Sandy: During & After the Storm

[ped579]

Matt mentioned the SLOSH models in case you are not familiar with this term it stands for "Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes" .

This model only helps in decision making like what roads to keep open and which ones to close.  What shelters to open and which ones to keep closed.  Not all shelters will open for some very specific flooding reasons.

If you have any questions on shelters please ask as all most every county has a list on line for you to check.

Be Safe

Yikes!

Here in Lacey we have a mandatory evacuation order for anyone within 1000' of the water.  We are not that close (maybe 2000'), so we are not required to leave.  But we are planning to leave in the morning to go to my brother-in-law's house in Jackson to hunker down.

Same here in Branchburg.  Winds are light yet power still went down for a bit.  We lose power if two people sneeze at once around here.

We just had a tree come down in the back yard and split the yard in 2.  The hot tub is a goner though.

[Still Running]

That stinks Paul, hope everyone is OK.

[Pfishingruven]

No good!  Worried about a couple of trees here and my vehicles.

Be safe...

Parkway exit 128 south closed at 4 pm

[Capt. Carl]

She is sitting right around the canyons....picked up speed...moving close to 30 MPH now....landfall in 3 hours now it seems....which is 3 hours before the tide......
Oh and still no Hurricane Warning for NJ. 

[ped579]

Everyone is okay here just a little shaken up.  We moved my daughters room down to the basement as her room is on the side of the house where all the trees are.

the speed is a good thing as it will be here and gone and the start of picking up the pieces. 

Its a good thing that we put the kayaks in the garage as one of the limbs took out the dog run where they were being stored.
