An awesome piece of work.

Anyone know how Ross is doing?

Haven't heard a peep, Don. There were mandatory evacuations ordered in Philadelphia, and I'm sure there are power outages... he might be affected by either or both.

Tried calling Giz, but got errors...

I forgot he was in the right area too. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

This is my second go at this thread. Internet is intermittent, beeon off and on since before we lost power. Power was out for 21 hours, 8 last night untill 5 this afternoon. I saw several reports on yahoo news. Southern part of Queens NY got hammered as did Atlantic City, Manhattan, Staten Island. There was a video showing water gushing out of an elevator shaft at a subway station.

There are some pics at the link. Notice the yard full of yellow cabs, all practically submerged. There were pics pf a flooded Queens neighborhood where a six-alarm fire destroyed between 80 to 100 homes. Like one big war zone. 

Where I'm at in West Chester we got lucky. I think Sandy side-swiped us. Some rain and wind but not a lot plus a gust or two. Most of the damage occurred Northeast of us. The bride I gave away.........she and her husband rode out the storm with me. It started out as a birthday dinner, two racks of ribs! from the local food cupboard, for a friend that turned into a 'hurry up and wait to see what Sandy does' type thing. They'll be leaving tomorrow. Oh.....and I lost none of the food in my fridge or freezer, I only had to toss the dairy products All in all......we made it. Hope everyone else did.

Haven't heard from Giz, but from what I see, some 40,000 homes are without electricity and he might have been in a mandatory evacuation zone...

What part does Web live in? Some zones were only partially evacuated. Gonna go look for more.

Found some early videos. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/superstorm-sandy-wrath-caught-video-123034167.html

I figure his electricity and phone service are wacked, or he'd find a way to get back to us.

I'm wondering how Fred... bkgarbageman is going too....  hope he is OK... though I'm sure he's busy beyond imagination with the cleanup.... 

I’m glad to see you’re ok Ross, I hope everyone else comes through it ok too.

Good news! Just got Giz on the phone. He's without power and might not have any for 2-5 days, but he's ok... just without heat and refrigeration. He had the bad luck to be between 2 areas with power. Lots of trees are down, which is the reason his area is without.

ditto.... 

That’s great! If you talk with him again tell him he’s in our thoughts and thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update on Giz Doc, hope other members who lives in and around the area are OK. 

Another update. Unfortunately not too good. This storm was a freakin' nightmare!!
