Hurricane Central

[Pinot's Mom]

Thank y'all for the concern - much appreciated. At this moment nothing (and I mean NOTHING) is happening. I just got off the phone with my brother in Connecticut and this may sound strange; we were raised in RI and have been through our share of storms (on and off the water). Both of us said the same thing. This one's not raising the hair on the back of my neck. Maybe we're both wrong, hope not. I'm sure there will be plenty of wind and rain, but I think we'll be fine.

I hope you all will be safe! It's sounds like it could do quite a bit of damage. All flights from Denmark to New York have been cancelled.

Watching the news on hurricane Sandy over here. Looks so scary, hope everyone will be safe!

Flights from Germany to the East Coast have been cancelled also.

You're right Maggie - been thru a lot worse storms growing up in RI. What concerns me about this one, is the length of time it will be hanging around. It rained off and on all day yesterday, then settled in for continuous rain late yesterday afternoon. The whole state of DE is basically shut down at this point. Oh joy - no school for grandson and son and DIL's businesses are closed. It's gonna be a loooooong day and most likely tomorrow too. At least I hope the power stays on, but I'm not betting on that one, since it has already flickered off and then back on a couple of times this a.m.

To those in the path of Sandy, I hope that everybody is ready and will be safe too!
I am watching and listening to all the news I can find about this storm, and am crossing my fingers for all of you!!
This is in my prayers now:"Please let everybody be safe, humans and pets"
Take care dear PT-ers who are in the path of horrible Sandy....

Found some scary pictures on Facebook.

1st one is in Brigantine, NJ. The other, I am not sure of.

Right now all the birds have fled to the relative safety of the hedges, when the winds die down a bit they come back for the seed I threw out. The wind had been gusting so hard at times, the little squirrel I can Nathaniel was blow a couple inches sideway in his foraging efforts. It is pouring rain as well, the gutter looks like a faucet some set to be wide open!

We're still hangin in with no real damage as yet, but the worst is still not going to get here till tonight. We are very windblown and rain soaked. The front yard next door is under water and is spilling over into our side yard, and the landscaping timbers that edged his driveway are floating all around his yard - the drainage ditch by the road is overflowing into our front yard - but all petty compared to what's going on right along the shore. Fortunately no trees down right here yet, just some branches - and we still have power.

Poor little Myndi was really agitated and antsy this morning - it's so strange how animals can sense events like this without even going out of the house. She wouldn't even eat her breakfast, but finally settled down around lunchtime. I held her on my lap most of the morning, so I think that calmed her. Of course she doesn't appreciate having to go outside in this storm to go potty - just as I don't think too fondly of the thought of going out in this mess either. Grandson has been appointed Chief of Myndi Potty Patrol! I ain't no dummy.....

Rainy days ahead and high winds Tuesday for NE Ohio! I hope everyone in the storms path is prepared to stay safe!

Same here in Butler, Pa. too, Chocolatepuppy. A lot of rain so far, but the winds haven't really picked up yet. However they should be picking a little later tonight.

Is that in your neighborhood??
