Sandy

[RWilson2526]

Hey guys just checking in....Wilson family made out fine out where we are. We are about 25 miles due west of Manhattan, about 35-40 miles north of Willy. High winds, some BIG trees down and no power but other than that no damage to homes or anything like that. Big problem thats going to develop is no gas. The few gas stations that had power yesterday sold out in short order.

Got enough for another couple days with the generator after that will have to start siphoning out of the boat in the driveway if it comes to that.

Sorry to hear about you guys and your boats down by the water!

Anybody heard from Willy?

That is what I want to know.. Willy? Destroyer? - SITREP please.. Thoughts are with all, I know you got bigger fish to fry than keeping us updated but please chime in when can.

He probably does not have power. Cell service here in this area is bad at best due to the outages... A lot of cell towers are awaiting power. Just hope he made it through OK though. It was pretty bad here in Staten Island. A lot of friends lost their boats and at least 4 marinas have been totally destroyed. I personally have a boat but no marina left to dock it at. Not sure what the future holds for me.

Last post from him was Sunday night in the other "sandy" thread in off topics. Sounded like he thought he was going to be OK, but not sure about Senor Burt (MJ spelling which I like better)...

Cam, glad your OK. In a few days things will return to quasi-normal, hang in there.

Slinger, Capt. Pete too, if you got a minute and see this give us a report.. Along with anyone else that might be eyes on the ground.

I talked to Willy Monday night around 5:30, he was fine no power since monday around 1 pm but generator was running but his well pump had died. no water but he had beer and liquor. Was worried about his boat as it was on blocks but the water was already close to the bottom of it in the boat yard. said the plug was in it as the insurance told him to do.

I talked to Willy last night, said about the same as what he told Skools, I tried to call him today, all I got was answering service

We are good here!! Wind was going and some rain, but not super bad. We were called on the reverse 911 system and told to get out, but I am on a high spot and had no worries!! Thank God I was right, nothing happened, last night was a different story, we had a Microburst that trashed the area worse then the Hurricane! Never lost power, they flicked a little and I thought they were going to go but they never did.
My son lost power for like 15 hours but its back on nw, he is a landscaper so he is going to be a busy guy!!
CB made out just fine!! But his daughter lives a little ways from hin and lost her power for a while but since got it back.

Glad all is ok with you guys!!

Finally got into the marina today. My boat was nowhere to be found Not a good feeling. Finally after searching for ten minutes I caught A glimpse of it. It and 3 other boats washed right to the edge of the yard next to the lagoon. A few more feet and it probably would have gone in and sank. Amazingly it took on no water. The lower unit is stuck in the mud but the hull looks to be ok. The clean up around toms river begins. Its going to be a long process. Still not much power around town and crazy lines for gas.
