It's strange to be home on a week night but here I am! Sandy shut me down. I got a call about an hour and a half before I normally hit the road. Dispatch said the wharehouse floated away! Well not really I guess the powers out, that means I sit at home and wait (with out pay) hope they get it up and running soon.
'Anyone else effected by this storm yet?

I know every driver coming through Connecticut was affected. They shut all the highways down to all vehicles today.

Down here in VA it's ugly. Lots of high winds, rain and snow. Couple of truckers trying to get home to Jersey are staying at the same hotel my wife is up near DC. They are holding out hope they can get home tomorrow.......fat chance at that. The brunt is just moving in here as I type this and it's not moving very quickly. We're getting waylaid. I see out Malaki's way they are calling for about 3 ft of snow from this.

I'm on the far Northwest outpost, and we're getting 45 mph gusts, which are blowing all my neighbors leaves... over into MY yard!

Well morning is here and everything looks good other than a dreary and cold day ahead. Kept power but West of me at the foot of the mountains got hammered pretty badly, of the 15K out of power with my power company, all but about 300 are over by the mountains. Thankfully Sandy didn't hit about 2 months ago or it would be a whole lot worse. Most of the trees have already dropped the majority of their leaves so the trees did not have those additional mini parachutes catching the winds.

How about NYC, city blocks destroyed by a blaze that firefighters were trying to battle with chest deep water.

Also sad to hear of the ship that sunk off the coast of NC during the storm yesterday morning. It was a floating classroom with 15-16 on board, looks like only the Captain was lost. They were trying to skirt the storm on their way to Florida only to end up right in the middle of it at 90 some miles east-southeast of Hatteras.

yeah thats what i get for being a "good" person. i could have parked on the other side where the cars were but didnt want to block parking... so i parked on an angle all night... now went to my delivery.. there is powerlines/trees in the road to get to the place. i was talking to someone who lived on the street "yeah.. should be cleaned up in 2... maybe 3 days? ". so much for doing FEMA work when i get home!

and if anyone is wondering.. all bridges to NYC are closed.

It is a shame about the Bounty going down. Kind of reminds me of that movie A Perfect Storm,: they didn't get far enough out to get around the storm.
