Waiting On Sandy

Usually the biggest snowstorms really take their time coming up from the south. And it seems like forever before they leave.

Same thing with Sandy. It's taking forever to get here. Not good.

Good luck stinks. My mom is pretty far inland, so power outage is her biggest threat, but my in laws are 4 blocks from the beach and riding it out. My wife is a wreck.

Hope the power stay's on for you, My neighborhood lost power a few weeks ago and half the people opted for hotels.

Good luck to all of you in Sandy's path.
Hopefully, it's punch isn't as bad as feared, but I'm sure you're prepared.

The silver lining is that wall street is closed for the day. I hope everybody stays safe during the storm.

This one is so large, it's expected to hit Toronto with 60 mph winds and is rated up against the all time disaster storm for TO: Hurricane Hazel.

The good news, post disaster was that Toronto watersheds were managed carefully from then on to ensure a re-occurrence never happens again.

You're right. Slow moving storms aren't good. These kind can do a great deal of damage.

I suspect you're not a very religious guy, NJ, but I'll keep you in my prayers throughout the day.

P.S. Do you at least have a generator?
