Really, that bugger is moving awful fast

 

[CarolinaMoon]

no grill? two cinder blocks with ur oven rack on it, cover the gound with tin foil, burn what ever u have, that first morning coffee is necessary no matter how u get the water hot.

I use my electric coffee maker. Just pour hot (boiling, if possible) water slowly over the grounds. Worked great in June.

Wow..I am watching our NBC affiliate doing interviews with people who live aboard houseboats on the marina in southwest DC. Oh yeah..sometimes it's a little tough for them to sleep in this weather!! :what:

Gov. Christie just said that no attempts at rescue in Atlantic City will be made until 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning because it is too dangerous.

 

[scorekeeper]

whoa, Governor Christie is very upset that people did not leave the barrier island or Atlantic City.....

Representatives of Eastern Long Island Hospital announced Monday afternoon that patients requiring hospitalization at the Greenport hospital will be transferred to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead or Stony Brook Hospital for treatment as part of the hospital’s emergency evacuation plan in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

Landfall in N.J. in less than 30 min....

 

[Anna1964]

apparently there was one on each side of TN.. small ones..crazy

I saw on the news Eastern Arkansas had a 3.9 early this morning also. Strange weather this week.

Listening to Gov. Christie, I'm getting such flashbacks from Ike. I want to cry. LISTEN when they tell you to evacuate! This is nothing to mess with, and now...UGH.

Gov. Christie is not my favorite person, but he is correct in what he's saying. I just don't like him because he froze my NJ pension forever!

Me luvs Chris Christie! He always tells it like it is. If he says leave, then leave. If you don't heed, we'll get to you when we can.

(BTW - my SIL who lives in Monmouth Co., NJ does not expect her place of work to make it through the storm )

McDowell county NC had a small earthquake as well. Getting very creeped out with this weather.

These earthquakes, they worry me a lot. Add to that the storm, and you've got some very concerning occurances right now. I was joking about the Apocolypse before, but now I'm starting to scratch my head...

Jersey's Gov. is furious at the local mayors who told their folks to not leave...and who directed folks in AC to a shelter that is one block from the shore, and already flooded. I think, if that's the truth (and I don't see why it wouldn't be), Gov. has a very, very good reason to be utterly furious. He knows folks will lose their lives, and he knows he can't send folks in to rescue...so he is understandably distraught and furious that his admonition was not simply ignored, but countermanded.

I would be furious, too. And I hope they all make it through the night, and that rescue can begin at first light tomorrow; and that all the folks who need rescue are, indeed rescued.

In any event, my prayers, thoughts, love, and hugs are sent to each and every one of you in Sandy's path. At the top of the hour (3 pm my time), I will say a prayer for all in the path of the storm. Feel free to take a few minutes with me and ask God for His protection during this most horrific time...and God Bless everyone.

Been worried about your mother and Willen in northern PA. How is she doing? Does she have neighbors she can be with riding it out?

Anyone heard from Willen? She was so frightened. ??

 

[Duke Fan4]

Score,

You do a wonderful job! Thanks so very much!

 

[scorekeeper]

940 pressure - record

think it has come ashore

 

[Gardenlady]

Ok the earthquake reports are creeping me out. We haven't been fooling mother nature, we have been hurting her, with all our pollution and fracking and deforesting... She ain't happy.

Not trying to be political... just a treehugger bemoaning what we do to our planet.

Hanging in still here in Mass. Now just on pins and needles as DH makes his drive home. lease:

Any cams in Atlantic City?
