I'm originally from Long Beach on the South shore of Long Island N.Y., talked to family just a little while ago and they had 7 feet of water. Their three cars completely ruined from being flooded by salt water, and a basement with 4 feet of water after the tides receded. Yikes ..... Shocked

Luckily all are safe and fairly sound (can't be too sound they are related to me!)

come on people its just a freaking hurricane get over it already. Roll Eyes

You ain't kidding. Every winter for the past 5 or so years we get these really annoying wind-storms over night that no one seems to pay any mind to even though they knock trees into houses and rip down power lines. But god forbid one little hurricane comes through and the sensationalist media makes a sh!t storm out of it. My Mother won't stop calling me to check in. Lake flood "warning" oh gimme a break. That's why we have breakwalls.

Sorry to the few in Long Island that have flooding but that's what happens when you live on the ocean.

The worst damage was what I thought was a gutter, but was actually some flashing, ripped off my neighbors house and was flapping in the wind against my fence. --Steve

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, new job has been a biotch on my SS.com time. WV got (are getting) a pretty good whooping with this storm. Wet, heavy snow, overall nasty day. Hubby drove me to work because I have one very un-fun hill to cross. Snowed all day. Roads were mostly just slushy for the drive home. Lots of trees down or broken, one good-sized limb in my driveway when I got home. Water had been off sometime during the day, neighbor said main was busted down the road, but fixed quickly. Cable had been out too, but is back. Never lost electric, but its not over yet! One more day, we hear, but I'm good.

Take care all.

They are saying $50bil in damages (probably a low est), 6 million folks still without power, and many of those without water too. I can't even imagine being in devastation like that, and then losing my home on top of it.

Yea Toes, some of our higher elevation areas did get a couple feet of snow. I swear I heard one town got 38", but don't quote me on that. I'm near Charleston, and although it snowed hard and long, it has stayed in the upper 30's and is lower 40's today, so it won't stick around long. It was 80 just a week ago, so the ground is still warm. The ski slopes will like it, until it hits 60 this coming weekend...

Here are some weather cams and info. http://www.wsaz.com/blogs/brandonsblog/brandonbutcher/Expanded_Tracking_Tools...

The snow was so heavy and alot of our trees still had leaves on, so we had alot of trees fall. Lots without power, including most of my family members. Hubby and I have been lucky <knock on wood> and our power stayed on. Haven't checked our camp yet, I hope we didn't have a tree knock the place down. Might go check it this evening.

Reply #29 - 10/31/12 at 11:54:13 This pic is HUGE, so I'm only posting the link instead of the img, but I think its one pretty cool snow pic. Got it from the page I linked it my last post... It says "This is what 2-feet of snow looks like in Mount Nebo, WV" http://mediacdn.disqus.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/375/1287/original.jpg
