Weather predictions for snoreastercane 2012

[redsoxsstink]

Since our predictions are about as accurate as the weather man's, what do you think will happen in the coming days. I think it's gonna be a bust and be just another rainy Monday. Though if the storm hits our town will definitely lose power for a good chunk of time. When Irene hit we lost it for 12 days.

So what's your prediction and what are you doing if anything to prep

[maroman88]

were guna get ****ed up

[88WS-6]

It's supposed to be 10 times worse than Irene. I predict no Halloween.

[grazi]

were guna get ****ed up

X2........

[Blackbirdws6]

Some rain and wind. We will be fine.

[OG]

Ughhhhh... I can't do another week without power like last Halloween!

They're calling this the prefect storm.

[The_Bishop]

Guess I better go fill the gas cans. *sigh*

[WayFast84]

I'm thinking about buying a generator, Anyone have experience with ones from harbor freight?

[BonzoHansen]

Locusts

[sweetbmxrider]

Some of you watch the news too much :rofl:

I predict some good surf mid week

[OG]

[LTb1ow]

Huge storm would be cool. Maybe I can get as luck as Arock and have a tree fall on my camaro.

[TaKid455]

Some rain and wind. We will be fine.

agreed. Hyped storms usually fail to meet expectations. Will say that this one has a few factors in its favor.

[WildBillyT]

Raining Frogs.

[chrisfrom nj]

im going to put the plow on my truck get the snow blower ready just incase we get another oct snow storm get a pump ready just incase my basement floods again

[SRGN]

About all that will probably happen is a few random power outages and the price of gas going up 25 cents a gallon for the next few days.

I was already given a heads up to possibly be called in.... Nj national guard. fml .

[MyFirstZ]

I'm going to charge my phone and lap top lol

Can't wait for a long weekend. Hopefully it won't take out a lane of 287 this time

[donnj]

and now a word from our sponsor....

G1PmvLjiwKY

[elle]

Generator sales have been great!

[townsend]

last time i lost a week of work since they literally closed the town of fairfield. really cannot afford that now. also, i sold the backhoe so if the driveway gets washed out again i guess the camaro and nova become museum pieces in my garage.

[grazi]

and now a word from our sponsor....

WTF?? Is that RickyD13??

[BonzoHansen]

huh

[BigAls87Z28]

I'm out of flashlights, generators, running low on batteries, gas cans, and power inverters.

There was an emergency conference call today talking about a late Sunday shipment of generators and other supplies, but now it's up in the air. Last thing we need after a storm is a bunch of generators returned.

[69RSZ]

Just make sure you got BEER and everything else will be OK!!

[OG]

You only gotta worry about keeping it cold if the power goes out

[rickyd13]

sorry if i did that id be laying at the bottom on the wall with a mean ass headache

[B4C]

Just put the car into storage at my buddies shop for the week just incase.

[ted gerlach]

last heavy rain storm i got 7 inch of water in a car totaling it out,,, no flood insurance so i was beat, almost 4 feet of water in the street, so i got to make some calls to see if i can find a place to park a car on a trailer as well as the 24 foot inclosed trailer, also going to call a storage place and rent a storage unit to put the silverado ss inside, then fill it up later with stuff from the garage since i got in trouble with the town for having a mobile attic in the driveway.. anywhere on property with out a permit,, total bs.

[Mike]

Downgraded to a tropical storm

[LTb1ow]

Just want it to snow

[BonzoHansen]

Downgraded to a tropical storm

right on target then.

edit: nope, the map refreshed! this morning it showed it being a TS until it was just west of us then back to H1 winds

[BonzoHansen]

either way it's the rain is the problem. i just tied down the outside. now to get the basement rain ready. 8-10" of ran is no joke

[OG]

changed it back to hurricane

[The_Bishop]

You jersey shore types better pepper your anguses.

Stay high and dry, folks. Official state of emergency in NJ.

I've got to fill my gas cans tomorrow when I get home from work, other than that I'm good.

[LTb1ow]

Shop rite by me was out of water, soup and assorted other "emergency" rations.

