Everyone Take Care

[WormGod]

Got pretty ugly my way. Powerlines down due to falling trees, flooded roads, and debris everywhere. Work closed yesterday so I just stayed in and kept eye on the house to make sure if it blew away, I could go down with the ship. Today, not so much., Work as scheduled. The drive in was only slight mayhem. Parked the STi since the VX was better suited for some romper stomper action if need be. Good thing too. Drove over quite a bit of nature and man made items. I didnt see any power outages for stoplights or anything on my 30 mile commute in, but according to the news, they are out there. Hope folks arent without power too long. Its a chilly one out there today.

'Cept for babysitting the sump pump - no problems here. Stoopid sump decided that the float switch should go out when most needed. About once an hour I had to go out & shake it to get it to come on. I gave up at about 1AM. No water got in the house though. Float switch replaced today.

Best of luck riding out the storm guys, us inlanders will be watching the news and thinking of you!

X 2...hope all our East Coast VX Fam rides it out with minimal/NO damage.

Safe and healthy but the area has been absolutely decimated. Can't look in any direction without seeing an uprooted tree blocking a road, crushing a car, or cleaving a house in two. No power, no heat, no phones, no internet, need to drive a mile to get mobile service, no gas anywhere, empty ATMs, fistfights at 7-11 over final drops of coffee, all to the soundtrack of emergency sirens, National Guard helos, chainsaws and gas generators... And I have it pretty good judging from some of the images I've seen in the news.

Hope all you East Coasters are well.

And oh yeah, my VX got me places I'd never thought I'd see. And hopefully won't ever again.

After watching the news tonight and seeing the absolute devastation all I can say is WOW! Wishing all of you out east the best of luck and my thoughts and prayers are with you...

Overall we made out ok. 5 downed trees but no damage to the house, shed, or vehicles. Just a busted section of fence that the neighbors insurance will cover. I would normally even fix that myself but they have other claims they are making related to this tree so might as well give myself a break if they are willing to pay for my fence too.






Day 3 without power at work, i was busy yesterday though, got everything cleaned up except the neighbors tree.

Hey etl, glad you made out ok...aside from the power...I lost power monday night but got kicked back on tuesday night. The downside in my case was stupidity...over the weekend even before the storm I needed to get the VX out and about, it's been sitting for awhile. Needed to jump the battery, no biggy, go to pull out of the garage and whack...backed into my daily driver which I forgot was parked on the driveway right behind the VX. VX back door very bottom is bent in, lower bumper seems fine, I think. Just friggin great, a dumb mistake I cried about even before Sandy showed up.

Flew in Sunday for work won't be leaving until Friday. So far only issue was loss of internet for awhile at the hotel on Tuesday. Except for that you wouldn't know anything had happened except for stories from other people who weren't so lucky.

Where the heck are YOU staying?

Not bad in NH. Just alot of people without power for a day or so. Mine was out for about 3-4 hours.

That is all I can say....the hurricane walloped my current State of NJ and my old home State of NY....where I grew up is destroyed..people washed away and killed by the surges from the ocean. One Mom lost power and was getting water so she put her 2 and 4 year olds in an SUV and started to drive to Brooklyn. While on her way the ocean started to come crashing into land and she evacuated her vehicle - lost the 2 year old and then the 4 year old slipped away....both were found tonight in the marsh - my cousin was on a gas line with me and she received news her friends husband and son were killed when the surge came in and flooded and then collapsed the foundation walls on their home - father (50) and son (20) were both killed.....just two of the horrible stories from this storm.
I lost some pieces of my house (a 10 ft column, ballisters, shingles, my kids trampoline etc.) but everyone is fine and no injuries so we were lucky. Lost power at 3:00pm Monday and came back on today. Thank goodness for my generator, and some luck finding gas. I am glad everyone is well.
