I'm in the Philadelphia area. Around my area it wasnt too bad. Lot of high winds/rain. I was part of the lucky group. Not sure how others fared.

living in Miami, i've been thru plenty of these storms. Sandy really isn't even really that powerful, but i'm assuming cities in the northeast are far less prepared for it than we are down here.
hope everyone's OK.
edit: some useful info for the aftermath of a storm like this: do NOT walk around in flooded streets. you can get serious illnesses and many people die in them after the storm is over. you can't see downed powerlines and people get electrocuted all the time.

well to be fair..sandy wasn't just a hurricane either..it was a combination of 3 (i think) storms colliding and exploding into one massive one

Yeah i know it was a cat1 hurricane plus a snowstorm and then there was high pressure in the upper Atlantic which was forcing it to go inland but the snowstorm/jet stream forced the hurricane to somewhat wrap around and sit without moving.
I think the biggest issue was more of how slow it moved through. Not so much the pure power of the hurricane.

Hope everyone in the east coast made it through and wasn't affected by the hurricane. I'm thankful to live in Cali, although I don't appreciate the drunken Mexicans who slammed into my parked car, left their disabled vehicle behind, and took off. May Sandy come and whisk you away.

Hey guys:
I actually live on Staten Island and we got hammered here. I was luck, my house just has no power.
But I also work with the local government so I've been rather busy other wise. I haven't been able to get on the internet outside of work. Don't know when I'll be back to "normal". Sorry if I miss any check-ins or emails.
- A.J.
