I hope they post soon!
Yes ma'am, I believe they have not been on since the storm!
-
you're very kind!
I just got power back.
Towns next to me got water up to their 2nd fl.
so I'm lucky I only got minor damage. roof fix, minor ground damage.
I heard over 55 people died from drowning in nj.
roads are not passable. so I'm still stuck here.
I drove by Newark and I saw evidence of floating electronics - after the water dried.
oh, yeah, that refrigerator...
-
so where does cjd live?
-
What caused the flood - was it high waves from the ocean ?

Around us, I guess it depends on where someone lives. But not only was it high tide from the full moon that night, but also from the hurricane. Where I live, the East River is right by me. So I was able to see the tides really rise many feet high and even cause the Con Ed building explode and the rest of lower manhattan losing electricity. By the next morning we saw cars on top of each other with vending machines where they shouldn't be...as well as debris and dead fish.

I'm just happy I'm not in Atlantic City

Hi, just checking in here...
Has anyone heard from Lisa or Mord????
gosh, this is just tragic...I've been seeing scenes from Jersey Shore, Queens, etc...just horrible. :o
-
you're very kind!
I just got power back.
Welcome back to the forum! I'm happy to know you're ok.
-
I hope they're ok and I hope they do post again soon.
-
Thanks for the concern.
Power may be out for Lisa and Mord. It is out for CJD. Power and cell service.
The Saturday before the storm CJD fell off a ladder. He is pretty banged up. He has several stitches on his head a boken clavicle and an abdominal hematoma. Two trees fell.,..one on CJDs house. One on my Mom's. Since Sunday I have been at my Mom's hospital bed. SHE had major emergent surgery and is very ill. I missed the hurricane in a way. Still it has been a terrible time for our family. Your prayers for my Mom and CJD would be much appreciated. Thank you for thinking of us.

Baruch Hashem everyone is healthy and things are moving back towards normalcy. I just tried calling my mom and they weren't home, but I spoke with them on Tuesday and they said they weathered the storm just fine...
-
OH Bullcat Im so sorry to hear about cjd and your mother, Ill certainly pray for them.
-
Thank You Lisa.
I hope things were okay for you and your family.

thats very sad. from bad to worst for cjd.
keep us updated.
-
I find it super hard to post using my Kiindle, so I will say thanks to all. Sincerely.
CJD had the trees removed. He is still feeling pretty banged up. STILL NO LIGHTS. :(
-
Bullcat, I'm very sorry about what you and your family are going through. I hope and pray that your Mom and Brother make plenty of progress in their recoveries each day.
-
I still have no power in my house. I'm only there to sleep (with many many layers of clothing.) Otherwise, I've been staying at my aunt's place during the day when I'm not working, since she has power.
Anyway, I'm safe at least. It just feels like I'm living in a Third World country.

Yes I was in the same situation when Hurricane Ike hit us.

My prayers go out to all of you who were so badly effected by this storm. To me, it's like Katrina all over -- plus a tsunami. A friend in Long Beach, Long Island, New York, who lives 4 blocks from the ocean, had water come right into her house like it was a tsunami. Parts of Staten Island remind me of the Ninth Ward of New Orleans after Katrina. The devastation is just so widespread and so bad. May Hashem protect each and every one of you and keep you safe.
-
Hang on everyone who is affected by this storm. There will be supplies and provisions coming. Many organizations {some of which I contribute to} are putting together relief efforts to help those afflicted by Sandy.
Lisa, it sounds miserable having a house with no electricity. May the power soon be restored and your life return to normalcy.

Chabad-Lubavitch Hassidim are determined -- in fact, generally unstoppable -- once they are on "a mission from G-d."
Hurricane relief is part of the deal; this time, they are organizing volunteers to help those who were hard hit by Hurricane Sandy in New York City.
It's another day on the road for Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries. Never mind that their homes were hit too.
A bus load of NYC Chabad Midtown Manhattan young professionals is set to head out Sunday to help with relief efforts in Long Island.
The volunteers planned to help people with clearing the sand and other waterlogged debris that was swept into their homes by Hurricane Sandy last week. Other teams on the bus will be tasked with distributing supplies such as batteries, socks, warm food and other essentials. A third set of volunteers planned to set up a soup kitchen where people can gather for warm meals in the disaster zone.
A similar bus load of Chabad-Lubavitch volunteers was also scheduled to set out from the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn to provide similar relief to their neighbors living in the much harder-hit areas of their borough.

I will surely pray for you're Mother and CJD

I pray for Bullcat's Mother and CJD.

My heartfelt thanks to the members who were concerned I was not around... I got hurt a few days before the storm but should be ok with a little rest and relaxation... About half way through the wind storm we had here a few of the old Black Oak trees on my property decided to give up the ghost and fall where I never though they would... One landed on the front roof of my house... On Friday a tree company came with a large crane and removed the tree from my front roof... Thank G-d the tree only seems to have done superficial damage that I can repair when I am better... My mom is also home from the hospital and trying to recover... We are still on standby power so please pray that the power company gets us back on line before our fuel supply runs out in a few more days... All and all I consider myself lucky because a few people I know have lost their homes to the flood waters which in my opinion is a far worse situation... Thank G-d flooding was the last of the problems I could have here.
-
Thanks for updating us CJD! I'm so glad to know that God was protecting you.
Has anyone heard from MasterWolf? I thought he lived around that area too but I'm not sure.
-
Glad everyone has been found and safe. Now lets get through the next few days..... hopefully with a new president.

Thank G-d you're okay! I was worried about you! I'll continue praying for your mother.

MasterWolf posts regularly on Facebook. He's quite fired up about the upcoming election. I'm sure he's doing fine despite the hurricane.
-
I'm so thankful for all of you whom are ok...i was really worried. Watching the news didn't help either...well, I pray everyone recovers from this quickly and gets everything that they need and everyone helps each other out too....they aired the other night about a family on the Jersey shore who's house started flooding and then it caught on fire after other houses were on fire. They all got away by getting ahold of a surfboard and swimming away with that...and the family dog on there too....!!! Very lucky to be alive...but all together. wow.

Thank you. I know he really cares about defeating Obama so I hope he gets a chance to vote.

He's back!
Damn trees!

Lisa, I hope you get power back soon. I'm glad you have a warm place to be during the day, when you are not working. My prayers are with you and your family.
-
Thank you Bullcat.
Cjd, I'm glad you're OK. Please try and rest up as much as you can. And I'll continue praying for your mother.
-
Thank You, Lisa.
Thanks for everyone's concern.
Thank you for thinking of us, Ephraim.
-
My prayers are with you and your family. I am very sorry that you are going through such difficult times.

Thanks again for everyone's concern... The power was restored late yesterday afternoon... We had one days worth of fuel left for the backup generator so that worked out very well... The fuel that was dedicated to that can now go to keeping us off the gas lines for a while should this gas shortage nonsense continue... My hat is off to the LIPA power company who honestly did a very good job here getting the power back up... The power line system here was put in back in the early 1930's and has been extended on over the years in a hodgepodge way...I am always amazed how well the LIPA crews are able to get it back into shape after large storms like Sandy... Anyway I have to get ready for the most important task of the next 4 years which is casting a vote against the shvartza administration and party in general... After that I can come home and watch the election day coverage.
-
Now, I'm getting sick.
I guess it serves me right for sleeping in my sister's cold house for the past week and not going someplace else.
