Rayzor Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Glad to hear you're dry TimLizzy Much like Shawna I rely on SF boards for info. Don't be shy east coast dwellers: let us know you're alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_M Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 We got hit with it here in NEPA, but not as much damage as the coastal towns of other states and southern PA since we were well above the eye and it weakened somewhat as it moved inland. We did, however have a young boy die from a fallen tree limb just north of here, many trees down around my area and people still without power in neighboring towns from fallen trees on electrical wires. That was one huge, bad-ass hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear from UJ, Ron, and Jenny, too... What? Oh yeah, we got power about three hours ago. Hope it holds out. We are a few houses of light in the middle of lots of darkness. No damage. Guy behind me had a tree cut through his house. My office is still in the dark. Drove to Pennsylvania for gas today, gambled at Mount Airy Casino and drove back. The Jersey Shore was hammered though Wildwood was mostly OK. Seaside will need a year or so to rebuild from what I hear. We take a licking and keep on ticking...

Rayzor Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Keep kicking and keep ticking RJ!! Tough to hear about all those nearby who'll need to rebuild, but still nice to know you evaded that mess. Hopefully power remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 15 consecutive hours of power normally isn't cause for celebration but it means there was heat all last night and frankly sleeping with a knit ski cap isn't as much fun as it sounds. Part of my lack of preparation was the early consumption of my Jack Daniels. That's a mistake I won't make again...not the early consumption part, but the running out part This is far from a normal Sunday morning because so many people and businesses are without power. A Noreaster is scheduled for Wednesday with 50 mph winds and lots of rain, maybe some snow. This is the time of year when I seriously start asking Shawna if she has a spare closet for me down in Arizona although Lucky in SoCal provides another wonderful alternative place to seek shelter. There are trucks from all over the country here with workers to fix us up. The guys from Ohio Edison spent hours in my town and I thank them. I can tell some jokes about what it's like because, well that's what I do in most every situation, but the fact is that there is devastation all around. It will take time and money to fix some of it, some will never be the same. If you find yourself in a position to donate a few bucks to the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army, please do. There are lots of folks really hurting and without the means to get back on their feet. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Good to know that things are looking up, for you anyway Ron - and I won't tease you with our temperatures today, just know you'd be welcome and warm, any old time. Hope those winds stay reasonable for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Well, looks like when Obamacare kicks in, my employer will likely knock me down to 30 hours a week and I'll have to start looking for a 2nd job to make ends meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I don't even have to wait for obamacare to kick in: our health insurance rates will go up next year. Oh, and we're losing even more money in our deferred compensation/retirement plans because the market took a few more hits. Better brace ourselves for floored-more-years of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better brace ourselves for floored-more-years of this You might want to be in a money market fund for your retirement plan before the first of the year as investors will take gains at a lower rate before Obama let's the tax cuts expire starting January 1st, driving the market DOWN.

Shawna Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 but I get younger... excellent philosophy on life! My brother-in-law says he's old (he's 54), and feels every day of it.
