Stormlover74 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Most of my town has no power and likely won't see it restored before Monday. we didn't lose anything so I can't complain but it certainly sucks on these cold nights I posted pics from my area in the obs thread. It's still a disaster. I got my power back last night. 72 hours without power. My basement is still flooded. I was pumping out some of the water today.

earthlight Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Opengeo is now wolfsheepsheadbay. I have moved from Manhattan to Scotch Plains. Power is back on, but tons of wind damage here. Also, I think I may one of only a few streets that have power in town. We've invited a family to stay with us from Berkeley Heights. Still no power there. Had no idea you moved to scotch plains. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Dobbs Ferry had a lot of tree damage, but power is being restored quickly now. I got my power back yesterday afternoon, although cable/internet are out at home. Gas lines are long but starting to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn0waddict Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 The storm itself was incredible, exciting, and the provided the biggest adrenaline rush since the Boxing day blizzard. You've got to just sit back in awe of the power of nature sometimes. The incessant roar of the wind through the trees between 7-10pm Mon night was nothing short of spectacular, in a possibly terrifying way as someone as said. Nature is both devastating and awe inspiring... And remember the fact that this was a low-end hurricane in the end(with regards to wind). It's scary to even think of what a cat3-5 hurricane would be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 And remember the fact that this was a low-end hurricane in the end(with regards to wind). It's scary to even think of what a cat3-5 hurricane would be like. I think the damage a cat 1 did in NY/NJ is like getting a major hurricane down south. Although its hard to compare because this was a hybrid bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Puppet Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Here and wife gave birth to our son after the storm thank G-d. Got a little tense about having to go out in the storm to head to hospital. Never lost power but the hospital labor and delivery floor is jammed with patients from two other hospitals.

Dsnowx53 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I just got Internet back a few hours ago. Had been without electricity until Friday evening. We lost a 5X10 area of roof shingles, but we *think* we have it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our son turned 4 today, but we spent the afternoon delivering donations to Staten Island. When this thread was created, I was a New Englander, of course, as I will be forever, I suppose. But I will also be a New Yorker for a very log time, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
