From what I've read, all of the nuclear power plants in Sandy's path are on alert, to include the oldest nuclear power plant located in Lacey Township, NJ.wottabout said:

Living in Ottawa, Canada. So yeah, we'll get some rain and we've already seen a bit of fairly strong wind. Nothing serious though.
So you're saying... The Day After Tomorrow?dyre said:Classes got cancelled tomorrow and the day after for mesmearyllama said:
Let's just hope by tomorrow we still have electricity to play our video games...
OT: I think Alberta will be fine...
EDIT: Sweet Escapist, making me quote the wrong person... No blame to me at all....
Sandy came, she saw, she.....wasn't that big of a deal in the South Shore of MA, which is where I am. Classes cancelled though, so I'd say it is nothing but a positive for me.
I laughed. So damn hard.Tony said:
Please sir, have an internet.
Anyway, it's almost 1:30 AM here in New York, and it's quiet for the most part. Was a bit windy for a few hours, but other than that, nothing exciting.
Then again, I live in Brooklyn, and from what I've heard, lower Manhattan didn't fair as well. Got a bit wet there, but then again, streets flooding is nothing new.
***** please, i live in the middle of Iowa and its about 30 F right now and i'm still wearing t-shirts. Sure its because I don't have my coat with me right now, but I'm not complainingTehCookie said:I am so jealous right now. I can deal with the wind and rain the hurricane is bringing, I just hate Michigan's freezing weather. It's 40f/4.5c degrees and it's only going to get colder til spring >.<SpAc3man said:Ha nope. I am currently enjoying the sunny Auckland weather we always get around exam time..
Behold the glorious sunshine:

Manitoba, Canada. -20C is normal all winter, and it often hits -40C (and F, it's the same) for maybe 10-15 days over winter. The Michigan dude knows, except i's colder here.
Right now it's 3C... which is what? Maybe 35F?
Now for the next person to say they have it worse...
OT: I don't think we'l get hit with anything as most of our weather comes from the west... but if anything does come in from the east and Sandy, it'll be bad. The only weather that comes from the east is tornadoes and terrible storms, due to our weather patterns.
Hope everyone is ok, anyway.
I'm not sure no is a definite option... where is it going to go after Eastern America, is it going to swing to Europe? Keep going North, or fizzle out?... Anyone's guess is good.
So, not affected yet, sympathies and good luck to those that will be hit. Also, my parents are in Jamaica... With things that are going on there, not sure if I know someone who's been hit or not... I hope not.

We were in the potential area, there were rumors flying around about 10 day power outages. We never lost power. Wasn't even that stormy truth be told.
I'm currently attending college in Baltimore, so far no power outages but all classes are cancelled and the weather is shitty so I have nowhere to go. It's kind of boring. Now it's just cold and rainy, yesterday is was windy and there were huge puddles everywhere. It's predicted to pick up again tonight.
Welp, instead of 36-48 hours or rainfall we only got about 12 hours and 2-4 inches. Some parts of the NJ shore got rocked though.
Hah. Well, it gets into the 90's (typically 20-25ish, which is 70+, until August when it's usually 80's+) and sometimes 100-ish here in summer and in early summer, it's light out at 4am and you can still see blue sky at 10pm. It's glorious. On the flipside, in the winter there's only sunlight from 8am-4pm, so... yeah. But with the snow it's never truly dark.TehCookie said:

living in CT, and lucky enough to still have power despite around 1/2 my town being out (including streets in my neighborhood). Just got word from my collage that canceled Wednesday classes making it 3 days in a row now (collage town as 60% power outage at the moment)
The more i see how it ROCKED places like NYC i realize our state got off easy by comparison. although i am sure our coastal towns got it really bad too

I kinda wish nature showing its force would affect me at least for once. Well, not hoping to be affected, but I'd like to see/feel something like this first hand. Continental Europe is boooring. Maybe 4 teeny-weeny theoretically noticeable earthquakes in my lifetime, all of which I've slept through and "windstorm" Kyrill in '07 which, albeit impressively redesigning the forest I used to play in as a achild, I experienced as "okay, it's pretty windy, I guess I have to lean forward a bit..."
