my in-laws in maryland said it was pretty intense.  Many still don't have power yet but not too much damage at least.

We are so thankful. We just lost power over night( it came back on at 3:00 am) Lots of wind and debris everywhere. The road outside of our neighborhood has lots of telephone poles and power lines down.

I feel for those who are not as fortunate especially those at the jersey shore.

I agree with the person who said this is a bad one. I live in the central coast still havent had sandy around and I hope we don't. I've been seeing in the news and internet what Sindy is doing. It's bad.

When I woke up this morning, it was almost dark outside. The streets were almost empty. However, when I got to the supermarket, it was packed with shoppers. The parking lot was packed with cars. People were coming in and out of the supermarket. I didn't stay. I left the place hoping I would find a less crowded place which I did. I was fortunate. I did my food shopping and got back home.

Stay safe, hopefully everything goes well in your area, i know that there is a lot of damage, and flooding in my area, all I can do is wish that everyone stays safe.

we are in WV, and not getting hit hard....at least not yet anyway....but some towns very near us are already having power outtages....so, I am not taking any chances of being without power and not get to cash out day after tomorrow....especially after being without electric for a week last July....and we live in an area that hasn't lost power for more than an hour or two in years and years...then it was just for a day or so.  SO, I am not risking it...I am cashing out now.
Stay safe everyone.

Mom2taz - Barbour County here. I was right in the middle of replying to you on Tuesday morning, when our power went out. I've been thinking about you and wondering if you guys were OK!

Did you stay up, or were you effected by the Tuesday AM falling tress like we were?

Our power just came back last night at 9:30, but there are big parts of the county that could be without power until Tuesday, I'm hearing. I'm pretty upset for those people. I'm hoping that now that the power's back on they'll set up a shelter in town, so later this morning I'll see if there's any place I can volunteer to help.

Me and my are from the Gulf Coast and survived Katrina, Camile, Betsy and don't understand all the whining that Sandy has caused... out of electricity for a couple of days... try weeks.

We are safe, but darn COLD ....

Having survived hurricanes before couldn't you be a little sympathic.  Those of us that live in NY and NJ  are a little shell shocked. There are some people that lost everything and  it is starting to get cold here . Please just hope that your follow fusion cashers are safe.

  Somebody is not lucky like that!

[Flackle]

The fact that this area doesn't get hit with huge storms that often means these people where less prepared and it also means there can be more damage (even with a relatively weak storm like Sandy.) I hope everyone prepared enough food and water and that you are prepared financially to recover from this storm.

thank God my family and friends are ok, they sent me pictures, it was definitely not a pleasant experience, and my condolences and sympathies to everyone who lost someone in this tragedy

I find it interesting how a storm can be considered a big deal in some parts of the country and it wouldn't be a big deal in other parts.  I realize there are reasons as to why it is this way, but I still find it interesting.  Either way, stay safe you guys.
