Trafficdiver 8 #26 October 29, 2012 I'm in Boston and my neighbors brand new shingles are all over my yard. This poor woman can't catch a break. The roofers didn't do a hurricane nailing pattern. I can tell cause of the shingle on my front porch here. Other than that not much carnage here yet. I'm about 5 miles from the ocean on a hill so I get the brunt of the wind. hope it stays like this, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZigZagMarquis 8 #34 October 31, 2012 Power is still out at Dad's place in Reading, Pa. Numerous trees, tree limbs and a couple of power poles down in the neighborhood. Dad and I grabbed a hotel room nearby that has power & heat rather than shiver in the dark. Dad's house is okay, but neighbor's house lost part of its roof. Glad that I happened to be in town visiting, otherwise Dad would have just stayed in the house through the night without power and heat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyMcSwervy 0 #35 October 31, 2012 I just gotta say I don't know how anyone who has ever had to worry about a loved on who is essentially cut off from you due to no power, travel restrictions/bans, utter devastation of property. etc. can handle it. I am about to lose my friggin' mind. Yesterday afternoon I got a text that he was ok, had a very scary night with lots of clean up ahead. But that was it. Granted, my cell phone has gone tits up but I have an online text thing through Verizon and I'm not getting answered and his cell goes right to voicemail. I know there's more important things going on than keeping in touch with me but the stress of not being able to help in any way I can, not being in touch, not hearing someone's voice and knowing they're coping ok... that fucking BLOWS. BTW, for any of you who caught President Obama's news conference from NJ this afternoon and saw the boats and devastation in the background, he's a block from there. Always be kinder than you feel.

Krip 2 #36 November 1, 2012 Hi Lucky Not sure if this is the right thread about the Fake Tweets a confused dude was sending out during Sandy. We heard CNN repeating some of his misinformation, and then corrected themselves 1/2 hr later. http://mashable.com/2012/10/30/sandy-fake-news-apology/ I don't understand the interweb but "Twit tweets BS"Hope you bud is OK.R.

iluvtofly 0 #37 November 1, 2012 I'm sorry you're so worried. But try to remember this, most of that area doesn't have any power whatsoever. At least you've heard from him once. Hold onto that positivity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Hey Lucky ~ AS someone that was cut off like that for 10 days, I can assure you he's most likely stressing too. Sometimes you just can't get through and it becomes more & more frustrating/stressful the more you try...you got word he's OK, you'll have to go on that until you hear more. I'm sure he has a lot on his plate right now and it can get overwhelming. Personally I just put the phone etc. away after two days of trying and just focused on putting the house back together. I know it's rough but hang in there...wife & I had quite a laugh following things returning to 'normal' after Ike hit down here ~ literally hundreds of texts from the week prior finally came pouring through. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites LuckyMcSwervy 0 #39 November 2, 2012 Quote Hi Lucky Not sure if this is the right thread about the Fake Tweets a confused dude was sending out during Sandy.
