.... Just watching the news over here in the UK

If  the big winds are ginna affect you then the title says it all!

Stay safe!

Thanks - I am near Washington, DC, and it's going to get pretty wet here.  The storm looks like it will hit just a little North of me, maybe 60-100 miles, but it won't really matter, because the wind will affect things all the way to Chicago.

I will get 60 mph winds for a while tomorrow, and quite a bit of rain.

I am planning on staying inside and working up a version of "The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin, in the spirit of the storm.

My business here in New York is basically shut down for a day because none of my employees are going to make it in due to all public transport being canceled, so I'm not happy about that. I'm weary after last year's Hurricane Irene hysteria, where the New York media pumped it up so much that people were panic buying canned foods and bread and taping their windows up, even as reports from down south were saying that it wasn't so bad and that it would downgrade a lot by the time it reached NYC. I suspect the same thing will happen with Sandy. We'll get some heavy rain and a bit of wind and that will be it. 

Long Island here. Got my eye on the water. Not so much the wind. Full moon-high tide + storm surge + very heavy, sustained rain.

Long Island :-( hoping for the best

Good luck guys! 

I'm a little further north but we're getting some warnings here. I think I'm gonna have to cancel an appointment on tuesday because I can already feel the bad weather sinking into my bones and joints. They'd better not charge me a cancellation fee. 

And yeah... stay safe dudes and dudettes.

Thanks! Yep, in the CT area here and we're getting warnings, but hoping most of the heavy stuff will miss us. 

I hate it when the power goes because then I can't get any work done!

I tell you what, the weather kicks ass here compared to my life in Britain. I know everyone complains about the weather there, but over a decade living in the US and I've come to realize just how mild Britain is in comparison. Warmer winters, cooler summers, barely anything "extreme." American storms are still very exciting to me. And I know it's wrong, but I was kind of disappointed when Irene fizzled out for New York last year. Was hoping for some overturned cars at least, maybe even some Mary Poppins' flying around. Yes it's sick but I'm cheering Sandy on. I want New York to take a good thrashing. 

I'm in the heartland (Indiana) so keeping the East Coast in my prayers...
