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

I was stuck in Miami with several freinds for a wedding when Sandy hit. My wife and kids were home (not a great feeling). Everybody on the block lost power and everybody lost 1 to 3 trees but all where safe. I ended up renting a car to drive home because airlines said maybe a Friday flight out. We left 10:30 Tue. morn. and got to my house 5:30 am Wed. (made good time) To my surprise when I got a block away from my house I noticed we had POWER! My house has become a hub for freinds to come and stay to shower, eat, and relax when possible. The biggest problem we have now is getting fuel for generators and cars. The Jersey shore by me is gone, all the beach clubs, homes, restaurants leveled! I have several freinds that lost their homes on the water. Would like to Thank! all my Z Brothers who reached out and called me to make sure the family and I were safe. My 2 buddies I was driving were amazed that I had car freinds around the country that cared enough to call. I took the time to educate them on the brotherhood. Thanks again

Ricky,
Thanks for reporting in.
We were about to muster up a WAZOO search party to go look for you.
Relieved to hear the family is well and your house was spared from the worst of the storm. Please let us know if you need anything.
