Can't happen, you'll always have the power.

Seriously. I think our police academy uses our transformer for practice shooting.

We here in the 'hood call it the Great White Whale coz it continually blows.

It looks like you are all going to die. Can I have your stuff?? I can hop on Cheri and ride her up there. She's a tough old gal, but she can pull a train

Trilby · 10-27-2012, 07:54 PM

you can have my stuff. Lotsa a purple sweaters, animals, costume jewelry and books.

It'll be fun for you!

Only if it floats his way.

Good luck to all of you on the E.C. CNN is beside themselves with joy reporting on the coming acopolypse. Hope they're exagerating as usual.

Hiya Sam, I was just about to put out an APB on you. How's life?

footfootfoot · 10-28-2012, 11:11 PM

We're in this amazing protected valley. When Irene came through we had a bit of rain. 15 miles south of us in VT, their shit got all fucked up.

Shangri-la right here.

Big Sarge · 10-29-2012, 12:01 AM

Cheri & I are ready to come rescue you. We only broke down twice on a 30 mile drive. It would be a grand adventure

ZenGum · 10-29-2012, 12:42 AM

I'm sure Addie can fix it.

Undertoad · 10-29-2012, 02:54 AM

It's so weird waiting for this to arrive. The flooding is going to be much worse than the wind damage. We already start with full moon high tides. We are gonna need your winch Sarge. And bring sand because the Jersey beaches are going to be devastated.

6:21 AM in central CT - The wind is starting to pick up and it's misting a bit. I think it's supposed to get worse around noon. Being on the "uphill side" of the storm, we'll probably get more wind than rain. We have everything about as picked up and strapped down as possible, I even tied down my beehives with ratchet straps. Like foot3, we are in a weird weather area where most of the heavy stuff goes around us - somehow, I don't think that will happen this time. Got food, gas for the grill, scotch - we're ready.

"The waiting is the hardest part." -Tom Petty

Fairly steady rain already but almost no wind. I don't care about the rain so much. We get a few puddles in our unfinished basement. But the potential wind scares me. Lots of mature trees around here and the power is certain to go out. Stupid overhead wires. I'd be happy to pay my share to bury them. And I would vote for a presidential candidate who ran on the platform of getting them buried.

Trilby · 10-29-2012, 07:20 AM

wind and rain. Meh, it's ohio - far from the real action but we're getting hit by a snowstorm AND then the remnants of Sandy.

I feel for you guys. This looks like it's going to be nasty.

PS - foot: you're NORTH of VT? I always thought you were in the Fluffia or DC area...
