What I am waiting for is the resulting requests for assistance that will materialize, and how the repugnican congress reacts to the forthcoming request for emergency funding from FEMA. . .  :rant:

Yes, this may very well be an "October surprise" vis-a-vis the elections.

I'm waiting to see if that super storm materializes.  Should be interesting to watch from over 1,000 miles away.  ;D
:eek: Think of me while you're watching! If things go the way they are predicting, we are going to have one heck of a mess here. I live in Northern VA - the D.C.metro area.

I have spent most of the day so far getting stuff together in case the worst happens. All the D batteries (for my radio in case the power goes) were sold out at the usual places. I finally found some at, of all places, Toys R Us. In all the years I've lived here, I've never lost power long enough to need it. But this time -- what if? Worst case scenario -- something like what happened in Richmond about ?8 years ago. Can't remember which storm that was, but a relative who lived in the NW area was without power and water for at least two weeks. There was major damage in the area, with flooding and many large old trees down.

Good luck Libby.  Let us know how it goes.

Good luck, Libby. My daughter lives near Bealton and works at Tyson's Corners so they are battening down the hatches, too.

Thanks, Anne. My biggest fear is a tree falling on my house.

Unfortunately, Sandy is a lot like me. She doesn't know when to quit!

Hang on to something all my East Coast Friends! This is gonna be a doozy!

According to Accu-Weather:
6:00 a.m. EDT: Sandy is a truly massive storm on satellite. One of, if not the largest tropical cyclone to ever develop in the Atlantic basin.

Having a friend who owns a store and using them to obtain liquor on a Sunday would be illegal; and the bible thumpers would want them both incarcerated for years over it.
