of damage. Power was lost in many areas, trees were blown down and crushed peoples' vehicles, and roadways were flooded to the point that they needed to be closed off. I obviously have power, and I never lost it, but the lights flickered from time to time.

[sykosis]

So far 16 people reported dead and counting :/

[BubblyShell22]

My thoughts are with those affected by Sandy. We're getting high winds here and are supposed to have them throughout the day. Power just flickered here, though it didn't go out yet. That's not to say we won't lose it with this wind.

[NiNi]

In Maryland (at least the area I'm from), fortunately we didn't seem to have any major things happen as far as I can tell. Power is still running and I don't see any damage to peoples' houses.

I just hope that others are/will be alright during this time. It's pretty scary stuff to say the least.

We got next to nothing in southern New Jersey. I'm already back to work.

[Machias Banshee]

We had a lot of wind and rain here in southern New Hampshire - lost power about 5:30pm yesterday, got it back about an hour ago...

[prophecy718]

i consider myself to be very lucky..lights were flickering but it held up last night...surprised to see no trees fell on my block...But i went out today and wow...so many trees down...

But man, seeing on the news that a building in manhattan collapsed and then seeing that all of lower manhattan, parts of queens and brooklyn under water..it was crazy...I live more inland in brooklyn so I wasn't affected by flooding...

lower manhattan still has no power; the subway system will take at least 4 days to pump out the sea water and for some service to be restored. 100 homes were burned in breezy point, queens...very devasting..this is what's left of that fire

My condolences to all those affected

[Candy Kappa]

My cousine and my aunt was on a trip to NY, they stayed at some of my uncles family instead of the hotel.

They re fine, but the neighbor's tree fell down, a huge old tree. Luckily only a car got smashed.

[Icebot]

President Obama just toured the disaster areas and made a speech about recovering from the storm.

[ImDoneItsOver]

wow that is a crazy pic you posted.. I live in NY and we def had a wet week..

[Jephael]

We didn't get hit too bad out here in Pennsylvania, but power's still out in some areas and a lot of trees have been uprooted.

[plastroncafe]

In Lieu of prayers for Boston, donations can be sent to The American Red Cross for help with the clean up efforts in Lower Manhattan, Staten Island, and New Jersey.

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

My sister's husband, who has been living in a New Jersey apartment as part of his job, managed to get himself and his cat out of the building with not much time to spare. The apartment is lost.

Hope you enjoyed the benefit concert on the NBC stations.

Here comes a terrible pun.

MR. PEABODY: And because of all the damages in New York, the marathon was cancelled.
SHERMAN: Golly Mr. Peabody. Bet a lot of people helped out.
PEABODY: Certainly. There was someone who tried to donate Kellogg's frozen waffles, but his care package ended up in California.
SHERMAN: (Groans) Mr. Peabody, you don't mean?
PEABODY: I certainly do. His donation ended up in SANDY EGGO!
(Tuba groan)

[BubblyShell22]

I enjoyed the concert and hope that the donations from it will help all the victims affected by this storm.

And, yeah, that was a terrible pun for sure.
