I live on the beach on the north shore of Boston. The winds were 60-80. The tide came up into the high grass. But, you wouldn't known there was a hurricane the next day. I had the tv on while I was working at my desk. I noticed Ch 4 was in front of my house. What they were describing was a lot worse than what was really happening. The news showed the same handful of situations repeatedly all day. On the south shore about 400K lost power for a few hours. The worst damage is always in Scitiuate on the south shore. Why anyone would build their house right up to the edge of the ocean is beyond me. I have forty yards between the ocean and the three foot wall in front of the house.Last edited by tg643; 11-01-2012, 09:19 PM.

I'm in NYC (Queens), buck was very fortunate not to lose power/internet/phone service. Lots of trees down by me, but a good portion of our large trees were taken out by the tornado in 2010. Still a mess. I work in Manhattan and have been working from home which looks like it will continue for a while since mass transit isn't running and because salt water got onto the tracks in places place, may not be running for another few days. School has been closed all week, but should re-open tomorrow.
Have a place on the eastern tip of Long Island (right before Montauk) which is on a strip of land which has the Atlantic Ocean to the south and Long Island Sound to the north. Entire strip of land is probably a mile wide if that. Somehow the house is still there and it didn't even flood!

As a survivor of as many as 5 hurricanes churning through my state in the same year (My house directly impacted by 4 of them)..my prayers are with everyone...as the person responsible for Disaster Restoration for a major wireless carrier..and who has had crews in many storms over the last couple of decades...NY got a good whack...but Alabama last year was unreal and the only reason it wasn't the very worst holocaust of a storm since all those poor migrants just "disappeared" in the work camps down in S. Fl. after Andrew, is that The University of Alabama had the courage to listen and keep all those students home the day all those tornados hit.
What I am noticing is the media isn't letting it get as hysterical as things got after Katrina (Even months after that storm, my crews had to wear kevlar because they were getting shot at..no kidding).
