I couldn't take Sandy seriously until it was big enough for Frankie to notice.

 

But I hope this doesn't drown out the vital advice he's posted about Halloween.

Winds continue to pick up in Arlington va and you can see the worst is an hour or so away. Time to bunker down!

The wind is ripping through my apartment building and shaking my front door. Meh.

 

    Quote

Wind just fired up, now it feels like a storm and not some afternoon breeze

Well lights finally out. Transformers lighting the sky.

How is shaking, trees are bending, how I still have power, I don't know.

Anyone in CT and CLI needs to be careful!

still have power here, though there was a huge wind gust for 30 sustained seconds, Ill be honest...I was getting a little freaked out when I felt the foundation sway ever so slightly.

NJ and NYC are getting hit with the hardest winds it seems.

pretty much seems like a very strong noreaster outside. I both envy and am relieved that I am not getting the hurricane force winds NYC is getting.
