primetime Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just drove from Owings Mills to Hunt Valley, steady rain but an otherwise easy drive. Virtually no one on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 During a big gust I lost my power for a couple of seconds which knocked my computer offline. Started putting some food from the fridge into a cooler with lots of cold packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Definitely mapgirl, its getting pretty rough down here SE of Baltimore. I wouldn't say it's rough up here - but I've noticed more leaves flying by the window I'm sitting at than before. Not a steady wind, but definitely a pick up in gusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a steady wind, but definitely a pick up in gusts Yeah I'm not far from the Bay, about 5 or 6 miles, my girl lives right on the bay, and its pretty bad there.

Mrs.J Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ok this is the first Hurricane my family has been through. I am getting anxious that I have not prepared enough. Currently... Have frozen bags of water (2) over the past day have half emptied our ice maker into bags and will do more (3) Food coolers flashlights (2) charged phones batteries weather radio blankets going to set up a bed in the lower level (our townhome is 3 levels and we are on the highest part of our neighborhood so our roof line is higher than the single family homes) Water I think I have what we need but am thinking I am missing an important item.

catoctin wx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Not a whole lot going on out here. Highest wind gust of only 15.9 mph and 0.93" of rain so far. Our big action out here will likely be at the pivot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though are we ok? sounds like you have the basics you'll need for a couple days, don't fret! If anything, make as much ice as you can fit in your freezer. You always need ice.

My best friend is from Houston (lives here now) and he said pretty much the same thing a couple days ago. I tried to explain it, but I think a lot went over his head.

Bob Chill Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We do have that and by my anxiety I apparently need to have some now! Seriously though are we ok? Yes, your list sounds fine. Long duration power outages and trees on homes is pretty much the highest impact. If you don't have any trees within harms reach then being prepared for a few days with no juice is fine. I'm hoping my 4g service sticks around. I can hotspot with my phone and I really hope I can stay connected to the net. I expect FIOS to fail at some point.

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Steady light rain, with a bit of a breeze. Temp 45. It feels miserable outside. Can't imagine how miserable it'll feel once that cold rain is being whipped with 50 mph winds. It'll be very strange to see leaveless trees at Halloween. Hopefully, we'll at least still see the trees..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cherry's Jacket Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Anybody remember the guy in VA beach that dropped his shorts and ran across the background during live TWC coverage of Irene? The sausage flapping in the breeze had me on the floor crying for 10 minutes. I think it was seidel but I can't remember. Kept a straight face but the studio was dying. I remember that. I was actually watching it live and there were some drunk frat boy types and a football comes through and then them and then a guy side jumping across the camera with full frontal. Alcohol is a hell of a drug. Speaking of which, is it 5 yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks all! We do have a tree line behind our house and I do worry about that. I have 4G also and a hot spot on both of our phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
