lindasledgirl Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/10/28/hurrican-sandy-new-york-city-frankenstor/ Evacuations, subway closers, sand bags, school closures!! In Sarnia, (Southwestern Ontario) we are being asked to make sure we have gas, water, food and cash! I had thought of all that with the exception of the cash. I guess if there is no power the machines won't work! Cash is still KING!! The weather report here says there will be over a million trees lost in this storm....Keep some gas in your chainsaw Jean-guy! Good luck everyone!!

Phil 1 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Here in Easton, PA just rain & minor wind so far. I believe the worst is yet to come, gonna be a restless night. I own an insurance agency expect it to be busy after the power comes back on, if we lose it. Pray that everyone stays safe. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hparaptor Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Wind started picking up around 9 this morning and the rain began around 1 this afternoon. Too bad this isn't snow. Work closed their offices and I'm home working on a couple of projects in the shop. Think I'll throw a 6 pack in the fridge. Hey Jean Guy, is that trailer fixed yet? Need to get rid of a couple of bottles! Edited October 29, 2012 by hparaptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Snowman Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 The New York Stock Exchange announced it would close stock trading for a second day Tuesday because of a once-in-a-century storm. Once in a 124-year storm is more apt. The last time trading was halted for two consecutive days because of weather was in 1888.
