I survived Sandy!
« on: October 30, 2012, 03:54:15 PM »
Ask me anything! :-)

In truth, we only got high winds and a ton of rain. Some neighbors have water damage and some tree saplings up and down the street probably won't make it. We only lost power a few times and never for more than a few minutes.

I didn't get to shoot any zombies  :rant: :rofl:

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Loss power for less than a day (lost it last night, got it back around 1ish this afternoon).    Our friends in RI, NYC and LI were not as fortunate.   NJ is a total mess.   

It's going to be a long rebuilding process for LI and NJ.

Too bad. There is NEVER a batch of Zombies when your having fun.

Looks like the storm surge did all the damage.
OK, My question: what survival food did you buy to weather the storm?

I'm OK too.  Didn't lose power although many in NJ did.  Lost a tree but it fell away from the house -- just have to chop it up.

Don't we have people in West (BY GOD) Virginia? And I think we have a Baltimorean.

If we put a map up like I suggested...  :rant:
