Hurricane Sandy

Thankfully didn't lose power in my neighborhood. Plus I live on the northern side of Long Island which I hear didn't have it as bad as the southern side. Breezy Point, Queens was seriously wrecked . The flooding made it difficult to contain the fire. 80-100 homes burned down :/ My building in Downtown Manhattan is shutdown til the end of the week also. No subway and no LIRR running either as far as I know.

So more like 30-45 minute drive. I'm about 3 miles north of where 295 meets 42 and 76. Maybe we can meet up for the next expo or something...

Sounds good, I'll most likely be at hamburg dec 1st.

Well, finally able to check in...still without power in Northwest Jersey, and likely will be for a couple/few days. I can't even begin to express exactly how HUGE having a generator is for me right now.

I'd suggest that anyone with a collection of balls, or really almost any reptiles, get themselves a generator. If you can afford to house/feed/breed hundreds to thousands of dollars worth of snakes, you can surely afford a $500-1,000 generator.Never know what's going to happen when, and far better safe than sorry .

I could agree more! I'm so glad I have a generator. I really have it for my collection and to run my exhaust fan for my rats. I'm not so worried about me and other things, but my collection is most important.

As an update S.E. PA is really spotty with power outages, and I'm one of the spots. Other than no power and no work to do without power we are fairing pretty well, only had one 35' tree come down on my property.

This is why I can't go to work! :/

I was just watching the weather and it appears the Northeast may get nailed by a potentially powerful Nor'easter by the middle of next week...more rain, high wind, and coastal flooding:(.

I think its crazy that ny is still in shambles after so many days Idk what is going to happen with the no gas situation but Im just glad that my family in valley stream is good and my momma in southside Jamaica is good. I hope everything is back to normal by thanksgiving so I can go home and visit.
