Hurricane Sandy

[dungeonbunnies]

My family and I will be keeping all of you in our thoughts. Stay safe, everyone!

Thank you for keeping us updated. It has been raining here off and on for the past 3 days and the wind is crazy. My brother and I took the kids trick or treating and My umbrella is toast. a good gust of wind flipped it inside out and then bent it over. :/ Two hours later, I'm still not completely warmed up.

Our city just went under volunteer evacuations. This is crazy.

The storm is rolling in fast. When I checked early this morning it was still pretty far out, but it's expected to hit the DMV Area and PA tonight. I never thought Pennsylvania would get a hurricane but the governor has officially declared a state of emergency.

 

[audrinasmommy88]

Meg, the thing is, what you will get tonight is nothing compared to what you will get. This thing is HUGE! You will get the outskirts of it. The eye hasn't even gotten to me yet it's still in Carolina/bottom of VA

 

[CosmosMomma]

Yeah I saw that! It's scary because It's only a category 1 and expected to be bigger than Isabel. They're comparing it to Agnes which my mother said was terrible.

 

[JessicaK]

I saw somewhere that the storm is something like 900 miles wide.

Not wanting to jinx anything, but it's still really quiet here.

 

[CosmosMomma]

Jessica, it's up to 1200 now.

Oh wow. This is crazy! Stay safe everyone!

We're getting a light drizzle here in northern VA plus some light winds all day. Things are supposed to ramp up by mid-afternoon tomorrow. We've got our flashlights, candles, emergency food, radio, and batteries ready to go! Bunnies are stocked up on food and I've been checking the news all day!

Just FYI: Capital Weather Gang (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang) is a GREAT site for all the latest info.

School has been cancelled for Monday AND Tuesday (I'm thrilled!) so we'll see how it goes. Good luck everyone!

I just got a picture of our major bridge almost completely under water. As soon as I get to the computer I will post it. It's crazy!

All my friends and (biological) family are out that direction too. My best friend has had graduate school cancelled for at least one day (Hopkins), and everyone is really flipping out. My dad's bunny, on the other hand, loves storms. She's probably having a blast sitting on the back of the couch looking outside.

Stay safe, all of you who are in its path!

again, best of luck to all of you weathering out the storm! I hope all of you stay safe and don't suffer any major property damage. ray:

Hello all!

Hope rachel and Katherine are well ray:

Well, my clan have been evacuated. We live on the western edge of the Rehoboth Bay in long neck, Delaware. We are staying with friends that were generous enough to take in hubby and I as well as 3 bunnies and Fred (our hermit crab). We are under a state of emergency with level 2 driving restrictions, which means emergency personnel only and persons with a waiver can be on the roads. The rain/wind is intense, and the ocean is definitely up!
If you are interested there are webcams on the Indian river inlet bridge with some spectacular streaming video of the ocean overrunning rt.1 (this is the major north-south artery running past all the Delaware beaches and down into ocean city, MD)

I pray my house and all of my neighbor's houses will be there when I return. Some of my neighbors have decided to stay and I pray they are ok ray:
I recommend DE 1 & inlet rd. North indian river inlet. This is a 2 lane rd that runs parallel to rt1 which is a 4 lane divided highway (also in the shot)

Rachel--hope you all made it through the night ok!!! Still relatively quiet here although the rain and wind are picking up. High wind warning starts at noon today.
