I mean, just the backlash from the outer parts of this storm are way too powerful. This is my first full fledged hurricane and I'm having a hard time staying calm. This is just horrifying.

Yes,it's scary. Remain calm,if possible and keep yourself busy.
You are in for a long night.

There is a reason for hurricane parties.

Playing cards and drinking goes a long way in getting through it.

Be safe,stay inside.

Yep, us Pennsylvanians have a long long long night ahead of us. No light flickering here yet but the wind is just awful. And I really am terrified to know this is only the beginning. That within only a few hours we'll be in the worst of it and it'll be ten times worse than this or more. I really hope all that are closer to the coast actually evacuated instead of being dumb. The tv keeps going in and out as I try to watch news coverage so I assume the power will be gone not long after. Time to charge my phone again one last time even though I just took it off of the charger about an hour ago. Can't be too careful.

There are a bunch. Just google Live Stream hurricane Sandy

The streaming video from the Statue of Liberty sucks, but the audio alone is worth it.

Also note the camera shake.

Lots of debris going down the street here. Fences and trash and just...random wood I guess...? The wind is back on a strengthening flow. I came upstairs for a little bit (to light hookah coals since I have power) and it's definitely a lot worse than the last time I posted.

Lights are flickering now.

The live stream from the Statue of Liberty just stopped. Don't know if that's normal or not. I push "play" but nothing happens.

It's back on now. It looks like the rain may have let up a little in NY but it's still very windy in the harbor.

General Tips on Pet Protection During the Hurricane
-Bring pets inside -large animals see below-

-Travel cages handy for evacuations as well as;

-Identification-collars, tags, pictures of your pet/s on hand in case they are lost.

-At least 3 days worth of food, water, litter, newspaper/pads,...as well as your pets medication if needed, etc.

-Emergency shelter/hotels that are pet friendly, veterinary lists on hand.

-Pet first aid handbook/ first aid kit.

I can not even imagine how something like this impacts me if it would happen the part of the world were I live.But does it have two kind of feelings,like excitement and fear at the same time? Ill hope nobody gets hurt. It sometimes looks if the hurricanes are getting more heavier every year in the US ?

been in the uk i hardly heard a thing about Hurricane Katrina but this time with weeks away from a election its allover the news and hyped the high hell. tbh they struggling live upto the hype atm.

guess what im saying its nice timing for a election for it get this hyped

but ofcores for all them involved keep safe while it happens

Some outages in my area... lights have flickered a few times. I'm hunkered down in the basement with a bottle of wine. Expecting power to be out by morning. The wind gusts are extremely strong and are only supposed to get stronger.

Looks like most of these locations still have power, with the exception of maybe Wall Street - all I see are police lights.

The Harbor Cam was shaking pretty bad 5 minutes ago when I looked... maybe it couldn't take the wind anymore... definitely a strong storm...

Get your phone fully charged. Turn it off, but turn it on every 30 minutes or so to check for messages and what not. Conserve your battery. A lot of the big stores offer AA battery cell phone chargers that don't need an outlet. Grab that stuff if it's not too late.

Why are you people anywhere near this thing ? you should have left yesterday .

I wold have been on the west coast by now

The national hurricaine center has downgraded Sandy to a post tropical cyclone.

It appears the Hurricaine has merged with the classic Nor'easter and has lost it's tropical characteristics, meaning the core has moved from warm air to cold air.

She'll still pack wind and rain

This is the East Coast. Evacuations aren't so simple.

Good news.

And with all the starbucks locations in NYC closed, evacuation becomes impossible! No caffeine, no evac.

You know it's serious when New York is in caffeine withdrawal.