Good thing the liquor store was devoid of people and full of tasty stuff.

[enRo]

:werd: ^^^

Shop-Rite & Super Wal-Mart was something like... Black Friday today. The Shop-Rite by me was also out of canned goods. Savages. I saw a fluffy woman with nothing but about 2 dozen bags of extra puffed marshmallows in her cart, thats no lie. :lol:

I caught the tail end of the hurricane when I was in San Juan PR on Thursday. Nothing spectacular. Then flying above the hurricane... that was pretty cool.

[L695speed]

My Mom was saying the same thing, everything was gone at the Shop Rite. Including fresh fruit and veggies....(they're gonna go bad anyway if we lose power....morons), we have some liquor, but no beer, I'm broke enough as it is, so not buying beer just for the storm. Also I filled up the gallon can with 2 stroke oil and gas, so we can cut ourselves out if needed. Filled up the GTA and Outback while I was at it. I was informed by one of the guys pumping gas, that people were literally fighting over the pumps, not long before I got there.....what is wrong with people, its a hurricane, not the apocalypse....

[bigz28man]

My pd will be at full man power, so I'll be in thick of it. Good luck guys and be safe out there.

[98tadriver]

It's gonna get messy

[V]

I got my truck loaded up with my chainsaws, I'm set to go just about anywhere.

My biggest concern is loss of power at one house where there is a sump pump. Ill probably be there every few hours checking on it.

[coolmanvette75]

While NJ turns into the next Atlantis, I'll be laying out on the beach here and enjoying some 80-90 degree weather :)

Srs though everyone please be safe and dont go out during the storm if you can help it. And if you see a red LT1 camaro floating down the street please call me :rofl:

LT1 boat anchor jokes ... even after 15 years they are still funny .... :roll:

As for this storm, I'm really thinking the media is just over hyping it. When Irene came through last year, we lost power for a day and that was about it.

[V]

people are comparing this to the Halloween storm we had last year and the long widespread power outages many areas had afterwards.

However, this is NOT like that storm in most ways, one being that its not heavy wet snow and 2, the trees last year still had the majority of their leaves and only a few had turned and fallen. Tonight, when the winds come, it'll strip most of the remaining leaves off the trees and then the bare branches wont have as much stress on them, like they would with heavy snow or even like in a summer thunderstorm.

There may be flooding in low lying areas but that's already expected.

[OG]

at my house i'd say 90% of the leaves are down. if you go up the street though where it's not as windy there's only 60% down. it all depends on where you are and the types of trees you have.

But yea V is right. I cant imagine this storm being nearly as bad as last years. but then again wtf do i know :shrug:

[PolarBear]

I think another thing we have in our favor (at least for me) is that the ground is pretty dry. I checked my sump pump well and it was dry, i poured some water in there to make sure the pump was still working. Good thing I checked, the GFCI was tripped :shock: when I checked a little while later the rest of the water that was in there the pump cant get out was gone. I have a high water table where I am, so this is good news for me, a least the ground will be able to hold a lot of the water we are expected to get

[donnj]

15 to 2O ft. surge to hit Asbury park tomorrow night. Safety takes minutes, accidents take seconds. Becareful everyone...

[The_Bishop]

Stay safe, Jersey Shore folks.

[WayFast84]

From the pics I've seen it's already pretty bad down the shore. Good luck everyone.

[SRGN]

Big difference between this and Irene is that the leaves are coming down to clog up storm drains. I remember that being a problem during Floyd. I'm not that worried, family is going to be home with me and the cars I worried about are high and dry.

[sweetbmxrider]

Nothing is happening. Except everyone is retarded.

[The_Bishop]

Well, that and all the wind and rain and flooding. Otherwise, nothing going on.

:bertstare:

[NJ Torque]

Work is called off for me...

[sweetbmxrider]

Well, that and all the wind and rain and flooding. Otherwise, nothing going on.

:bertstare:

Its dry in front of the house, a little breezy, and not a single kayak in the street.

[V]

We should start a thread in the multimedia section with all pictures of what is (or isn't) going on throughout this storm, lol.

