Any news from those touched by Superstorm Sandy? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

WARP TEN · 10-31-2012

Any reports from the Superstorm Sandy areas? Jim Voter were you hit hard? Did it snow there? Any other reports? I hope all are fine including their Z's.--Bob

I'm about 15 miles East of Jim in Reisterstown MD Baltimore Co. We have not had electricity since Monday, but otherwise unscathed... 2-3' of snow in W VA mountains... The storm was nowhere as bad as it could have been here... NJ and NY coast areas are decimated... My heart goes out to all those who suffered the worst damage.

All good here in Blue Bell, PA. Thanks for asking. Some of our friends in Long Island and NJ have not been as fortunate. I feel blessed to have sustained nothing more than a bit of wind damage, and power-off for two hours, etc.

Day 3 still no power, no cell service. I'm on a generator while I'm posting because my land line still works so my modem is working too. We only run the gen for a couple of hours at a time, just to heat up the house and run the water pump. Also to save fuel too. Took a ride this afternoon just to see if any gas stations were open. The majority were not but the few that were had lines of people with gas jugs in their hands waiting to get gas. Not to mention all the cars in line out in the street waiting too. I have enough gas to last another day and a half then I will be with them too...jimmy

You should read Marc Haibeck's description on using the ZR-1 as a fuel tanker. He had to have a generator run for several days and he set up the car as his fuel source. His descripton is on his ZR1Specialist.com website. Of course if you are out of gas and none is available, the story won't help much. Good Luck!--Bob

Frank, what can I do? Couple a' bucks? Shelter for you and your family? (4 or 5 hours north). Helping hands, I can come down. You name it. -Steve
