Another year, another Hurricane ... off topic Sandy is on her way up the East coast, packing powerful wind and bringing her friends. Her friends, who are joining the party, are a combination of Winter storms all coming together at the same time. Upon impact, they're projected to mercilessly unload their arsenal while carving a devastating path in its wake, (and to quote a figure of speech): "take no prisoners." Sandy, only days away, now have the Carolina waters in it's sight, cruising North a couple hundred miles off the East Coast and making its way inland .... between now and Monday It'll make up its mind to hit dead-on either us, Washington, or New York. This one's reported to drag along plenty armor, inviting itself to hang around and stay awhile ... And even if Virginia survives it coming ashore, its awsome strength won't have pity enough to leave us unscathed. Today, our governor officially declared Virginia a State of emergency. Some of you might remember my bringing you this same kind of scenario last year, before the near-miss of Hurricane Irene. Lets hope my luck is still alive and well. Otherwise.... As you step out of your door Monday morning, enjoying the slight breeze and relishing the soothing, purring stomach juices reminding you of a breakfast of bacon an'eggs, and the assurance of your electric stove being operational before dinnertime...... think about ol' graymane.  | |

Hopefully it is more bark than bite. I'm a long ways away from where Sandy is supposed to be, but I'm hoping it doesn't screw up the nice weather we've been having recently, it was 75°F yesterday and it is almost November! In the North Country this is unheard of! Anyway, I hope folks are spared much hassle from the Hurricane. At least it is only Category 2... "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I, for one, loved the application of the Halloween spirit in calling it a Frankenstorm Having been in NC for the 1991 Blizzard and CO for the 1982 Christmas Blizzard plus Gustav & Issac all I can say is "thank Gawd, it's not trick or treating me".

I live on the opposite end of the spectrum in the year us, not eastern south, but western north. I envy the coast line and weather there. But each year when these things role around I pray for those on the east and count my lucky stars I only worry about Tsunamis and heavy rain. Hope all goes well for you on the eastern areas, keep us in touch how you are doing. I have a generator if you have a 4000 mile long extension cord ?

Hey Toad, I like your tag line. And I suppose it's too late for a little merchandising, such as the Amazing Enigmatic Unsolvable RomneyCube, with little colored squares that keep changing so that you can never figure it out. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

Well, my good friends, fellow PU members, and especially those who penned herewith their generous concerns about my wellbeing in the wake of this storm..... my gratitude reaches the roots of my soul. This morning (Sunday) Sandy sent us here on the Virginia coast but a teasing example of what we can expect tomorrow (monday).... when she'll realllly flex her muscles. Her callin' card had already arrived early this am. getting our attention with unrelenting, torencial gully-washing sweeps of rain accompanied by high winds. Before day's end, all low-lying areas throughout Hampton Roads were under water. Speaking from a layman's view, If the rain continues at this pace, I could see it soon crippling the whole coastial seaboard. Power outage have been monumental, and the real beast has yet to arrive. Note: All this, and we're getting only the outskirt of Sandy. I suspect tomorrow anything not nailed down just may become airborne. Think Superman in flight. Edited on Oct 28, 2012, 08:40pm | |

My girlfriend is currently in North Carolina on a school trip. She was supposed to be flying home via New York this evening which nows seems very unlikely. Luckily she should not get hit by the worst of the storm but when she will be able to get home is anyones guess  Stay safe people The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? Frank Zappa | |

It's been hitting where I'm at all day, but it was in light to moderate rain showers. It's now trying to change over to snow and our local forecasters gave this vague prediction, "A trace to 6 inches. You may not have an inch, but up the road a few miles could have 6 inches." We were about 30 miles west of the warning areas for power outages and the heaviest snow, but it looks like it could still snow here for the next 24 hours. I'm hoping the weather people know what they're talking about when they say the storm is less intense now. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it.

