For all the boys on the east coast, what are you seeing out of the storm so far, here in ct nothing yet, but by midnight we could have winds up to 90mph. south shore of long island going to get hit hard. shutting down I95 highway by noon time today . Last storm we where out of power for 9 days good luck to all

Good luck fellas. Hopefully it won't be as bad as they predict.

Here in Cuba on the Chesapeake, we're getting hammered with rain and some wind. But the latest models have it turning towards us. Looks like slow, fat storm.... Ugh.

I'm hoping its over quick, just to know something. I'm a lineman, got sent to Baltimore, but they stopped us here in Virginia. Waiting to
See what happens now.

Hopefully it pushes some birds around... I got 4 days planned to follow this storm hunting ducks in NY while everyone else is cleaning up their properties...lol

Good luck guys! I'm sure many of us on here don't give it much thought, considering we usually deal with these a lot more often, but I know it's sometimes a whole different animal when it hits a really congested area like this one could. Call us if you need a mud boat army!

Got to Baltimore around midnight, so far rain and a little wind, should get interesting starting about 5 today from what I hear. If they think I'm gonna be picking up powerlines in this shit they outside their mind

Mudbuddy77 what company are u with? I'm with Willbros t&d

Good luck to you all!! Hope you have prepared the best you can!

Daughter says everything fine on 45th. The Louisiana girl is in charge of hurricane preparedness for Manhattan.

this storm is going to hit us at high tide ,plus new moon ,big ,real big the eye is tracking for NewJersey they say it's 300miles wide trees already coming down in NYC and where not even close to main part of this strom .

What service center u from?

Ok... So I don't miss anyone.... An open thank you to all who will be helping with Sandy.

Texarkana

Hell who are you? Bet I know you. I worked out of that service center for years, been gone for the last 4 tho. I know most of the lineman there. Did buddy Shepard come with yall

Pmed you

Damn RJ this might put a hitch in getting your boat built

Damn, I wish all the duck hunters around here were lineman.

One of my lease partners is a lineman with Cleco and got sent to Baltimore. He swears he will be back by opening weekend. I have been giving him a bunch of shit about it. We wagered a steak dinner that he wouldn't be back if this storm is as bad as they say it is.

All BS aside...I hope it is not as bad as the forecasts and I am buying him a steak dinner. Just reality tells me that is way too many people and way too much infrastructure exposed to a storm of this magnitude to be home in less than two weeks.

Hope everything turns out Ok for everyone affected.

update :winds are gusting up to 60t it's 1.30pm , hope we don't get the 75-90 mph winds there talking about tonight ,(onan genny ready to go) filled up 240gal of propane, plenty of food ,the food stores don't have a loaf of bread on the shelfs , state and towns officials are moving everyone out of there coast lines homes (mandatory) this is giong to suck if it's what they say is comming will see?

I'm in CT and we lost power bout 2 hrs ago.. Winds aren't really that bad yet and barely raining. Was suppose to fly out today, now they're saying Wednesday.

Im here in dover de....nothing but wind and rain so far along with a flooded yard. Still have electric for now. Just time to sit back and wait this out. High tide tonite will be intresting due to the wind shifting and possibly locking the tide and surge in.

best thing to do is to get your board games out, get your cards out, listen to the weather radio and just pass time. It's going to be a long 48 hours.....and have PATIENCE. Patience will get you through this.

Stay safe.

Well said buddy, im planing on rotting a hole in my couch and working on the duck calling skills. Wish more people would listen to that advice.

Update?

The eye is directly over dover/ nothern kent county and is heading west and is being downgraded. Still have power in most of the area. The delaware and new jersey beach areas have taken one hell of a beating. Arround where i am there are some downed trees and flooded areas but all in all, im thinking we are all very lucky so far.

No real damage in the area, but that is the end of sandy... other pics are of some of the equipment we'll use when storms come up here. Support from the national gaurd, natrual resources dept and my fire department. Jersey took 100% of the power and new york city got the surge. Im thankfull no major damage in our area just locallized flooding. We where lucky in central de.

Hey bh, yall need a mud boat army up there today??

I'm assuming dhF250 ain't just sittin around the motel today...

Lol i wish we had an army of them! I have the only one in the area. Unfortunatly the 250 is a pavement queen and pulls a camper, i tease my buddy about it all the time.

Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

No, I was referring to DuckHunterF250 above, the lineman. All his talk yesterday about sitting around his motel room. I bet he's working his ass off today with all of the outages they've been talking about on the news. God Bless him! He may not see opening weekend... have yall needed your boat or is the flooding not bad in your area?

I bet he will be rewarded in the form of greenbacks though

RJ how does all that work? Who determines where you go and what you do?
