Do you believe in the boogieman? The Hurricane Simulation
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
Well, that's sort of spooky now, isn't it ?
Stay Safe ! to all those in the path of this monster .

Having lived most of my adult life with hurricane awareness, i'll tell you right up front that this whole scenario has been very spooky.
Meteorologists with no previous precedent to guide them all reaching the same conclusions and generating extremely similar forecast models with no audible/visible conjecture among them? ....... historic first.
Sandy maintained a steady 75mph sustained wind speed for over 72 hours with out so much as 5mph deviation................... historic first.
A tropical system that gets weaker over warm water and stronger over cold water............. historic first.
A tropical system that takes a 90 degree turn westward with the precision of a bus turning at an intersection................ historic first.

Power out at 3:45. Scotch will be out soon. Only 1/2 hour battery life on the laptop till I fire up the generator. Ah, Adventure...
Oh man, please you guys take care!
Hoping everyone makes it through this ok...

Thanks Westend9 !
Yeah they are on just about every pole in my area to help add more power to the grid.

I know this is a really late response to this thread. I was without broadband service for so long that I'm just now getting back to speed.
I'm only a mile or two from the Ocean. The path predicted for Sandy, right up to an hour or so before she made landfall, looked like it went directly over my house!
I bought gas for the generator, tested it and then started getting about 20 pairs of mostly Altecs and 4 pairs of Tannoys to the second floor of my house.
The wind got to the point wherein the glass in the garage doors sounded like it exploded. Then stuff started getting sucked out side through the the small windows.
Lot of Altec horns and drivers in the garage as well as my A&'s and one pair of my Velenchias.
All I could do was to cover them with tarps and hope for the best.
In the end, the only damage to my audio gear was the destruction of the 12" Ortophon RMG-309 arm on my table which was quite close to where a window met a large tree branch.
Anyone got a 12" arm for sale or trade?
I'm glad that no one here was injured.
Peace,
Rick
