Considering that I can no longer count on my power being up for long enough to compile several hourly updates to publish all at once....
~ ~ Monday, October 29, 2012 ~ ~
8:00pm – Sandy (*sandy* Fishnets *fishnets*) continues. As
of 8pm: 23mph winds with 32 mph gusts. It’s now 8:30pm and the power just
flickered on and off several times. Yikes. The outage map in my area is
starting to get a lot more colorful, but SO FAR my immediate vicinity has been
mostly spared. So far… Of course, if the recent flickering is any indication,
that may not last long. Sandy made landfall in the last hour, just south of
Atlantic City, NJ. My friend (who prompted me to write these storm updates) has
family there. His grandfather grew up in a coastal Jersey city that has
sustained severe damage because of Sandy. Parts of Atlantic City itself have
been flooded. For all of those who say that this storm was hyped up by
meteorologists and was no big deal, I challenge you to look the people of those
cities in the eye and say those words.