[sweetbmxrider]

I don't have a camera with me, le fail.

[mc73nova]

Absolutely nothing happening in Little Falls! Not even a mist yet and somehow everyone in the house, except me, had work cancelled for tomorrow!

[Featherburner]

I've been wrenching in the garage all afternoon and evening. It's been nice out. I still have the the door up and there is just a nice breeze!

[BonzoHansen]

you guys sound disappointed your houses aren't flooded before the storm even gets here. Huh.

[The_Bishop]

Give it a few hours, then we'll get the posts about how to dry out a wet car. :laugh:

[WildBillyT]

you guys sound disappointed your houses aren't flooded before the storm even gets here. Huh.

Apparently nobody else realizes the big deal is tomorrow night, not right now.

[greenformula92]

I evacuated. The trans am left behind as I couldn't drive two at the same time. I hope all is well. If some one is in my area just keep an eye on the bay and keep me in the loop so I know what to be prepped for when I return home

[LTb1ow]

you guys sound disappointed your houses aren't flooded before the storm even gets here. Huh.

I blame the news. I am expecting excessive doom and gloom so I want them now. Right meow.

Think I am off tomorrow, so should be fun sitting around doing nothing.

[BonzoHansen]

Apparently you didn't listen to the aforementioned news lol

[LTb1ow]

I stopped watching round 10am this morning, I just want some snow. And for teh boat to sink.

[PolarBear]

I just want some snow.

YES! :nod:

[Blackbirdws6]

Shush with the snow. Wind is gusting pretty signficantly, little bit of rain. My wheel barrel blew over :shock:.

[TaKid455]

traffic is thin thus a speedy commute!

[The_Bishop]

Getting fairly windy here. At least most of the leaves are off the trees, so that *should* help. Generator is on standby, and I've got 20 gallons of gas in the shed. Hoping I don't need it!

[BonzoHansen]

Getting fairly windy here. At least most of the leaves are off the trees, so that *should* help. unless they are all in the rain gutters and drains!

Well sea bright has started to sink, things are getting serious.

[The_Bishop]

Dealt with this yesterday; gutters clean, gutter guards firmly in place so they won't pack with leaves.

I might have to tie my carport tent down to my truck soon, wind is getting sketchy and supposed to get worse.

Beach is down to maybe 20ft of sand before the boardwalk, and the major part of teh storm has yet to hit.

Dis gun b good

[The_Bishop]

So I just got done strapping my carport tent down to my truck, figuring that 2+ tons of truck should hold it down and in place.

I'm really hoping that I didn't just create the worlds biggest Chevy kite.

[V]

I went for a drive this morning. Not many people out and other than a stiff breeze, it is kinda nice out. I know the main part isn't here yet, but I really doubt that northern NJ is gonna get hit as hard as the south will.

Just be careful the car port doesn't get loose and play pinball with your truck under it in the wind.

[The_Bishop]

I'm keeping my eye on it. If I get too worried, I'll cut the straps and wave goodbye to it but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that.

The legs are staked down with 2 foot long metal pegs, and now I have ratchet straps tying the frame of it down to the tow points on the front of the truck and to my warn recovery shackle in the rear hitch. I was mostly concerned with it lifting off the ground, but I don't think that'll happen now.

[Jersey Mike]

I work over in Staten Island & while we didn't have off this morning, our office closed shortly after noon. Parts of Staten Island nearest the water were being evacuated, as emergency crews would not be responding to calls if winds exceeded 60mph. NYC is taking things very seriously, a few highways, bridges & tunnels were already closed, or scheduled to close at 2pm. We got out, before getting stuck there.

The ride home to North Jersey wasn't too bad at all. Nearly no one on the roads, and except for a "stiff wind," as V put it, it was very manageable.

I really hope nothing happens to the cars or house.

[donnj]

GSP from Driscoll Bridge south will be closed

[greenformula92]

Winds are really picking up in brick. Sirens like crazy. Hope the GTA survives in waretown

Ditto here, had one branch 3-5 inches thick break and land on the driveway. A few other smaller branches snapped but are still caught in the trees. Small twigs and branches are whipping around and hitting the house. Already lost power once, got it back, don't know for how long.

