East Coast braces for monster 'Frankenstorm' | General Headlines | Comcast

This affects our East Coast & Midwest friends. I read this, seemed pretty important. 40 mph winds, ahh, but coupled w/. possibly 5" of rain, etc. ?!?

People's days off cancelled at utility co's? Potential for $1B in damages. Ya, this is serious ****.

 

Thats normal kinda stuff down here in the south... haha hurricane season.

 

Think so, huh? Jonathan, from Maine - Florida, stretched out to Ohio isn't a small area tho. And it already blasted the Caribbean, but not all the weather qualities are gonna be there. And for some, it'll hang round for a wk.
I was racing Wed. in weather that was 76° on the way there & down around to 67-63° when I got my last 2 runs in.
Today, it was 67° on way to work, after 1/2 commute it was 57°, by 9:30 it was 47° & rainy. It's comin & I'm on the edge of it too.

 

blah.. just a lil wind and rain..

 

I needed a 40 MPH tailwind when racin, coulda helped my ETs. The rain wouldn't help but neither does poor traction. Ugh! But that'll be a thread for later today. At least it's faster.

 

yea buddy, a solid week of wind and rain isn't fun. We been hit hard several times, good luck to you guys..... as bad as it sounds, I am sure glad its not coming for us this time. We had 5" of rainfall in just over 2 hours during this last storm. Thats nuts

 

And while the human body may fare what gets dished out, I hope u protect your babies (trucks), cause u sure don't want em outside if it hails. That'll put some dents in fo sho.

 

Preparing here in costal MD on the bay. Stockpiling gas for the generator. We were without electric for 5 days when Irene came through. Sandy is being referred to as one mother of a Noreaster that could make Irene look like a punk. Hopefully it's short lived.

 

Monday was my day off, just got the call today that I have to report in now. Damn weather.

 

What makes this bad is for the people a little more west. There is supposed to be a cold front moving down from up north that is going to meet up with the storm and could cause some fairly good snowfall in places. I read some parts of WV are predicted to get 2 feet of snow.
