I'm sure there are a few others besides myself here (Va Beach here) on the EagleNest that are along the east coast and prepping for Sandy to visit over the next few days. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and that you all stay safe.

Indeed we are. We are in NJ. It's bad enough that school was canceled for Monday and Tuesday and the governor has declared a state of emergency for NJ. Tip: If anyone thinks they will lose power; freeze milk containers or any other bottle or container with water while you still can so that if you do lose power you can move perishables to a cooler and keep the food cold. I hope that everyone else in it's path stays safe.
I will keep everyone on the East coast in my thoughts. Stay Safe!
Please, if you are in an area that they are predicting to get it hard, don't try to ride it out.
- Make sure everything is charged beforehand. Phones, laptops, kids' electronics, etc.
Anything that you might need to keep the kids busy and occupied when they're stuck inside.
- Get any prescription meds refilled.
- Also, if you have any animals make sure that your number/contact info and name is on them just in case.
If anyone has horses, you can use a black sharpie and write your contact info on their hooves, it won't hurt them. Since things like halters can come off.
I have toilet paper, beer, and cigars. Bring it on, Sandy!
Since I spent my first 37 years living in south Florida, I've been through a few hurricanes. If stuff does get damaged, it will be rough for a short time. Just remember, your's and your family's lives is more valuable than any possesion. Power will be out, modern conviences will be comprimised, but don't fret, things will get back to normal and it will be a faint memory. Good luck and stay safe.
Well we survived the storm with nothing more than a busted lamp, a blown off screen, and lots of branches and leaves all over the place. We lost power at 2:30 in the afternoon and are still without power. It is expected for us to not get power back for about 5-7 days. :o Important thing is we are all right.
In the middle of the storm I also received a set of clear turn signals in the mail so that was good.

We have family just south of you, in Hyde County, NC on Albermarle Sound. They're on the mainland and I think they're OK, but we haven't heard from them.

Happy to read you're OK
Got nailed over here in Staten Island, 19 deaths, power outages, and lots of flooding. Just got my power back on this morning, thank god nothing happened to the eagles. On top of all that we are short on gas up here. I am down to 1/4 a tank.

There was a news report on TV tonight about Staten Island. The gist was that relief was unduly slow to get over to Staten Island because of political reasons. The TV cameras showed horrific sights. Here's praying you and other islanders get what you need, and soon. :eagle:
Just an update; as of now still don't have power, but we are hopeful that it will be back sometime today.
We've heard from family in North Carolina...everyone is fine. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. :eagle:
thanks eaglebeek yes the aid seems to be at a standstill up here.
