    Tropical Storm Sandy

    Wow the latest storm reports are not looking good at all.!! I was reading a article online this morning, and they are saying this storm could match up with Katrina in some aspect's due to it's enormous size. One of the weather channel's forecaster's said Lake Michigan could end up with up to 25 ft waves!!! now Lake Michigan is just little ways from east coast to say the least, that's a big storm. To all forum member's , family, friend's stay safe out that way.

    Yeah - my stockpile that winds up 20 miles away.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    last check on nws a few minutes ago had it forecast to be centered in PA and then up to UNY, then going on into canada, with winds currently at 90mph. as yall already said though, it'll reach out there a ways

    NHK just said landfall Mon evening in NJ, from where it'll probly continue on into PA, then they(nws) say it will turn north

    A few counties south of Lake Mich has flood warnings out for the roads already, and the wind has not picked up here,,,yet.

    Calling for 50-60mph gusts,,

    My condolences. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

    I have two garages and two storage sheds and they're full of stuff already. I have way too much light & #1 iron to store in a garage.

    I can't say I know how you feel as I've had the good fortune to hang onto the one that can tolerate me, but I have lost a mom, dad and step-dad. Still think about them after all these years. Hang in there,,,
