So, umm…What’s the usual chance of Grisly Death in NYC when there isn’t a major storm?Be careful up there. From someone who lives in the USUAL path of the big storms.
In upstate NY, we didn’t get hit too bad. Rain, heavy winds, lots of power outages (though we ourselves were spared) and several downed trees. That’s about it as far as I can tell.
5:39AM in Haddon Heights, NJ. Since I’m typing this, power is obviously still on. (I’m old-school, still working on a desktop.) Storm seems to have gone through here without too much damage. Unfortunately, that seems to not be the case for way too many others. I wish them all well and hope things get back to some semblancy of normal before too long.
As I said on another site:I sincerely hope that everyone of our commentators have remained safe and dry and are “empowered”. Sorry, bad pun, but couldn’t resist.The one positive thing to come out of this horrendous storm is that it is turning our national attention away ( temporarily ) from the political vitriol and towards what we do best – helping each other, in times of need.

I found it rather surprising that 15-foot waves were expected – in Lake Michigan.

16 deaths in the US and Canada so far from this storm. I hope everyone stays safe.

My situation in inland Brooklyn is pretty good, but for areas near the water- Red Hook, Sheepshead Bay- it has been devastating.

Chris Christie doesn’t hate FEMA at the moment.

Shouldn’t that read “…should be swept away…”?

I’m not involved in this, being on the other side of the Atlantic, but I don’t envy anyone who stands to suffer..May it pass soon.

Here in the Mid-Atlantic, the big wind is gone now. Meanwhile, there’s a farm girl somewhere who realizes that she’s not in Kansas anymore.
