| jeff 10/28/2012 8:45:40 PM | For the many of you who live on the East Coast... and even as far west as Chicago... It is my sincerest hope you and those close to you are able to ride the storm out and keep safe and dry.

| Windoor 10/29/2012 9:27:37 AM | My prayers go out to those in harms way. I live in South Central PA, so I am quite a few miles from the coast. My home is up on a hill, about 2200' above sea level, so no threat of flooding. I feel reasonably safe. The latest forecast for the storms trajectory has the eye of the storm practically going over my house. I would think it would be greatly diminished by the time it gets here. I hope so. Still, they are calling for heavy rain and wind gusts to 60 mph. As the electric tends to go out around here with a strong fart, and we are at the end of a service area, I expect we will be without power for quite some time. My only real concern is that I will not be able to use my PC to download the data files. Can you reach HDW and download files with an I-Phone? Transfer them to a Laptop to run UDM's, then use the I-phone to make wagers at a ADW? Regards, Windoor

| lsosa54 10/29/2012 11:09:49 AM | Thanks Jeff. The worst should hit between 9 PM and Midnight. NYC and North Jersey are pretty much shut down so I'm working from home as long as the power holds out. I'm looking out my window at the Hudson River and I've never seen it looking like the ocean - waves and whitecaps. Thank goodness I'm on a cliff above it and not right on it.

| jeff 10/29/2012 11:14:56 AM | I have an Aunt in Margate City, NJ. Can you guess where the storm is predicted to make landfall? Her house is about 300 yds from the beach and sits on ground that is, by best estimate, about 7 feet in elevation. Last night, a family member told me that she and her family have decided to ignore the evacuation order and ride the storm out at home. I just got off the phone with her. She informed me: "This house is 75 years old, has withstood all of the previous hurricanes, and we are not going anywhere because we are safer here than anywhere else." Yikes. -jp .

| lsosa54 10/29/2012 2:25:31 PM | Man, yikes is right. I hope she does ok. There are a lot of folks that feel like her, esp. those that have weathered these things before.

| jeff 10/30/2012 11:54:34 AM | Pic of Atlantic City, NJ that someone put up on Twitter earlier today: http://twitter.com/ChrisBonanni/status/263022246019362816/photo/1/large Pic of the Wawa in Avalon, NJ: http://twitter.com/justpizzi/status/262958330262200320/photo/1/large Margate Bridge underwater: https://twitter.com/BoxingInsider/status/262975588644573185/photo/1/large EDIT: The bottom 2 pics (above) might not seem newsworthy to anyone at first glance... I posted them because I was there visiting a few weeks ago. Believe I bought coffee one morning at that same Wawa. Also drove across the Margate bridge a few times. (The pic shows the bridge completely submerged with a guy in a raincoat walking on top of it ) -jp . ~Edited by: jeff on: 10/30/2012 at: 11:54:34 AM~

| jeff 10/30/2012 11:59:15 AM | Happy to report my aunt was right after all... Her house ok. Their immediate neighborhood without power - but no real damage otherwise. Not the case for houses and shops on other nearby streets - many flooded during yesterday's storm surge. -jp . ~Edited by: jeff on: 10/30/2012 at: 11:59:15 AM~

| lsosa54 10/30/2012 3:22:52 PM | Good to hear Jeff. Let's hope the weather patterns haven't changed permanently on these storms. Don't need to see one again for a long while.

| Ishmael 11/1/2012 5:34:33 PM | Wow that was no fun Saw everything but Moby Dick Mass chaos and carnage. But all in all very very fortunate No floods in my area but massive damage with trees and power lines down. We escaped both, So just had to deal with no power. And power just came back a few hours ago So all in all extremely fortunate. Many a neighbor and colleague dealing with damaged/lost homes and cars. Fortunately no lost lives but know not the case for others. Just crazy. NJ shore devastated.

| Caveat 11/2/2012 9:26:30 AM | Staten Island here... Being on the WEST Side of The Island , we were spared the devastation that happen on the East Side.. People would have never thought that the water would have gone so far inland that most stood home. Taking to friends , they feared for their lives as it gotten worse and couldn't even leave if they wanted to....but they made it.. Some of these pictures still make me cringe.. http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/11/hurricane-sandy-the-aftermath/100397/ http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/11/hurricane-sandy-the-aftermath/100397/ ~Edited by: Caveat on: 11/2/2012 at: 9:26:30 AM~