[WayFast84]

I've been listening to the Edison EMS and fire radio and they are staying pretty busy. A couple transformers blew and tons of trees are down on the roads.

[coolmanvette75]

Just called back to my family in NJ. So far my house is without heat and power. Also a tree took out my PVC fence and is about to fall on my pool. Cover keeps flying off my Camaro but the anti theft cord on the bottom is keeping it from blowing away...

Methinks it may have been a better idea to keep the cover off of it?

[LTb1ow]

Water lines are already past the morning high tide and we got like 3 hours till next high tide.

Oh noez.

[The_Bishop]

FAK! Power went out, so I set up the generator. 20 minutes later, big ass maple tree in front of my house splits in half, drops down and takes out my power lines and the cable. DAMMIT!

Got my mobile broadband set up with a USB wireless adapter, so I have *some* internetz.

[V]

I went to the food store about an hour ago, very peaceful.
Now I just baked cupcakes.

Watching TV and relaxing to the sound of the wind...

[rickyd13]

all fine in nutley most of the town is out including the houses across the street and behind me I'm just hearing the wind most I've got was a few flickers

[WayFast84]

The sky is lighting up here. Transformer after transformer. Lost power at 7 don't think I'll be getting it back on anytime soon. I actually wish I was in emergency services tonight. My friend is sitting in a cop car blocking route 1 traffic off.

[1320B4U]

Tree took out power to the neighborhood and brought the pole bringing wire to my house down to a 45degree angle..moved the truck to avoid bisquick status...setup cones to divert traffic away from down power lines then to my sha-grim, one line was about 3ft away from me





...and all this done w/out contact lenses in and -10 near-sightestness.

[The_Bishop]

Big ass tree down?

Check.

Cable wire snapped?

Check.

Power lines pulled down under the tree? Check.

Goddamnitsomuch.

[BonzoHansen]

The wind is not ****ing around right now

[deadtrend1]

We got directv so any small cloud overhead blocks the signal, so ive been lounging and watching 6abc all day (alicia vitarelli :drool:)

I did work this morning by pulling all the trucks inside and securing loose stuff outside ...

[The_Bishop]

Well, went outside to survey the damage. Looks like the house is OK. Got very lucky on that one. However, my cable wire is *gone* and the power lines are heavily damaged, with one of the three wires snapped. I also have probably a full cord of maple wood lying in my front yard to chainsaw up. Need this storm to be over so I can clean up already.

[Blackbirdws6]

He and adam attempted to make to my place but i think the scooby doo mobile sucked up some water and they hade to retreat back with adams jeep.

Last i hea4d they were waiting in a parking lot for water level to go down.

Looks like my house survived this last high tide, came within 4 ft or so of dumping down into the crawlspace. Neighbors have a few trees down, may be towing some out of driveways tmmr if the waters recide.

[coolmanvette75]

Man lower Manhattan is not looking good at all judging by the news clips. Just talked to my friend out in Masapequa and he said they are 5ft under right now. Hang in there everyone...

[LTb1ow]

From the reports from my dad, monmouth beach, seabright, and the highlands area took a lot of abuse and are devasted. If you wanted a boat, nows the time to snag one floating down a street.

[greenformula92]

Does anyone have any updates for the ware town/Lacey area

That sucks. I just came back from checking the baseball complex for damage. Traffic lights are out all over makes It stupid dangerous. My suggestion to all is stay off the roads if possible.

[JL8Jeff]

The whole shore area is gonna be a mess. The barrier islands all looked like they were overwhelmed with water let alone wind damage. Most of Ewing is without power, but I'm at work and it might be the only section of Ewing with power right now.

[BonzoHansen]

It was either come in to work or head out golfing since the course is empty! :lol:

You chose poorly

[The_Bishop]

Well, cleaned up a small fraction of the mess. Enough to assess any damage to the house from the tree landing somewhat on it.

Gutters are banged up a bit. Lost 1 shingle that I have, once it stops raining I'll get that back into place.

