Well, representing Vermont here: It's dark and gloomy right now, but no rain and no wind yet. There's a "high-wind" warning starting 2 PM this afternoon, but looking at the 5-day forecast they're just saying winds around 20 MPH and a little bit of rain/snow. Tonight/tomorrow we'll probably get some pretty strong rain storms, but other than that I doubt (hopefully) there's any real damage 20 MPH wind will do to the power in the apartment complex here.
Most of my friends on here are from the East Coast... I'm terrified for them. Then again, I am from the UK. We've never had anything like a hurricane, so I'm not used to dealing with them.
Having said that, It's still not a thing to take lightly. I hope everyone makes it out safe, friend or not. ;_;

I live in Brooklyn, so the most I can expect is some wind and rain. In spite of this just being an overblown rainstorm, the mayor has saw fit to shut down the subway system, so regardless we're stuck here (don't have a car), and people here have gone nuts. I had to pick up chicken for dinner yesterday, and between me and the boyfriend, we checked seven different overcrowded grocery stores until we were able to find any.
Besides almost all the meats being sold out, canned foods and bottled waters were all gone as well, in an area where a hurricane consistently means a heavy rain, a few blown off tree branches, and that's it. This happens every year.

I live in southern texas on the gulf of mexico. We're just getting some stray showers that broke off from that huge ass storm but not going to be affected. Good luck to those on the east coast. That thing looks like a monster
I live in Maryland, in Frederick county, and it's coming down pretty hard right now. Windy, too. It's not too terrible yet, at least. I went out for a smoke a few hours ago and a hoodie and umbrella were enough to keep me relatively dry. I can hear the wind right now as I type this. Pretty sure it's getting worse. I haven't checked the weather channel at all, though, so I don't know how bad it's estimated to get.
My supervisor just told me that work is shutting down tonight at 8pm so there's no need for me to go to work tonight. On the bright side - YAY! On the not-so-bright side, crap here it comes. I've already been notified that we might be without power for awhile tonight, as well. That's perfectly fine with me, as my DS is fully charged, water and food are stocked and the hunkering down is in full swing.
I've had a couple of flickerings of power outages; nothing major yet. But that wind just keeps a howlin' some fierce. Rain has been mild, at best. Still, good news is Sandy lost its Hurricane status.Temple Guard said:
Eh, I'm in Buffalo. Gunna get hit fairly hard with wind and rain but I'm not worried. I have a week's worth of supplies laying around at any given time, in a relatively elevated area, and I'm used to shit weather. Not even planning on missing classes tomorrow.
60mph gusts(30mph normal winds)
and rain for the entire week
they were predicting 1-2ft snow at first so this is not as bad unless the power goes out.
then this will suck

My classes are cancelled for tomorrow, and the wind and rain are crazy. A friend of mine was working in the lab, and security said that it wasn't safe for her walk across the quad to her dorm, so she ended up staying in the building for a couple hours. Also, the TV informs me that a town about fifty miles away has a nuclear power plant warning. Can't find any more information about this, but I'm kind of worried.
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:
i live in tiny Denmark.. nothing impressive never really happens here... Good luck to all of you guys though!
Shit that's cold. Currently 21C/70F here and it's 5pm. Sometimes, in the coldest depth of winter, Auckland hits 0C in the coldest part of the night and we all panic.TehCookie said:I am so jealous right now.
