Just saw the newest satellite shot of the storm.

It's unreal how big it is.

It's something like 900 miles in diameter...crazy.

Toss in the cold front coming in from the west causing a lot of snow in WV, Western MD, Ohio, PA, NY...kind of amazing when you think about it.

Very sad.

Holy shit! Where did you hear that?

I live right outside fenwick island, about 4-5 miles from the beach right off rt 54. Its very very windy and the rain is dumping. They dont want anybody on the roads so i havent been out today but i did go down to check out the beach yesterday. It is gone, the was up to the dunes and in some parts the water was past the dunes. I know its a lot worse today.

A good friend of mine still lives down there and my dad still lives down there. They both said that OC is getting hammered.

Pics going around the Interwebs.

Now hearing it's a fake.

Gotta love the Interwebs.

I hope all is well for everyone over there, stay safe, and stock up!

Secrets is under water right now.

Funny.

I live in Harford County. It seems I will have the next few days off with my two kids and wife. The wind and rain is starting to pick up. My understanding is conditions are going to be pretty dangerous tonight into tomorrow. We have very large, mature trees surrounding the house. As a result, we have the air mattress ready to go and we will all be sleeping in the family room downstairs tonight.

Be safe everyone! Don't do anything rash (like going out for more beer!).

Friend of mine works for accuweather.

"Direct quote from a document I am working on right now...
"Hurricane Sandy has sustained winds of 90 mph and continues to intensify. It already has the lowest barometric pressure in the Northeast U.S. in history.
In the history of modern meteorology, there has never been a storm like Hurricane Sandy."

Worth it.

I've been out and its rough and getting worse. I'm going to volunteer at my local hospital to be an emergency driver.

Other than that, I hope to get a lot of work finished over the next 36 hours.

I'm at work and probably should be leaving soon. I work in the White Marsh area and the winds have started to really pick up. I've got to make sure the parents are okay. Their generator is in standby:)

As for me I live 10 mins away from my folks and need to start thinking about dry ice locations to hit bright and early in the morning. No sense in getting them now when they'll start evaporating.
