Hope Dan and all our other East coast people are safe and secure. Let's hope it moves away from the coast and limits damage!!

Post by: Hoops McCann on October 30, 2012, 03:57:25 AM: I wish you guys could have been here to hear it. In my area of New Jersey, it didn't rain that much, but the sound of the wind gusts is absolutely unreal. It's akin to a freight train right outside of your window. That's the best way to describe it. Sure, I've heard howling winds during thunderstorms and snow storms, but certainly nothing of this degree.

Remarkably, I haven't lost power, but from what I've read several lower levels of my office building in lower Manhattan are currently flooded. Again, that seems almost unreal and to my knowledge has never happened before.

And already we have rumors of multiple deaths across NJ, and Atlantic City in the southern portion of the state is still underwater. It's a total mess.

Thanks guys for the thoughts though. :wave

I have several friends and aquaintances who live in New Jersey, in the Asbury Park area.
Gave it a try to get a hold of them on FaceBook and heard nothing so far. Hope they're ok.
Since I also have their phone numbers, I will see if it's still possible to give then a call......

Who IS Ian Thomas compared to "in goal" TW anyway? Terry played at Live Aid, Mandela and Alchemy. Enough said.

The last I heard the death toll was at 35 and climbing. This was a serious storm. There was a lot of talk before and even during the storm in real life and around the web that this storm was being over hyped by the news media. These people thought the true affects of the storm would be minimal and that the sense of panic the news media had created was unnecessary. Well, they were wrong. This storm warranted all of the hype it received and the reported death toll and the millions of dollars worth of damage backs that up fairly soundly I think.
