leversole Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 When I got back to the freeways (driving back from Boyertown) I-81 and I-80, I saw convoy after convoy of power company and tree service trucks heading east!Thought about using my camping generator to run essentials at home in case the power goes out. Made a Darwin plug, cut the mains, and plugged the generator (Yamaha 24SI) into one of the house outlets...viola! I have power on some things, two fridges, the sump pump, and a few lights...too bad the damn water pump is 220! WTF? If it gets bad, me and the ol' lady can stay in the camper!...even have a hot shower (till the water runs out)!

mackman1965 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Bob I hope your right and this giant inconveience of a storm blows out to sea. I live in on the extreme south shore on the nassau/queens border and the way these people are acting you would swear that tomorrow aint coming. The gas stations have lines like the gas shortages of the mid 70s . then when you get to the pump after waiting they only have Premium at $4.50 a gallon. The last 2 storms i had trees come down and crush the PVC fence but i still got 1 about a 50 foot pine tree that i am a little concerned about. Well I wish the best to all in the storms path and I hope the good Lord watches out and protects us all.

RowdyRebel Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 That boat video brings back fond memories of my high school years when I'd spend the summers working at a Boy Scout camp up in Wisconsin. One summer, I was giving a fellow camp councelor a ride across the lake in the little aluminum rowboat with a 6hp motor on it when a storm rolled in. We had been expecting a pretty big storm, but it never showed so the show must go on, right? Anyway, we made it about half way across (lake was just shy of 2 miles in diameter) when it hit hard. Lightning crashing down all around us....winds blowing hard enough to have some pretty large waves in that little lake and it was all I could do to keep the boat facing into the wind so the waves wouldn't flip us over. Turns out a tornado had touched down about 3 miles away.Good times... Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

JTFormula Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well the storm is kicking hard now. My neighbors tree just came down on their roof and they are starting to cut it down and tarp the hole. My bro in law said his neighbors tree just came down on their house while the guy was in the shower it hit right above the bathroom. Woof! I set my GoPro up on the rear sliding door to time lapse every 60 seconds. Should be a cool thing to watch until the sun goes down.

1958 F.W.D. Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hellertown, Pa (exit 67 of I-78) at 1630 hours today: Right now we have pretty moderate rains, and the winds are definitely kicking up. I estimate constant winds of 20mph with occasional gusts of 40-50mph. They say it will get real bad starting after 1800 hours and will rock and roll all night long. The candles and flashlights are close at hand and a pot of chili is slow-brewing on the stove.

farmer52 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 As I post this note, over 1" of rain today here in RS with 3"-6" expected by noon Tuesday. Winds are blowing at 25mph with gusts up to 40mph. Praying the electricity stays on and the trees don't come down on the house, barn, out buildings, and the MH. Predicting up to 60mph gusts later tonight and Tuesday morning. It will be an interesting 24 hours.

JTFormula Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 It's 8:48 pm and its no longer fun any more the power is out and transformers are blowing up all around behind us. Huge white flashes in the sky and Fire Trucks out in force. I doubt ill have power for the next few days. The wind is insane. Sustained winds of at least 45 mph with easy 70-80 mph gusts. Trees are swaying like crazy.
