Sandy, aka here we go again...

Be safe Crankin, and everyone out there. Please continue to keep us posted as you are able to. This is the first time in a long time that I've regretted not having some form of cable tv...

You can probably get most of the news clips on the web these days. They tend to get them up pretty quick and even at times have live streaming. NBC specifically mentioned the live streaming, that they said they were doing for their viewers who were without power (I guess cell service must have been relatively unaffected?)

Most news and iconic photos go up on Twitter these days before the broadcast media ever get them.

This next week or two is going to be rough for a whole lot of people. Prayers that all stay safe and warm.

Glad to hear all of you are doing alright. I have a friend who lives on the New Jersey coast (one of the small islands). She posted this morning that they made it through alright and the part of the home they built is structurally sound. The old part may or may not be and the houses on both sides of her are destroyed. She didn't evacuate due to the number of cats she has. She had no where to go with them, so she stayed, but they are all ok.

Amazing storm. Have been watching TWC and getting lots of updates on Facebook as well. Ironic that I am down here in Belize and the mid-Atlantic and northeast US is being hit by this one. Hope everyone in the HUGE area affected by the storm here on TE is safe and sound. Been through multi-day power outages from tropical and winter systems in NC, and it's not fun, but much less bad than flooding and some of the other horrible impacts of this monster storm. Stay safe, everyone.

We made it through. My entire town does not have power and there are downed power lines and trees all over the place. I had my neighbor's tree fall in my yard but thankfully, missed my house. I'm temporarily at my inlaws as we don't anticipate getting power back any time soon. My husband works in Finance and I know they are frantically preparing for the markets to open tomorrow. He has been working for the past 2 days behind the scenes even though the stock exchange is closed.

Some of my coworkers did not fare so well. One lost all 4 of her cars (not sure why she has 4) from a downed tree which fell on her driveway. AT least it did not harm her or her family. Another coworker in Hoboken had her building completely flooded and had to be evacuated by the National Guard . It's very crazy here but I consider myself lucky as my friends and family are safe.
