Getting nasty here, power is out all around us, will prob go out soon here. Have both generators ready, plus the one in the motorhome(hot showers ahhhhhhhh!!--gas water heater anyway) so Im good as long as the wind damage stays to a minimum

Everybody take care, Cheers with a freshly made Dickle Tan and ginger!!:beer:

getting a bit nasty here, power still on, some smaller branches down.

Barnegat Bay Cam gettin a lil SHAKY...and don't forget about the eye...if it goes over you and all calms down, the worst is yet to come...

looking at the radar it looks pretty nasty down there. Just got done securing everything around my home, expecting "weak" hurricane winds tomorrow morning.

I hope everyone stays safe.

Were getting the backside of the storm now. Lost a couple of trees, ripped them right out of the ground. A limb fell on the pier but haven't been able to get out there to see if it did any damage. Raining so hard can't see 50 feet.

eye is supposed to be here around 8pm. but probably lost alot of its potency

Hope everyone stays safe with what is remaining. We lost power for 10 hrs and we are 100 plus miles inland

Eye is almost up to us right now.. (looks to be near Edison, NJ...middle of the state)... tons of rain.. my basement is flooding (seepage only)... it's 7:15 am Been up all night. Sump pump holding it's own np. only very mild wind so far. a few big gusts, but no house shakers.. We'll see what happens after the eye passes... River is still in it's banks, no street flooding (so far). We've had power all night, no interuptions. Hope and pray that everyone is safe and has no damage. Let the sun shine in....:sun:

Hope you Northern boys fare ok, we had trees blown down from ground saturation from the day before Irene hit and during Irene. Broken Limbs, siding and shingles off.

I was up all last night, walking outside, with high tide and storm surge it flooded my wetlands came in my yard surrounded the house. It looks like the slope I put from the house fdn out in the yard kept water from coming in my fdn vents and getting under the house.

The floor in my shed got wet.

I had water knee deep out by my shed (near the wetlands). My ditches are still full but the water is receeding back to the creek.

The main thing I'm worried about now is so much rain and flooding my septic tank drain field got saturated and will it fill the tank and then we can't use the toilet.

Hope everyone was and is going to be as lucky as I was.

If anyone has damage and needs help call me I'll load my equipment and head your way to help you out.

Lot of wind and rain but the Willy house hold is doing OK.
My brother in law on the Delaware River, lives on the PA side just south of Frenchtown NJ is in trouble, basement full and flooding over onto the first floor.
we cannot get to him and he cannot get out yet so we are waiting to hear what he needs and when we can get there.
The river is set to crest tomorrow afternoon at 21.5 feet above flood, that puts it at his front step, if they are off by six inches it puts it inside the rest of his home.
Waiting to hear on FishBones which is on the hard on jack stands at the marina. No contact so far. I know the town streets behind them are flooded.
I am worried about that good looking fellow in LI NY, his town is under water flooded.
I am referring to MJ's boyfriend CTT
Also worried about Destroyer and others up in North Jersey. All the major river watersheds are at above record flood levels.
That is no F'n buono.
Right now we have some hard gusting winds in the 40 knot range as the back arm of the storm is passing by, no rain with it yet.
If I don't lose any trees with this back side it looks like I am going to skate through.
