ThreeRedheads Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So Comcast just called and left a message regarding Hurricane Sandy - can't say I have ever had that happen I got an email from Verizon Fios about power outages. We've secured everything, but my neighbors have all kinds of crap in their yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Consider taking some before pics in your area if you can. I'm going to at least do some iPhone shots of various corners around my place. Will go back later to do afters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Unprecedented rain is a stretch.. Not to smack down preps for it but we have had plenty of big rain events around here. Agree but not sure when we had rain like this cover such a large geographic area. Main drainage creeks and rivers are gonna b busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Same here. Funny story, I picked up a sandbag yesterday. I live on the 3rd floor of my apt building and put it in front of our door as a joke. The neighbors know I'm a met. They knocked on the door this morning and asked if they needed to get sandbags.

I'm going to at least do some iPhone shots of various corners around my place. Will go back later to do afters. That's what I did yesterday. I went to a local park with a lot of trees and took some panos. I will go back once the park reopens after the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be something if areas still didn't have power on election day. I don't think you could delay a national election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early voting just started yesterday here in MD and it is open from 12-6 today and i got there at 11:50 and there were already 500 cars there already. Im sure it is because of the strong feelings for the gay marriage bill here. I do agree with you 100% though, democrats are always hurt in the turnout department in inclement weather. This could hurt Obama in Virginia and Pennsylvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sort of assuming the storm lingering effects suppresses turnout in NoVA which won't help Obama there. I told a friend of mine that I though the storm delivers Virginia for Romney.
