Hurricane Watch: Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy.

That collapsed crane will cause some major damage when it falls. It is hanging at 1000ft.

Battery Park City is now essentially an island.

 

[Slash]

Surprisingly I still have power, but it's extremely windy and it's raining pretty hard.

I haven't even flickered

Let's just hope you're right about 9PM when winds die down, getting crazy near me. Keep safe everyone.

Its after 9 here and its getting worse.

Battery Park City is now essentially an island.

Oh my.

Yeah I flickered once here. The wind is picking up...

 

[XS]

Just had the kind of gust hit the house that leaves you a little speechless, thinking, "dang I hope that doesn't happen again." Best wishes.

More updates:
NY Stock Exchange floor is under 3 ft of water (was to be closed tomorrow anyways).

MTA reports that subways may be down for 4 days, and could be longer.

Two children killed in North Salem (Westchester County, about 20-30 miles north of NYC). Children were on first floor praying when 3 ft diameter tree crashed into their house, killing them instantly.

There are pictures of water gushing into the subway. It is like a movie. Almost surreal. And the power is out in lower Manhattan.

It's because the pumps are super old and outdated. Some of them were even bought off the people who built the Panama Canal after it was constructed. If the subways completely flood they'll be down and out for a while.

My lights have been flickering quite often. Wind is picking up but it's still not to bad.

 

[Dennisch]

The CNN reporter in Atlantic city is now in waist deep water.

But sjeez, so much water, and more to come.

Sad yes, but also really ironic.

I've said it before on this thread but my beach house is in Atlantic City

At home we are expecting the worst of the winds to be here within the hour or so. Still no power outage but the winds are at the least, gusting to 55mph.

Thats terrible

Sad yes, but also really ironic.

Agreed


Apparently more than 2 million are without power

 

[Doodle]

Oh my

 

[Dennisch]

Apparently they are expecting another surge coming from the north.

Hmmm.


And the reporter in Battery Park just announced that the water level is dropping. So that is good.

 

[Slash]

Obama is telling people to get the hell out or its going to kill you

 

[ghskilla]

Wish you all in the east good luck. I've just heard that there are about 5 storm-related deaths in New York right now.

 

[Slash]

^^That number has risen to 9, 2 in New Jersey according to CNN

EDIT



The water peaked at 13.88 feet in Battery park city over the previous record of 10.5ish.

3 million without power now

That will be blizzard conditions there. One of the things that nobody will really touch on.

Amidst all the tragedies happening on the East Coast, there is something that still remains.

Brett Hyde, Tomb Sentinel, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), keeping guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during Hurricane Sandy, at Arlington National Cemetery, Va., Monday, Oct. 29, 2012.

Here in N.E. Ohio, been raining hard all day and windy as all get out. Just got a phone alert that we are under a flood watch until 8:00pm EDT Tuesday, and a high wind warning in effect until 4:00pm EDT Tuesday. Certainly not as bad as what the coastline is getting though.

Hang in there East Coast. 👍

 

[ghskilla]

Damn, compare 0:00 to 1:25 in the video of the ConEd explosion.
