I live in CT, and the wind is extremely powerful right now. Trees are falling down. I've never seen anything like this before.

 

[Struct09]

All is calm here in Seattle. It's not even raining.

 

[Haly]

I'm in Annadale, shit startin' to get windy.

I thought they evacuated the coastal places?

 

[FinKL]

Was watching the CNN NJ Live stream and it just cut out...

 

[Dragon]

All is calm here in Seattle. It's not even raining.

Are you bluemaxing right now?

 

[Why would you do that?]

It still hasn't really picked up in NYC yet. Kind of disappointing. I thought it was supposed to hit this afternoon...

Where in NYC? It picked up a lot where I live in upper Manhattan, and judging from some posts here, it picked up a lot in other areas around the city too.

 

[Gustav]

All is calm here in Seattle

I think you have your east coasts mixed up.

 

[SarcasticD]

This wind is no joke

 

[coldfoot]

Internet just went out. Still have power. Figures god damn time Warner.
Time to play some xcom while I still can

Annandale isn't by the coast really. Everything below Hylan is evacuated.

That's a first.

Same, shit did nothing like this during Irene and it's only going to get worse. Not sure wtf he was expecting.

 

[GashPrex]

This guy on CNN in Atlantic City is nuts

 

[Tr4nce]

I'm from PAL land, so I don't have to worry. But I wanted to say that I hope that all of you will be ok and that you get through this without too many problems and other shit.

Hang in there.

 

[atomsk]

Power is out here in Lakewood NJ, and my Sprint 3G is garbage.

Best of luck GAF

 

[Haly]

Ah, I see.

Here's hoping the power holds out.

My newest obsession is refreshing Dominion's website to see the power outage numbers go up:

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Gusts up to oh-fuck now in Park Slope.

 

[sonycowboy]

I live in toms river nj and its just windy

We must both be lucky... We've had blips of the power going off for a second, but Toms River has 32k reported outages (worst in Central/Northern NJ)... There are only 32k households in Toms River so I guess they've got to be referring to all customer (commercial & residential)... And the storm hasn't actually hit yet, BTW.

 

[JaseMath]

That's crazy...

That's one of the most amazing photographs I think I've ever seen. Wow...

EDIT: Aaaaand I'm a fucking idiot.

 

[anddo0]

BK NYC: Might lose power and internet access soon. I took a look outside and cable/power lines are off the pole and almost street level.

 

[Clott]

same- what area?

West Village

 

[Ferrio]

This wind is no joke

Wise words from Ron white about hurricane winds.

Cause it's fake as hell.

 

[Gr1mLock]

How are the trees in Sunnyside Gardens doing?

There's always branches and shit fall off even without wind. Im sure if/when it starts picking up here that the trees are fuxored.

Upper East Side. The wind has picked up a little bit, but the rain is still pretty light.

 

[Anoregon]

I'm getting some really ridiculous winds here in northern westchester, ny. It's weird how it not even really raining much, it's just crazy windy like a mo fucker.

 

[Dragon]

Upper East Side. The wind has picked up a little bit, but the rain is still pretty light.

The wind is insane here on West 84th.

Ocean pouring into Long Beach on ABC7.

 

[jamesinclair]

There was a walkway between the side river and main river....all the trees on it are gone.

Ducks dont care

 

[-PXG-]

Internet and cable are out. Fucking Comcast.

[Enduin]

Lost internet/phone for couple minutes in Massapequa. Still had cable and electricity but no phone or internet, weird. Still don't have phone back.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Just walked to the store. Kept thinking a tree or powerline was gonna hit me lol. The trees were all bending over and power lines were jumping all over the place.

 

[VeryGooster]

I am right by Newark Bay and across the river from NYC. Basically strong winds and drizzling rain. Feels a bit more powerful than Irene. Two brownouts. Hope other people are doing all right.

Was never gonna be a rain event for us in NYC.


Wind and surge event.

Someone posted this yesterday — video of a ship caught in a hurricane. The waves are terrifying:

Yea this makes me realize what those crazy storms that the original ships that discovered america went through. Isn't the fact that that ship is so big make it hard to capsize though?

 

[El Sloth]

Yo, the wind is starting get seriously rough over here. The tree in front is doing the Harlem Shake in every which way.

 

[Zabka]

I'm disappointed that no channels have made a suit of protective hurricane armor for their on-site reporters. I figured it would be a natural evolution.

 

[maquiladora]

Battery at 9.74ft now.

 

[Gray-Jaeger90]

just outside my house (in piscataway, nj)

still got power though but those winds....stay safe everyone!

 

[Enduin]

Transformer at my parents house in CT blew the fuck up. They're gonna be out of power for a long while.

 

[shadyspace]

Why doesn't the west coast of Europe ever get storms like these? It's like they only go in one direction.

 

[Matrix]

Battery at 9.74ft now.

yikes

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

So how long is this suppose to last? I got GFE's to see.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Ocean pouring into Long Beach on ABC7.

Watching this as well. Footage is absolutely amazing. Kudos to the reporter for having the guts to be in the brunt of the storm and still have the capability to communicate so well.

 

[Mystic Theurge]

Storm sex would be amazing right now.

I was just thinking this. The storm would make a perfect background.

 

[strafer]

Why must you be so scary, nature.

Stay safe!
