Keep Safe all. I see on the news it's going to be a BIG ONE. The biggest to ever hit the US.

I was in London a couple of days after the only hurricane in centuries hit the south east English coast 25 years ago. An experience that that makes me eternally grateful that while we might have rotten summers, endless rain, floods etc. at least we're generally spared that kind of extreme weather.

Not to mention my Louisiana friends' accounts of Katrina.

Keep safe over there.

Ooo...was that the infamous one where Michael Fish assured everyone at home that there was no hurricane forecast and that everyone should look forward to a lovely day?

I just got a little wind Friday as it passed by as I'm on the west coast of Florida.  I have relatives in the Harrisburg, Pa area and they are all planning for the storm reaching in that far.  My brother stopped at a grocery store this morning and he said the shelves are bare.

Thanks all for your concern.
I’m in upper western New York State. It has rained continually now for two days and with 5 more days of rain and high winds projected we are worried that many trees will come down.

We are all sitting tight for the next few days!

I guess I'm more worried about the Canary Islands exploding and falling into the sea. I'm halfway between Boston, MA and Providence, RI. As long as it doesn't snow I'm happy.

I'm located in southeast Pennsylvania, between Philadelphia and Lancaster. So as far as predictions go, pretty much in middle of Sandy's path...   Fortunately we're not located near any creeks or other bodies of water, and have no large trees near our house.  But I do expect to be without power for at least a day or two...   Loads of fun.  
 
Here's hoping we east-coasters will be posting by Halloween.  

@ sharke, the excitement of the storm is definitely cool, but water damage sucks. many people in the low lying areas near the ocean are gonna get 3, 4, even 5 feet of salt water in their houses. two weeks from now there will be 3inch, hairy mold all over everything and those houses will be deemed uninhabitable until it's all removed by guys in white suits and masks. even then, the place is shot.

So, without power, it's time to get back to the staff view on paper.  Why not?  It could be our best composition in à Life time.

Same here Steve I know you're right down the road somewhere close.Maybe I'll try and get some time in the studio before the power goes.

South Jersey here...darned thing is coming right for me. At least you guys won't be reading my novels for a while as we'll probably lose power for a week. Best of luck to any of you that will be experiencing the effects of this storm. Try to stay safe.