A president seeking to be re-elected or who wants to help maintain his party's control over the executive branch will try to be seen as a hands-on executive who dispenses aid to voters. Hence, when something bad happens in an election year�the Mississippi River floods, wildfires burn in the West�the president is quicker to declare a federal disaster than he would in a nonelection year. In 1996, President Clinton was so eager to feel his constituents' pain that he declared 75 disasters, more than twice the number he declared in 1995 and 70 percent more than he did in 1997. Nor are the spikes evident in every election year: 2000, 1988, and 1968 were comparatively benign on the disaster front. "If you don't have many major things happening, it's hard for the president to invent them. In 1988, there were only 11 officially declared disasters. (Perhaps Reagan and Bush I felt the Dukakis challenge was so feeble that there was no need to act precipitously.) And while the general rise in the incidence of disasters may also seem politically suspect�a typical year in the 2000s saw about twice as many disasters as a typical year in the 1980s�there has been a distinct rise in development in marginal areas and in the value and concentration of property along coasts and rivers, in forested areas, and on fault lines. Twenty-five years ago, when trees burned in forests or when hurricanes smacked the coast of Florida, they were far less likely to cause massive property damage and threaten lives. CT Since 2007 | |

NP Denner, Seems like a disaster can make or break the incumbent, does well he is a hero, screws up relief and he looks like a bumbling fool. I know we all would hate to think disasters are political but they are. Whether a present does a fly over or not really has no bearing on help, it is not like AirforceOne is going to land and the president will grab a shovel and begin laboring? I am glad that the PU members are respectful of each others views and we tread lightly here as well. I will say for good or not, the Presidential Candidates, will be on their best behavior right now, each making it seem like they love everyone and will do what ever it takes, in the days now of Twitter, Youtube and instant, I mean instant news they can neither afford to look lazy in this election.

Seen in cold day light: what a mess! My sincerest sympathies to the millions who have been affected by this monster storm! We suffered through Juan here in the Canadian Maritimes, who did a lot of damage, but Sandy is almost beyond comprehension as you see the flooding, the fires, the power outages in so many States. We're with you in spirit, folks! | |

All's well that ends ........well? For-whatever-reason or possibility, I'm gratful to whom or what source might've intervened to usher Sandy farewell upon leaving our Virginia coastal area intact without near the expected damage predicted. I never lost power nor did we suffer any wind-damage throughout Sandy's over-stay of pounding winds and torencial down-pours. Sandy spared us the expected crushing we'd gerded ourselves for and I couldn't be more gratful. I'm wondering if Pat Robertson (whose broadcasting empire lies within our Virginia Beach borders) has yet again been influential in one of his reported fireside chats with our Allmighty, (having took credit for diverting previous named storms away from our shores) in diverting Sandy's potential. If so, I might reconsider his donation request for being bequeathed benefactor of my estate. Again, youse guys ..... for all your support. | |

Just great to hear, your're safe, graymane. The most important is life and health - but ones home is still a main thing in the daily life - I think the fear of having to leave your home due to damages is just simply: a nightmare - and even the deal we once had here in Denmark the winters of both 1999 and 2005: days with power breakdown due to hurricanes - no electricity also means no heat.... I really kind of fear what the future could bring in storm, flood ect. "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle" Edited on Oct 31, 2012, 06:39am | |

I certainly won't claim to have suffered anywhere near what other have, but last night the edge of Sandy skirted by southern New Brunswick in Canada and we had a series of heavy thunderstorms. One of them, at around midnight was probably the most intense I've ever experienced. Lightning that lasted for four or five seconds and made the street look like high noon, thunder that vibrated the whole house and rattled pictures on the wall, high winds and intense rain. I just had a wee taste of Sandy and that give me a lot more empathy for those who took her full-force. | |

I don't know if its true or not, but I hear this storm's size stretched over a thousand miles. I've been through a number of intense storms (nor-Easterners) and hurricans ... an' having lived on the US coast most of my life ..... but Sandy was unique in a lot of ways, all of which literally made her a force to be reckoned with. The most significient among other things was the length of time it continued to just set there and churn out high winds and unabated torrents of rain. She just dug in and never gave a clue when she was leaving. | |

I also lived 25 years in the Mtns of NC so I missed Katrina - Been here about five years, my mom, sister and niece here also and it's just good to have them near. But I've been through Gustaf and one this year. No fun - in fact interrupts my fun. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee.

Living in those pristine NC mountains is about as close to a piece of paradise as one can experience, particularly if you're one who values nature's scenic wonders, air so clear and clean you can almost taste it's purity, alienation from urban blight, and, I'd suspect, among other things, worry-free unlocked doors. With all that, and the mountains to help block the full fury of storm winds, I think I could endure what remains of the onslaught of dangerous hurricanes. And oh yes, JBerry, there's those hardy Southern grits ......yummmmy. | |
