Well NYC is now completely shut down. The winds are really starting to blow here now too and the storm is still a couple hundred miles away. Tonight when the storm really comes in right around high tide time it's going to be really bad around here. Should be interesting. Let's hope it's not that bad.
I can't wait until Sandy is done and we can go Cars hunting again.

The low lying areas of NYC and NJ among other places are devastated. We received record storm surge. I live 9 blocks from the beach. Some of my block was inundated. By the Grace of God the water went over my sidewalk , halfway up my front yard grass and stopped right there. A few more inches and my basement would have started filling up. I can not thank God enough right now.
However all the blocks below I cannot begin to describe. The water came up over 10 feet in many peoples houses. Some small houses by the beach imploded. There are people stranded on their second floors everywhere. The whole neighborhood is blacked out down there. There are thousands blacked out all over. The rescuers can’t get to them all. God bless those people.
I witnessed people who literally had to swim from their homes. I saw others being recued by boat. The water came fast they say. I feel so sad for all the people. This has to be the worst storm in NYC history.
Tomorrow when the sun comes up I can only imagine what it will look like. Thee have been a ton of trees down and fires caused by downed electrical lines as well. It’s going to be a long haul ahead.

My local TRU is one of the few areas that have power around here today for the first time. However no deliveries yet due to the storm. I sure hope things get back to semi normal soon. I miss Cars hunting but unfortunely right now I live in what's like a war torn 3rd world country so it's going to take awhile. The mayor says power should be restored within 7 to 10 days. Right now it's hard enough just to get gas or a cup of coffee.
