[ReMiXeDg]

Hi all, I would like to make this thread to see and read about all the discussions about the Hurrican that is happening this week end on the east cost of the unites states land...

I live in New York , staying with my sister and helping her in her house for the week end, Were prepaird the best we can be and we are by coney island. They say the hurrican will hit NY the hardest and we'll get the worst @ a level 2 rating. The eye will pass right by us.

I live in the DC area. We won't get hit by it too much but I'm worried a bit about the NYC area. They haven't had this type of a powerful hurricane in over 50 years.

Being in the UK I'm more observing the news. I know NYC is in danger, I would get out of there if I was going to get hit by a hurricane...

Is everything ok with where you are now?

Hopefully you are ok. I am currently in Portugal and heard about it. We got our local papers and the headline was "Phew York" and it said it wasn't as bad as expected. However you probably haven't responded yet due to no electricity?

It was pretty much just another thunderstorm with a power outage.
