The plant, currently in a regularly scheduled outage, declared the Alert at approximately 8:45 p.m. EDT due to water exceeding certain high water level criteria in the plant’s water intake structure.

NYCSuburbs Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I can't even imagine what the damage from this is going to amount to in the end. Based on all of these reports I have a bad feeling this might approach Katrina-type damage. People have been saying for a long time NYC was overdue for a significant hurricane. And this is it.

Entropy Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Simply amazing, cirrus shield reaches all the way to the Iowa/Illinois border. Incredible size. To get a better idea of the immensity of Sandy, consider the following: a buoy just northeast of Cleveland was reporting sustained winds of 55 mph, and gusts to 67 mph, shortly after 10 PM. This thing is massive. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=cndo1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hanging in by a thread here w/ my iPhone.. With high tide over an hour away on the LI Sound, that's a bad sign. I'm thinking despite the more southeasterly winds now, the water rising so quick might force more water back toward the East River and prolong the flooding threat there.

Storm Tides are actually beginning to drop throughout LI Sound - looks like they won't come close to the Upton Forecast. Connecticut TV has reporters out where the water is falling.

Connecticut TV has reporters out where the water is falling. Looks like they did start to drop, so that's good news. Interesting because from reading the tide tables, it looked like the time of high tide was around 12am edt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sctvman Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Friend on Upper East Side says there was an electrical fire in my building, the smoke has funneled into her apartment. The NYFD/PD has asked 4 buildings to leave, taped them off and are not letting people back into their apartments until deemed safe even though none of them have power. The storm still has not hit there. She had to abandon my apartment, taken what she could and her friend came to the rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
