I'm happy to see people checking in.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Looks like the eye of the storm wants to go to Columbus, Ohio next.
That's ridiculously far inland. Actually, the Midwest doesn't even count as "inland" at this point. It's just ridiculous.
Glad to see everyone checking in!

I still have power. Shockers.
But the cabinet above the stove came down last night. Bad hanging job, too much catfood, probably too much cat. Not at all storm related. It's still on the wall due to tight fit and jammed against a lid. So.
I put out a plea for strong arms because I can't hold it in place AND screw it back up.
And the FUCKING CATS keep trying to climb up in it!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Looks like no one in my department lost power, but our VP did.

It's also the first time a hurricane eye has come ashore in NJ since 1821, which is quite a record in itself.

My sil posted on facebook that in Baltimore she and my brother have power and are safe and dry and that my niece - who is in lower Manhattan has no power but is, so far, safe.
I am very relieved.
Now I need to hear from my PA and upstate NY folks.
I also have cousins in south Jersey. I'm worried about them but not usually in touch with them.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Our power is still back up, and we don't seem to have any damage. Our cable is actually working, which is shocking. It usually goes out if there is any rain at all. TCG doesn't have to be at work until noon.
Kat, how awful. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to evacuate a NICU.

I'm guessing my NJ and PA peeps are w/o power too:
Atlantic City Electric, which serves the biggest portion of South Jersey - from Gloucester County to Long Beach Island - was reporting about 188,000 outages this morning, with about 77,000 in Atlantic County, 53,000 in Ocean County.
Indeed, much of South Jersey took on an eerie feel early with large swaths of towns darkened. Streets were littered with downed trees, branches and utility lines. Many roads were closed. Street lights were out at various major intersections.
In southeastern Pa., the majority of the outages were in Bucks and Montgomery Counties. In Bucks, 185,000 were without power, 175,000 in Montgomery County, 86,000 in Delaware County, 74,000 in Chester County and 65,000 in Philadelphia.
They are in (respectively) Gloucester and Chester counties.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Jesus.
I just saw a tweet that said Sandy has "killed more than a dozen people." You mean in addition to the 50+ in Haiti, more elsewhere in the Caribbean, right?