Couple of small divots in the shingles, not outright holes.

Got off cheap compared to some. The shore area is *devastated*.

[BonzoHansen]

Yes, the shore areas are devastated. Check out the facebook group JerseyShoreHurricaneNews, lots of pics. Towns like seaside will not be the same. If I'm off work again tomorrow I'll cruise to belmar to look

[Blackbirdws6]

Power is still out but no damage to the house. I am thankful. Hanging at a local friends place who amazingly still has power. Hope everyone else made it through relatively Ok.

This article says train cars were washed onto the turnpike! Yeah, over hyped storm I guess.

[WayFast84]

I heard about the train cars, Christie said every line has damage and its gonna be a a long time to fix the damage. NYC subways could take 4 days to pump the water out. That's from the time the power is back on.

I need to get my hands on a generator or 2 after this for sure.

Thankfully nothing as dramatic as train cars washed up in my front yard, however we lost power and just got it back today. sitting on the porch last night, having some shots with all the neighbors we got treated to a terrific and terrifying blast of 3-4 transformers all exploding within 5 minutes. mother of god :D

I'm thinking my inlaws place on LBI has to have damage but the Black Whale restaurant down the road is unscathed. Who knows? Also concerned about my dad's place near Gilford park!

[NastyEllEssWon]

so everyone here is ok and accounted for then? hopefully no one here suffered any huge damages or losses!

I forgot this thread was here. As I posted in the picture thread, I just got back from Toms River with my family. We went to check on our house and our cousins houses and it's sick how bad it is down there. We were unable to get close to our properties but from what we were told and shown by neighbors, all is lost. Houses, boats, jetskis, and everything inside the house and shed. A neighbor said he had 5 feet of water in his house at low tide, so we are expecting the same.

I was only able to get within 5-6 blocks of my house until the water was too deep to continue. My cousin has a neighbor that took pics before they left last night- they had water up to their countertops. Another person told us the water was up to the top of the street signs. My cousin's place is still under 3+ feet of water at 5pm, and what hurts the most is that we just finished remodeling the whole house. We took it all the way down to the floor beams less than a month ago.



Added stuff for you. :wink:

Is anyone else experiencing really bad cell service? First time I've been able to connect through my phone since the storm started... Seems like all AT&T users are experiencing issues

[The_Bishop]

Still no power here. Running on generator, but finding gasoline is kinda like a Mad Max experience. A lot of stations have no power, those that do are either out of gas or mobbed. Had to drive about 20 miles to fill two 5 gallon cans.

Things get bad enough I'll be siphoning the gas out of the Camaro.

Tomorrow my goal is to buy a generator. I'm heading north towards Albany and trying my luck along the way.

Up here in norther Bergen Co, Rockland Electric said 10 days to restore power to the majority and weeks to be back to what it was prior.

[madness410]

they do that on purpose...if they say it will be done in lets say 5 days and it takes them longer you get furious...if they say the same thing and get it done in 2 then they are heroes. trust me, they say abnormally long times so nobody gets that way.

last years storm they said 3 days. we were without power for 6.5 days... so i believe the 10 days.

thats part of my point though..they'll tell you 10 days or something outrageous and it realistically could be 6.5. they told people last storm 3 days, and it ended up being 6.5 so they were upset customers. if they hadnt said 3 days last year and said 10 instead and had it fixed in 6.5 people wouldnt be as pissed off.

Got an update from my family and next door neighbor (Sayreville police officer) this afternoon. As far as my place is concerned, we had 2 trees take out the fence, the roof of the shed is gone, and the plastic patio table that we placed on the side of the house ended up 15ft up my neighbor's tree, Thankfully the Camaro made it out with out any real damage. The bay got as close as the house behind mine's front yard so I really lucked out. According to my neighbor, he was teamed up with the state police and National Guard all night rescuing family's from houses in Old Bridge, Sayreville, Keyport, and South River that were trapped. Also a 12 story building in Keyport collapsed during the middle of the night last night. Thats really all I know so far that I haven't seem anyone else post in here already...
