Yup better safe than sorry.

Speaking of the sorry part, read this article about a replica ship that managed to get stranded out at sea 160 miles from the hurricane center with 17 people aboard. www.newsnet5.com/dpp/n...cane-sandy

Can't fix stupid after reading that article. Shocked

I hope it blows out by Thursday, as I'll be flying in over Nova Scotia then on down over the affected area to Atlanta, GA.

Joe, just a question: have you been practising shooting flying deer with blackpowder?

I would say to keep your powder dry and your head clear!

I'm not very good at moving targets Laughing

.. The eye is suppose to make land fall at Jersey about 6 pm. The eye should be over me around 10 ( thats a guess) I thinks it's going to be a pretty crappy night. We have had 20-30mph winds with some pretty stiff gusts and steady rain all day. It should be a interesting night Very Happy

No problem getting to work and back. We only worked half a day, 12 hours. The roads were relatively empty, which was a nice change. The winds near the coast were a lot stronger than here in PA. about 80 miles away and the ocean was as wild as I've ever seen it. Two of my coworkers had to evacuate their homes, they're homes are just a block from the ocean. The wind here at home has picked up a lot and while I have power now, the lights are blinking now and then. I doubt I'll be going to work tomorrow.

My power has been out quite a few times, but keeps coming back.....so far.
