Hurricane Sandy

Leo, don't forget the dramamine. And watch for the gun boats escorting you out of NY harbor.

:laugh: Andrew, we have plenty of motion sickness patches. Sandy is moving inland ahead of high tide, great news. Hoping cruise will start on schedule Wednesday evening. We need a change of scenery.

Hope you have a nice trip, things should clear up by then.

On the weather channel you see shots from Narragansett, RI.,, that's the area near the bridge we went over on way into Newport this summer on TT 2012 ralleys ride. That was the bay we went over.

Thanks Jonesy! Look at this nice picture of Sandy skirting around NYC. pepper

We made it home from Maine at 1:30 . The TSHTF . We gave 2" an hour rain and 60 MPH wind gust. I have my Gen waiting . I got it last year at Lowes never expecting to use it. It was such a deal I could not pass it up .

 

[leo3wheel]

Well, it happened. Our neighbor's evergreen tree uprooted and rests against our house. Came close to downing our power line. So!! Something to fix before we go away.

Still raining with the wind blowing here. All the streams, ponds and rivers are over-flowing. But some how, we made it through without loosing power and from what I can see, no damage to the house or property outside of downed branches. We're clearly one of the fortunate ones.

Prayers and best wishes to all who were less fortunate.

We did fine. Slept with one eye open and a night light on. I fig if the light went out I would know to start the generator ..We had a short brown out and a lot of blinking. 25% of town was without power. Thank God the temp. Is in the high 50s.

 

[Bikerbozo]

Looks like I passed through storm fine. I'm one of the few areas with power on LI. One glass table in back shattered. Not a big loss. Will be a pain (maybe literally) to pick up. No trees down. And one plus...ALL leaves in front yard blew away. Zero raking there needed. Backyards mostly pine needles. Gutters clogged also.

Power went out in the wee hours of the morning here and the generator took over.

 

[Oldmsocko]

My generator came on at 02:00 this morning and is still running. I am certainly glay I coughed up the dough a couple of years ago. It is a real piece of mind.

Man, I feel kinda guilty-we have had 70 degrees the last two days with not even a breeze. People in the storm belt seem to be resiliant to impending disasters! There are draw backs to living almost anywhere. We only have about six months of good riding weather, due to snow and cold temps. I hope the seige on the eastern seaboard calms down soon and rebuilding is swift and good!

Had a bad day. Worked all day around the house, and just ordered our first meal. Worked with someone neighbor hired to remove the tree against our house. There are a bunch of clamps that got broken on our power conduit. We did not lose utilities. Large branch went right through the roof of our new, expensive shed. Filed a claim with our homeowner's insurance. We cleaned the front yard, removed branches that covered our deck, pulled the branch from our shed roof and washed deck and cars. Fortunately, nothing happened to our trike. We are both exhausted, and we did little to clean the back yard. My bum shoulder and lower back are giving out. May have to forget the back yard. Our cruise departure has been delayed a day to Thursday. Now we have to shop for Halloween candy. :laugh: Noticing a bunch of floaters in my eyes. Not sure if stress of day can contribute to such things. We need a cruise real bad.

Sure hope you get a good nights rest and feel better tomorrow. Maybe a good thing the cruise was delayed a day, even considering Halloween candy shopping.

 

[leo3wheel]

Yes, we need to forget the back yard and rest tomorrow. Thanks!

Hey, don't try to do it all in one day. I feel for you after living 60 years in South Florida and experiencing my share of hurricanes. Enjoy your cruise and put all the work out of your mind, it can wait.

Sandy has passed through Maryland leaving devastation and lots flooding behind, and a full moon tonight which may cause more flooding...... I only lost power for about 12 hours in my area and did not have any trees down close to my home........I am so thankful for that......

Leo, I hope you enjoy your cruise after all you have been through, I have lots of family in NJ and I felt awful today when I was looking at the pictures of the beautiful Jersey Shore, Seaside, Belmar and Asbury area..........I had just been up there visiting my sister two weeks ago..............be safe Leo and have a wonderful time on your cruise......

 

[Bikerbozo]

Leo, what you need to do is tell the trick-or-treaters YOU are going with TRICK and put them to work cleaning your yard....Then eat all the candy yourselves. That is all a sure fire way for you to feel better.

Mary, Glad you did not have many difficulties with Sandy. ThumbUp

Thanks for the good wishes!

Sandy, You're a pain!!
