hellpop Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hope everyone on the East Coast is safe over the next few days (including myself). You know it's serious because Atlantic City is closing all their casinos tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperChefMate Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 What!?!? I'm in Philly and nothings closing. I have to work Sunday and Monday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah stay safe guys. I know my family were battening down the hatches for this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Stay dry and safe. I hope this one fizzles out for you. We wouldn't mind a little rain in SoCal so send some our way. It's going to be 84o here tomorrow. We have four season's: earthquake, fire, flood, and drought. It's currently fire season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) What!?!? I'm in Philly and nothings closing. I have to work Sunday and Monday... Hey SuperChefMate, I work down near the airport, at Boeing, and they shut down operations at noon yesterday, got to call a hotline tomorrow to see if we are still closed. ... and now they've been calling it "Franken-storm" which seems appropriate for the season :biggrin: Edited October 28, 2012 by Nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah, I think Frankenstorm is going to be the preferred term, but I prefer Megastorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 My office was kind enough to remind everyone that we don't close under any circumstance, so that's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My University closed for Monday and Tuesday, i'll only have one class Wednesday, so thanks to Sandy i've got pretty much one day of clss this week. Besides the overreaction by...well, everyone, it's actually pretty great. But yes, be safe everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperChefMate Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 And just before I was about to leave for work, I got the call: Cancelled! It seems like a good minimates day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must love your job, Sham. Do you mind if I imagine that you work for Hank Scorpio? Yep, no work or school for us today. We've got our hatches battened down, so we should be good, unless things get really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Stay safe and dry, folks, and keep your Minimates family updated, assuming you have power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 You must love your job, Sham. Do you mind if I imagine that you work for Hank Scorpio? I do actually. They eventually sent us home because they got concerned....for the computers. And I work in collections, so everyone tends to think I work for someone like Hank Scorpio.

blacksun1520 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Kids had no school today due to the storm. We lost power a little over 2 hours ago, but other than that everything's fine. No trees close enough to the house to fall and hit it. My neighbor did have a tree snap in half and another friend of mine about a mile down the road had a tree fall on her house and the impact caused the water pipes in her basement to burst. Hope everyone else is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Fine so far, it sounds like the storm is going to be worse here around Philly overnight, so hopefully we can sleep through it. My biggest worry is that we've got a giant old tree right next to our house, but I think it's pretty sturdy. Power's still up, internet's still working, so hopefully I can get caught up on Fringe and Homeland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Stay away from those trees! Everyone stay safe and dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperChefMate Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Argh....power just went out. Not too far by, a few trees and a roof fell down; no one was hurt. Hopefully that will be the worst of it, and everyone is okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) My power went off at about 9:30 last night, and just came back on a few minutes ago. Other then the power outage, we made it through just fine. Hope everybody else has had similar good fortune.

blacksun1520 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah, we lost power for about 23 hours and had some branches in the yard, got very lucky compared to others in town. My thoughts go out to those in NY and NJ, I hope things get back to normal soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
