"Frankenstorm" on the way east coast!!!

NYC is a mess and my parents house on Eastern Long Island does not have power so they can't run the pellet stove. Should have bought that Honda generator when I was thinking of buying it 5 weeks ago. Oh, and I should have installed the wood stove in the basement that i have been putting off for the past 18 months.

Oy vey!

The winds were pretty strong last night for about hours. It was powerful.

Out here in Windham, CT, the power went off about 15 times for literally just 3-5 seconds each time. Just enough for the satellite TV to reset itself, which takes a full 5 minutes each time! We were extremely lucky, and thankful we came out unscathed. Good luck to everyone who weren't as lucky, hope things get back to normal quickly.

My power went off at 2:00 pm yesterday. There's some trees across the lines just down the road, surprised the internet's still working. Got the gen humming and the Fisher going. Once the fridge and freezers get cold again I'll shut the gen down to conserve gas. Funny how you take electricity for granted until you're without it for a day or two....maybe more.

nope trying to burn up green supremes before it gets cold

Well, you could live where my daughter is. They are at 13 inches and still counting. Fun Fun

Power was flickering for a few hours on and off but never went out for more then a few seconds. Winds seemed to be the big story around here.
We had 2 trees (large pines) uproot. One on each side of the property. No damage to our house or neighbors from these. Chain saws will be coming out soon! Good luck to everyone!

It was a non event in Albany, NY. Though they did let us out of work early and I used the time to finish my Stove install.

0 damage to report here. didn't lose a stick from a single tree. never lost power. Some thunderstorms this summer were more powerful.

Same here, so far this is a non event.

All is good here in Wallingford CT. Power flickered during the peak of the storm but never went out. Lots of branches down but most were left over dead tree tops and branches from last year's Oct. snow storm. Glad to see them go.

Power back on here no damage to my home could have been much worse . Mother Nature is Undefeated.

Power was out here for about two hours (I was sleeping), the biggest issue was the Internet connection wasn't shall I say reliable, nor was my land line telephone for longer than the two hours the power was off.

The good news is the leaves are almost all down so I can make more compost.
.

Light flickered on and off all day yesterday finally went off at 3:30 am and got it back at 11am ...I guess they realize the powerful person (me) that lives in the area...hahaha...thank god only a few downed limbs and some small trees

We're over in lebanon and had the exact same experience. I think Irene and the snow storm culled all the weak trees in the immediate area. :D

8.5 inches of rain. No damage to my house or trees. Got lucky on this one. Irene was much worse for me down in southern MD last year.

Yes, they're okay. Said it was pretty much a non-event for them.

Woke to what was 3" or so of snow at one point but it was raining so it was slush, rained most of the day and then turned to snow but it didn't lay wind was not what they said it would be, rivers were running high but not overflowing for the most part some small streams went over the banks and closed some back roads.

All in all it seemed tame compared to what the weather people were telling us to expect.

Glad to hear the rest had calm for the most part experiences.

Going on 50 hours without power...485 miles away from the storm. Genny going nonstop. Only used 12 gallons so far.

Err didn't you post to this thread yesterday a bit after 8:00 PM that your power went out at 5:15 yesterday evening?

Me thinks your math is a bit otl or you've been up too long.

Anybody talked to Jay? Conn got hit pretty hard?

Been over 24hrs since he has logged on. . . .

Hoping everyone made it o.k.... Watching the special on the storm and seeing clips from the East Coast

i been wondering the same

that crazy bastard is probly on the lake fishing.

seriously hope everyones ok.

I'm in Middlebury ,CT still no power. It has been out for about 30 hrs. Generator running, pellet stove cranking ( when Benny is on). Hopeful that they will replace the 2 broken power poles by morning. Getting a little interesting with twin 6 yr old girls.
Glad I'm this prepared, but still want to improve setup for next time. I had to take a cool "Navy" shower tonight. That sucked

Yeah, last post I remember from Jay mentioned roof shingles blowing off...........

Luckily this area just had a few outages, maybe 6 hours tops. No cable or internet until last night so getting info was tough.

Prayers out to all in the hard hit NY, NJ, CT areas
