ronhonda Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We have not met yet, but I have been hearing a lot about you. You are going to cause major disruptions to me and countless others. Right now I am moving a ton (literally and figuratively) of stuff including my re-loading components in anticipation of your arrival. Odds are heavily stacked against me that we will get flooded (again) Of course it does not help that I live in a flood prone area. Be safe and stay dry.

Babaganoosh Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm in Belmar. 3 blocks from the beach. I usually just hang here but they have been anal about evacuating everyone. Im probably gonna roll to my sisters early to avoid all the morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker88 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Lowes, Home Depot and Costco are out of generators. I guess there will be a sale next week when those who "panic-bought" the generators go back to return them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMJ Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 They are calling Sandy a "100 year storm", my thoughts go out to everyone dealing with this coming storm. Keep your powder dry, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storz Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 My parents live in the OBX and are bracing. Their house got flooded bad by sound surge from Irene. They've since learned some lessons Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronhonda Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Luckily we have family less than 20 minutes away, so if need be we have a place to stay. Just moved all the perishables from the basement, so now we wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I hear you. I'm just a little further north than you and my shop flooded during Irene last year. I wasn't able to move back in until march because of insurance taking their sweet time to approve the claim and get the place gutted and rebuilt. Doing alot more prep work this time but if mother nature wants in, shes gonna get in. If we get flooded again, this will be the 3rd 100 year storm to cause flooding by me in 13 years.

3quartertime Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Good luck to all. Small craft advisory on the Gulf today and tomorrow as the winds blow across the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Been kind of windy here all day and the oceans pretty pissed off. Expecting an epic swell next couple days once she passes and things clean up. South Beach and PR had the swell today but crowded, damn!!! Jersey has deep water, a short shelf and narrow barrier islands, they always get a bad surge. You're all in my prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddriver Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Just wish she would make up her mind as to where she wants to go. Sure would be nice to know if we will have 24 hours of tropical storm weather or 36 hours of hurricane weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babaganoosh Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Belmar NJ. I am 3 blocks from the beach. Have to officially be out by noon tomo but some areas are flooding already from storm surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think that a mandatory evacuation would be one of the hardest things that I could face. I'd probably stay behind and guard my stuff. It would kill me to have to leave anything behind. Up until March I lived 100 yards off the beach, and never once had to worry about floods. Now I'm eight blocks off the ocean and have seen more flooding from rain than anything but we've remained high and dry. Best of luck, prayers are with you.

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Here in Cape Cod the trend has been to build closer and closer to the ocean. If you drive around you see the old Captain's houses which have stood for hundreds of years. Guess what........ None on them are on the water. They knew better. Storm surge will not bother me where I live. My greatest concern is power outages. Hope they don't happen. I have too much work to get done this week. Surgery 2 weeks away and I need to be all caught up. I hate dragging a 200# generator around with me Son works at a home center. One rule they started a few storms ago. Plywood is non returnable :roflol: Best of luck to those in the path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My advise... Never ride one out. You don't know what will end up happening and usually there is nothing you can do when it does happen. Leave your "stuff" and... if it is damaged... I, or someone just like me.... will get you up and running again..... I am heading "up North" in an hour or so to stage up and wait for the water to go down in a couple/few days...

Biloxi23 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Went through Elena, Georges,Katrina and Isaac as a police officer. You never realize until after it hits you had no idea what you would need, and not be able to get after the storm. I will say a prayer for you guys in teh northeast, because I do have an idea what you will face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
