lindasledgirl Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just watched Hoboken New Jersey...that's a scary flood! We have some damage, nothing serious but the worst is still on its way apparently. One death in Toronto from flying debris. Stay safe!

Jackstraw Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Lost power at 7pm. Running on generator. Looks like the 4 th of July with all the transformers blowing, wild to say the least! Winds are howling , my massive 200+ year old sugar maple 10 feet from the house is hanging in there scarey with these winds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Montreal has no rain but the wind speed has risen to 50kph and is expected to go to 60 with gusts up to 90kph through the night, 2-3ft waves on the lake at supper time must be more now. Took the gazebo down yesterday and the neighbors were out tonight (in the dark) taking theirs down, they thought i was crazy telling them yesterday there was a hurricaine coming, some people.........

Trailblazer Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I own an insurance agency expect it to be busy after the power comes back on, if we lose it. Phil You can bet on that Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Strong winds on the Maine coast all night. Rain and wind just starting to let up a bit. Lights flickered at the house, and work was w/o power for several hours. Nearby hotel is stacked with power company trucks. No where near the trees down as in other storms. But I suspect the sled trails will need a lot of cleaning up before winter. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
182ray Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Survived Sandy! took a quick walk around the house appears to be no damage I also know now the generator will run at least 8 hours on a tank of gas. Will be shutting it down soon to refill & check oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 do some preseason prep on the sled, plug in an inverter to the 12v Power Port and plug it into your house! 2 birds, 1 stone! Good to see you made it! GutZ Crazy is now living by candle light. Stay safe guys. Are you doing OK? GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindasledgirl Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Watched the news, we are nothing like the NJ area. But here in Sarnia the winds are unreal and lots of power outages. My son's brand new roof is 'off' and the rain is 'in'....he came home to that after working on the power lines all day, exhausted....I thought he was going to cry. Not something we can't fix. Its still 100km winds here, very loud. I might try the beach again and get a few pictures. Anyone heard from Crazysnow? Is he accounted for?
