Greywolf2375 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Apparently one of the people missing from the tall ship that went down has been found and is listed as unresponsive - no further detail. The other is still missing at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitheach Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 You did stock up on alcohol like you said, right? Right?Yes, first thing I stocked up on, so no emergency with the alcohol yet (thank the gods!).. Drinking Constant Comment tea spiked with bourbon, quite nice and comfy. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Living in Britain I'm only really aware of what I hear on the news. Thought this might be of interest though:http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/mimic-tpw/natl/main.htmlIt's a broadcast of the atmosphere from the past 3 days, and Sandy's quite obvious.Seriously don't die guys.

Inigima Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Unfortunately the transition means very little, apparently, in terms of its impact.Still got power up here, it's flickered out for a second or two a couple of times. Hoping to keep it, it's been really nasty out. I haven't heard the wind as much lately but I think there's supposed to be more Bad Mojo coming right?

Fez Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Power's flickered a few times but still on; storm still hasn't gotten too bad yet. Very drunk with housemates tho, so hopefully nothing that requires action on our part will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT around midnight will be the 3rd largest on record, so not close to out of the woods yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Mongoose Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 All time tide level records have been smashed, and rising very rapidly. - In the time i've been typing it's gone up another quarter of a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kairparavel Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 We've had dinner. Drank some beers. Our lights flicker occasionally and we're watching a fascinating documentary that was on PBS called Electoral Dysfunction. The wind has certainly picked up. We are sitting pretty, really. I hope everyone else closer to the thick of it stays safe and warm/dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drawkcabi Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Worst of the wind apparantly is over though there's still 40+mph gusts. Heavy rain expected until early morning hours and most of the peninsula has been flooded and is in danger of worse flooding.But I still have power and hoping I might just have it throughout with the wind beginning to die down.Ducks enjoying the new pond that is my street.

Balefont Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Here's a video from the Weather Channel of an intersection in my town. I had been taking pictures and videos there this morning a few hours after the AM high tide. Now it's apparently flooded and more than waves are passing over the seawall.http://www.weather.com/weather/videos/news-41/top-stories-169/eric-fisher-in-narragansett-ri-31952(Sorry for the ugly link - posting from my phone.)

Argonath Diver Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Up here in Queens, things aren't too bad. I'm on one of the highest hills in the neighborhood, so that certainly helps with the flooding. The wind on the other hand - my building is not tall, but it's about 15 or 20 feet higher than anything directly around it or across the street, and my 3rd floor windows are getting hammered. I keep flinching thinking they're going to break in. It's really, really loud.But, power is on, and I have a hell of a lot more wine. So that's good. And if power does go, my tablet is loaded up with plenty of books (thank you asoiaf, they're all from you guys!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
