babynoz said: Thnx...yeah I saw that on CNN too... Yeah they're worried about high tide tonight and the fact that it's a full moon will affect the levels... Winds starting to howl again, I guess it's time for round two ...

I don't know how a full moon would affect anything but I know they had predicted something about a high tide. It goes with the pressure of the cyclone. That pressure is creating that high tide.

Yeah, a full moon actually means higher tides. Strange but true.

Timmy84 said: Urgh. They did mention something about the white stuff but that if it did fall that it wouldn't stick since the ground is warm.

Snow, right? Yeah 4-8 inches were expected to fall in western NC, y'all may get more snow. I'm guessing because of the blizzard approaching the NE around this time that is helping the snow to come down here. It won't stick though. It had to be under 30 degrees to stick.

I just spoke to my cuz in W.VA. They're on the blizzard end of this monster.

Yeah I read West Virginia was gonna get hammered by this blizzard...

2.8 million without power so far...the NYSE is allegedly under three feet of water.

I wish they would get these reporters out of the water before somebody gets electrocuted or something,

That's what I don't get... I mean they act like they know all along how much was gonna be flooded yet they stay there for reporting?

Down here in hurricane central, (Florida) they're always sending some poor, junior reporter out into the muck,

I guess they're paying their dues.

I guess lol not shocked about 3 feet allegedly at the NYSE, it was supposed to bring some good flooding anyways. I wonder what was underwater in the NE during Irene.

I still got images of the wind bringing Al Roker down during Hurricane Wilma. And the Hurricane Katrina one with Geraldo. And then his freaking out during Hurricane Gustav: "THERE'S A MAN STRANDED GODDAMMIT!!!"

Sandy during its entire duration...

I tell ya....

48 hrs to go and another major squall is incoming. Anderson Cooper is out there now.

Low tide is approaching so that's a little relief.

Incredible footage of alleged explosion of ConEd plant in Manhattan at 14th and FDR--the explosion happens around 3:09. Half of NYC is without power.

...wow

It's almost 11pm here. Whew. So far we still have power where I am (upper west side), but lower Manhattan -- pretty much everything below 42nd street -- lost power. I stayed inside all day so I can't really say how bad it really is. All I know is between 6pm and maybe 9:30pm the wind was blowing like crazy and I was scared the tree behind our building was going to fall over.

I heard that The Battery (lower Manhattan) had 14' of water because of the surge. During Irene it was about 4!

My boss lives in the West Village and has no power plus the subways are still closed so I have tomorrow off from work as well.

Guess plant investigation and fixing will begin by Wednesday or something? Hope y'all still got power when the storm passes y'all over there.

Sending out prayers and good wishes to those of you in NYC and New Jersey. I hope Sandy moves out of there quickly and power gets restored soon.

But the major concern now is inland, because the remnants of Sandy are expected to move slowly, and it's going to take its time going up the Appalachian mountains, so not only will there be massive flooding, but trees could be blown down and bridges will be washed away. Most of the severe damage due to Irene actually happened in New England and not along the NYC/NJ coastline, and Sandy is expected to be far worse than Irene.

I'll be glad when this is over! I've been trapped at work all night sleeping on a cardboard box cause downtown Baltimore is a hot flooded mess

Yikes! That doesn't sound fun at all.

At least you're safe.

Here's hoping things let up very soon.

Superstorm Sandy: State-by-state snapshot

http://www.cbsnews.com/83...-snapshot/

Waves on Lake Michigan last night were 25/30 Ft. Some fools were out their last night trying to surf, they police told them to come in or else. They usually put rope lines along Michigan Ave to keep people upright.

nyc is still completely shut down. most of lower manhattan still without power and the transportation is completely shut down greater nyc area-wide.

its a mess.
