Hurricane Sandy - Frankenstorm!

[aikido]

I live in Central New Jersey and don't expect to have power for much longer. The wind is really picking up now.

 

The Hurricane makes landfall in South Jersey in about two hours time. Should be interesting.

Just saw some footage of Hurricane Sandy where they showed someone's possessions being swept away, including a TV, PS3 and laptop. So now a Dell really is rolling in the deep.

I feel I'm a bit impatient for something to happen now, not a good attitude at all I know as some people will undoubtly die because of this storm, but its only human to be curious about what will happen when the force of nature hits is it not?

[manwiththestick]

Some people trying to surf those waves. Looks like death on a stick out there.

Some good coverage on CNN. Looking scary in Atlantic City.

[Juniper]

I note a lot of news organisations are concentrating on the partially collapsed crane atop a building near Central Park, which appears to be hanging by it's cables. No doubt hoping for the worst.

[dennis tooth]

Sandy is gonna fuck your whole shit up for sure. All I need is a bag of flaps and a bucket of piss sit back and enjoy the show.

Bastard building attendant just cut him off after the power grid went down in his block.

From a nerdy point of view, it's a fascinating state of affairs. Been watching the development of this on Weather Underground.

 

As far as NYC is concerned, it could have been worse. That's not to say that it's not bad as it is, but it appears the system is being nommed to a certain extent by another airmass, and also the track of the system is taking the worst of it away from the city.

 

Still wouldn't catch me going out there in flip-flops, string vest and a kiss me quick hat... Take care out there, all you east coast US folks.

Good lords... This is going to be ugly. I reckon that all that glass in Manhattan is going to end up all over the fucking shop... The wind is just going to rip through those streets. Scary stuff.

Con Ed Shuts Off Power to Lower Manhattan

As the surge of water pushed into parts of Lower Manhattan on Monday night, Consolidated Edison took the unprecedented step of cutting off power to customers because of weather.

The utility said it needed to do that to try to prevent damage to equipment stored underground so that power could be restored more quickly after the storm.

 

At 6:42 p.m., Con Ed shut down the first network at the southern tip of Manhattan, which serves 2,500 customers.

About 20 minutes later they turned off a second network in lower Manhattan that serves about 4,000 customers.

 

Next on the watch list was a network that serves the Brighton Beach neighborhood in Brooklyn. “That one is right on the edge,’’ said John Miksad, senior vice president for electrical operations for Con Ed, adding that high tide when the strongest surge was expected had yet to arrive.
