How are you doing with the storm? What's is it like currently where you are?

[ryangrieder]

I am upper west jersey, so I am only going to get the tropical storm part of Irene. I wanted to know, who here stuck it out and did not evacuate? And more importantly, how is the current condition of your home/street/town? Do you think you are going to be ok? And keep posting what the current condition outside of your home is. Pictures if any?

Currently, it's 1 in the morning, here in Sussex county we just started with the wind now. The rain is coming down pretty good, but the wind is slowly picking up real good now.

How are you doing? Is everything going ok? I hope everyone has a safe and harm free Sunday...

Union, NJ here. Wind and rain is starting to pick up but so far so good. Down my street I can see its blocked off due to it always having flood issues.

Irene

My power been flickering a couple of time, I had to close my bedroom window too much wind driving water in. I have a Vortech battery backup so I should be ok. Only thing that worried me is basement flooding. Fingers crossed.

Astoria, N.Y. here. Rain is coming down at a considerable rate but the wind is slowly getting stronger. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't lose power.

Here in Medford wind is picking up real good. We lost our lights for 30
Mins or so. Rain is really coming down. It's going to be a real bad storm. Let's all just pray we all get to keep our lights and be safe.

Good luck everyone!

It's 2 in the morning, and it's raining hard enough that I just took some advil PM to help let me sleep cause it's so loud outside. The wind is really pushing it now. I really wish this would have started getting bad out in the morning, not now, so I was awake for it and could be kept alert incase of emergencies.

Northport LI I've been without power since 4AM and it's 6AM now. The rain and wind aren't all that bad(yet I guess). Keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn't last more than a day or two.

Plainview Long Island rainy and windy still have power 6:30am . I do have water coming in my dryer vent Rigged something up to stop it. Hope I did. Stay safe everyone.

Power flickering many times over the night. My Quietone 15000 finally won't restart from all the on and off. Still have power though. 7am from Huntington station.

 

[jscarlata]

So far in garden city I still have power although it did flicker a few times starting around 1:30/2 or so. The wind seemed stringer at 3am than now, 8:40, can't bare to watch any more news shows so I don't know if the worst is over or yet to come. At least if I lose power it's not raining so nothing has really come into my basement yet.

 

[wimby]

Looks like the eye has passed almost Still have power here

Carlstadt, NJ... Power is holding, although it just flickered once. Some flooding in the basement, wind is getting bad, but my battery powered air pump is ready to go.
