    Just got data service on my phone. A tree fell on power lines and ripped the service meter right off the house! At 8:45 I felt winds I've never felt before.

    No flooding though so def luckier that last year

    Hope everyone is all good. What a shitstorm. A 32.5' wave coming into New York harbor......DAMN!

    Now they have the huge problem of the sewage spilling out of the sewage plant in Jersey? I can't remember what city or town they were talking bout this morning. I guess the raw sewage is everywhere!:eek:

    The weather people and tv news anchors that were out in it kept saying how weird and eerie it was that it was a COLD hurricane. Then they said West Virginia and whatnot are getting blizzards and thundersnow (SUPER JELLY OF THAT..always wanted to see that) and now the storm is headed towards the great lakes......that ought to be a mess.
