Not actually the hurricane, god dammit. That is a random supercell thunderstorm that formed from the energy of this storm. If that were the actual hurricane, the Statue of Liberty would be several hundred miles tall.

I am one of few in my town with power in CT. Might start letting people around me who need water and stuff to come by. My family and I were really lucky not to get any power outages longer than a few minutes. Hope everyone else is good too.

Maybe next time champ. If your lucky a tree will fall on your car and another will land on your house so you lose power!! Then you can be stuck in your home with no power, use your candles and eat your granola...

damn this is a lot worse than i thought it was going to be. Serious thoughts go out to the people affected and the police, fire, ems and utility workers that will probably be putting in some serious hours in the coming weeks.

We have friends from Long Beach who weekend up here. I am completely beside myself in regards to them. They stayed here last year during Irene thinking it would be safer, they lost so much in their upstate home. Now with Sandy, they decided to stay on LBI, and their home destroyed there. Submerged under water, they lost everything inside. I don't even know what to say......

Im a firefighter in westchester county. The town that I live in has thousands of white pine down, almost every road has a major tree across it. Hundreds, if not thousands of utility poles are snaped clean in half. NYSEG is giving us a 6-10 day ETA on electricity returning.
