Yikes. Negligence at it's finest. Hope they're keeping people away from that. Even still if the winds whip up it might send parts flying everywhere.

Here in southeastern PA it's been raining for hours, and the winds right now are probably about 30-35 MPH or so. So basically a decent rain storm at the moment, but just the start...

I had an automated call from Con Edison a while ago warning that they may be shutting power off in order to minimize damage. Looks like I may have to play at being a caveman for a while  well after my iPhone (plus fully charged battery case) runs out anyway. From then on it's going to be an unamplified Telecaster in the dark. I just went out for one last walk before the hurricane kicks in. Manhattan has it's own little micro climate. It was perfectly calm for a couple of blocks, then I turned the corner and the wind almost lifted me off my feet. A very bracing, constitution-stoutening experience. Then I got scared and came back indoors to batten down the hatches (well close the windows and put my slippers on anyway).

This isn't making any sense. There are massive warnings that my area is gonna get hit HARD and the normal weather around here gets pretty psychotic as it is (crazy windstorms every couple of weeks) but the actual forecast is saying light rain. WTF? Oh well... it's supposed to roll in tonight so I'll just have to see. I hope it's nothing special because I go a little squirelly without my computers. :-/

Just looked out my window. Trees looking like they're going to snap, a couple of airborne traffic cones, torrential rain.
And then along comes a Chinese delivery guy on a pushbike, his handlebars laden with takeaway bags.
NEW FREAKIN' YORK!

Yeah, but I'm a CHOPSTICKS guy! That'll take forever! We actually just lost power for about a minute - just long enough for me to have finished entering a REALLY complicated piece of sequenced notes, but I never got the chance to hit save. And if ONE of you guys mentions auto-save, I WILL find you! :) Bob Bone

Estimated landfall in NYC at 8pm EST.
The winds are pretty ferocious out there at this point but the rain is pretty light.
Still seeing people on push bikes!

I'm still here beeps! Tried to work out a deal with ole Sandy thinking I might win her over...no dice...rejected again! Toughest chick I ever tried to land. She "landed" alright....been getting pummeled for hours now even before she landed. Rain is calming down now but the wind is sick. We're hanging in there...but man, this is a nightmare. Hope everyone else is ok.

Oh good. I was just looking at pics of Ocean City with completely flooded streets...   Not sure if you are anywhere near that mayhem. I'm assuming that area is very close to shore. Also those pics are from this morning... can't imagine what's going on now. Still hoping things will fizzle out by the time they hit here... I doubt it though.

Is there lightening with this storm then? Because I just looked out of my window south towards the Brooklyn Bridge and the whole sky lit up briefly as if there had either been an explosion or a huge lightening strike. Only I didn't hear any bang with it. Kept looking for a good 5 minutes and didn't see any more. I hope it wasn't something exploding!
