Another Hurricane Coming to New Jersey!

Looks like Sandy will hit directly on Monday and Tuesday. Less than 2 years ago a blizzard. Last year Hurricane Irene hit,what was left of her, in August. Last Halloween a snow storm hit. And now this one. Looks like Sandy maybe the most powerful of all of them. I have prepared best that i can. Lose power and the sump pump is off, basement will get flooded. I'm less than a mile, to the Raritan Bay. With a full moon. A surge could come my way. Hoping for the best. Will ride it out and see what happens.

I wish you the best of luck Bernard, my family and I will keep you in our prayers.

Yep, here we go again. My area of CT had so many trees down that we could not drive anywhere without hitting a blocked road. Power out for a week. I expect things to be far worse this time around as we are directly in the path of the worst wind. If you are in the path, you need to prepare NOW. I spent the last 2 days getting our property ready. I am thinking the huge oak in our front yard may be an issue again, Irene took a bunch of huge limbs down but the wind duration will be a lot longer this time so I expect lots of tree damage in our area. We had to drive to Manchester through a circuitous route to get gas for the generators. I am filling up the Class A's 80 gallon gas tank and 10 5gal gas cans today while we can

You boys better secure your families, pets,...AND your reds before they wind up scattered all over the neighbourhood...!

Hey,...they were just talking about this storm on the TV...

They said it'll pack an unusual extra double-whammy punch when the warm moist air of the storm hits the approaching cold air mass decending from WHERE else....

Don't hold it against us guys....

It's them damned Ruskies up to no good...blowin that cold stuff over the pole...

hey bernard being a former nj resident i feel for ya, but there is a bright side? all the moochers that proudly grace the front porch of a row home with a 40 ounce-r strapped to their side wont be going out to vote for the socialist in chief. bad weather cant stop those those who produce, but those who take its easier to stay on the couch

Hope everything will be ok. I am in Virginia. I have got everything tied down so it won't blow away.

Same boat here, I am in the Pocono's in PA, We are forcasted to get 8+ inches of rain, winds could peck at 75mph and the is still a chance of snow here. On the down side, I am a trailer owner... If we get flooded, being at the top of a mountain, I really feel sorry for all down high... Just gunna sit back and ride it out, no choice... Hope all will be safe, good luck to all in this Bitches way!!!! HAPPY HELLOWEEN

I went down to the Boat Basin this morning,7am. It's already flooded! No rain yet, coming tonight, forcasters say. Wind just started,8:30am. Point Pleaseant Beach, which is about 25 miles from me. Is on the Weather Channel. The beach is almost covered already. This is with no rain and the main storm, at least 24 hours away. This is going to be a very bad one. I've done everything that i've can. Got everything off the basement floor that i could, bought things in from outside,got the food i needed. Now just watch and wait and probably wading.

I was expecting to see the NASCAR race in Martinsville cancelled today,...but that wasn't affected amazingly enough...!
