Re: Hurricane Sandy On The Way? Possibly Worse Storm Since 1938 It is heading farther south. Yes, we will have wind and rain. But nothing like we are not used too. |

kudos:1 | Not so fast.. the European model is shifting northward, starting to agree with the GFS model.. northern Jersey may be the final destination for landfall. Here is the model. |

About the only place it won't be going is Hawaii
Lucky us! Been following the news about the storm and most of the models has my area in the direct path. As bad as we may get it, downstate and other areas will get it worse.
Been thru one hurricane in my life. That was Connie back in 1955 when it hit New York City. I was living in Brooklyn at the time.

No panic from me. It has turned into "just another storm". Nothing to get worked up about.
Its basically just a Nor'easter... we all get through them without the panic media hypes. |

Maybe true in Maine, but the CT coastline is about to get hit with an epic combo of wind, rain, and storm surge that will result in heavy flooding. It's an astronomically high tide with easterly winds into Long Island Sound... and Sandy is going to hover with those conditions for 2+ days.
For Connecticut's shoreline... this isn't "just another storm".. |

kudos:1 | Agreed. Might not amount to much [or might] inland, but definitely will be a problem for the coast. ENE wind ahead of Sandy will funnel storm surge into LI Sound like a Bay of Fundy tide. Even if landfall is far enough south to spare us the strongest winds, there will be coastal flooding of historic proportions.
FWIW just got a 'reverse 911' call from local government saying we're expecting 3-12" of rain and advising storm preparations. |

I should have been more considerate of those that WILL be effected head on, by Sandy. I apologize. I was obviously speaking for Maine. Sometimes it is laughable how much (Maine) media hypes something up, only to say "oops, sorry."
Anyway, my thoughts and well wishes go out to you that will have a head on encounter with Sandy. Take care and be safe. |

I spent some "quality" time at my Little Slice of Hell today. My weekly 4 hour stop to make sure Motel Happy as Hell on the Beach is still standing. Sandbagged the Lounge doors and foamed them shut.
In the summer, I'd have a "staff", or at least some warm bodies to help me. Today I had me. 
No heroics JimCT, I do this stunt every year. It's where I live.
It's part of my job. My office floor is 10-12 feet above mean high water and 100 yards away from the surf.
I make light of the situation.
" If we couldnt laugh we would all go insane."
I screwed the Jimmy Buffet tape on the steps to the beach. It's worked in the past. |

Kingston, NH | Our utility company, Unitil, is saying be prepared for possible multi-day outages. After the past 3 years of multi-day outages from storms we finally got a generator and transfer switch.

I haven't moved my generator into place.
Usually power goes out for a few hours. Enough for my 1200 watt power inverter (12 volt marine 600 va battery) to keep my Monitor heater and a couple lights going for 4-5 hours. Freezer and refrigerator will last that long, as long as I don't open them.
After that, I have to fire up the generator. |
