Wind and rain just got really bad here on long Island. And there's a tornado warning
The trees are blowing real hard here
Ain't doing shit where I live except just rain. I was expecting it to be much worse.
Eastern PA here, intermittent power and around 10pm several transformers seemed to have exploded. Also have flooding at the Lehigh River where a small bridge connects Northampton and Lehigh counties.
Went and bought two weeks of nonperishable food, and an extra propane cylinder, so I'm pretty sure I'll be fine in a worst case situation.
Starting to rain harder here in Boston.
good luck guys! i hope that everything turns out alright and you end up okay.
Idk whos got it worse, East Coast with frequent smaller disasters or West Coast, which is overdue for several mega disasters. Probably West Coast, but still my best wishes go out to you guys.
Living in Florida I for once don't have to do anything.
There a hurricane on the east coast? Shit I better get ready

Earthquakes aren't a big problem, people often say "good thing i don't get earthquakes" or talk like people who move to the west are stupid because of the EQ's, they're simply not a problem, I mean yeah they happen and sometimes you can feel them but there hasn't been a fatal one in California (unless I missed something) in years.
Uh, seems to be cooling down now, Just a bit of rain, But damn the winds were crazy
All good Here
Seems to just be a relatively bad storm, here in NYC. At least, for now.
hardly a hurricane.
No hurricane in California. But in my respect, I will play the whole L4D2 Hard Rain campaign to simulate how you guys feel. Good Luck!
Hey my power just came back on.
Neat.
East MA here, it's a little rainy and a little breezy.
...I'm a little dissappointed...
My entire towns' power is out, except for my neighborhood for some reason. There are branches down all over the place and the roads are mostly flooded. Southern New York by the way.
This is going to sound horrible, but from what I've been experiencing so far, this is [B]really[/B] anticlimactic.
I dunno,i read on news portal that in the east coast there is already 10 dead people.
The stream by my house is overflowing. I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
I went outside and filmed stuff, but my camera is wet now, so I'm gonna let it dry out a bit before I get the files and edit it into a video.
I'll take a few pictures of the stream for you.
Mostly quiet where I am, I keep hearing sirens so I guess things must be bad somewhere.
oh and my rain bucket (my roof leaks) over flowed. goddamnit.

I take it back. My school is basically gone.

Don't have any, and the stores are closed.

I really wish I had a USB cable for my phone. That'd make this easier.
I hope my relatives in east coast would be alright :)
I think im done with the rain, but the wind is still blowing pretty hard.
[b]Damage Report Thus Far:[/b]
Half of the tree in my front yard fell, and was inches away from killing my Dad's truck.
There was a couple leaks in my basement, but we took care of that right after it happened
As far as I know, didn't lose any power last night, but wind is still blowing, so we'll see.
