We're getting a Frankenstorm?

Oh, so you missed Sean Kanan coming back as Jason!

I agree, Opal! Why can't they do it during the commercials?

Hi lil' sis! Glad you'll be safe at least! So far we haven't had any tornadoes where I live, but some areas of NY have. I was watching my soap "General Hospital" on Friday when they "interupted" for a Hurricane Alert. The storm was 3 days away so I was just mad that they couldn't wait til my show was over!

We have the cold, 28 right now. It was 90 on Tuesday. It is time for us to be having some cold weather here in Kansas, though. Sometimes after hurricanes hit the coast we get extra rain, and that would be a good thing for us after being so dry all summer.

Hi ladies! I don't know what's going on with the weather anywhere and everywhere. I don't understand what is happening, but I'm just trying to deal with whatever Mother Nature is trying to throw our way and right now it isn't looking good! Stay safe!

Where can I get one, sign me up. I have seen them powered by treadmills on television.

I want a computer that is powered with a treadle, like the old sewing machines...

Hi GG! I'm just doing what I'm told (for a change)lol. Some of my friends are non-believers and that's who the news channels are trying to get through to. People get tired of being warned and nothing happens. They really want people to be on the alert, prepared and ready this time because they feel this hurricane is a real serious threat!

Hey p1key! How ya doing, my dear friend? I will be staying in and watching the news for as long as a I have power or staying right here on the Internet. I'm just hoping it won't be as bad as they are predicting. Always wonderful to see you,,Les

Hi Bon. The mid-Atlantic and Northeast areas of the country USED to be the quietest regarding weather. Maybe a bit too much snow for some but quiet for the most part. We never had much extreme weather at all. But in the past few years, it's been getting worse and worse. We had an earthquake centered here in Virginia not long ago and recently that one up north (New Jersey, wasn't it?). Plus, earlier this year, we had that massive, freak wind storm rip through here all the way to the ocean, destroying so much property and causing widespread power outtages. Now, this "Frankenstorm". It IS getting scarey!

Hi ladies! Bun, I'm afraid MW is right! We used to have more predictable weather here too, but in the last few years we have been hit with massive snow storms, power outages and at this point anything goes! We had an earthquake here in NY about 28 years ago or so right after I moved into my apartment! NY never was supposed to have earthquakes! Well, I was awakened to this roaring sound like a train coming through my apartment, my bed was moving across the floor and I didn't know what the he!! was happening! It was an earthquake that was almost a 3 on the Rikter Scales! And then the next day an aftershock of the same magnitude! And I was afraid to live in California?

Hi lacieice~ I hope that you will be safe where you are. The leaves on the trees is unfortunately one of the big issues here to at this time of year. We are supposed to get heavy rain and very strong wind gusts. That is what will cause the power lines to go down, which is what I worry about the most, as most people do.

Hi Thoroughrob!I hope that you and your family stay safe too. I live in an apartment complex so there isn't I have any control of.

Hi BarBara! You have to give to those weather people, they sure are creative! Didn't know they had a sense of humor? I just hope that everyone, wherever they live remain safe and out of the path of Hurricane Sandy, or whatever they want to call it!

Hi zandi! Great to see ya! We don't get alot of hurricanes here usually either. And we don't get ones that are of this magnitude that they are saying is on it's way. You should be happy to just have it raining cats and dogs, at least they're cute and cuddly.

Hi my dear friend Hatley! I heard that there are other discussions on the storm, but I am having a hard time with mail and mylot again this weekend so it's been irratic and hard for me to get online to the site. I will be happy to update for as long as I can, providing I still have power, which is my worst fear. So far, the news is still the same, the storm is just getting a little closer. It is supposed to start sometime tomorrow and end sometime Thursday. That certainly doesn't sound too good. The main part will hit Monday into Tuesday and those will be the worst parts, so far. Will try to stay around....

Hey there! Well batten down the hatchs and watch out for a bumpy ride. I think it is a good thing that you have time to prepare. There was a time when they couldn't track them. Good luck and I hope things go okay for you and your area.

Thanks again celtic! I'll be here tomorrow waiting to see what happens! I plan to take advantage of my Internet just in case!

Hey celtic! Great to see ya! Been having some health issues~ Have posted about them a few weeks ago. I am not in the mood for Sandy-none of us NYrs or the surrounding areas are!

Hi angel! So far the weather people say it is really that bad and it is headed in our direction. Not much more we can do but wait and see!

Hiya Opal, Yesterday I saw a bit about how they were panic buying some of them but you can hardly blame them in a way because the Shops here most of the time are almost short of everything. Panic buying goes on here now but not because of Storms because they are fed up of making numerous journeys to find all the right things. Well still hope nothing happens except that you might much needed rain like we have had here the Dams are filling up now.xxx

Hi BabyCheetah! Ooooo! I would love to come to Australia! I just gave Pose, above an update since it is now Monday and we are in the middle of the storm. It is a very unsettling feeling not knowing what's going to happen next~

Hi today2! The storm isn't here yet. That's another thing that is funny about the weather forcasters here. They broke into my soap unncessarily to talk about a storm that is a good 2-3 days away from here yet?

Hi jill~ I was asking about Cynthiann, so thanks for letting me know she's ok. Yes, they are talking about shutting down the transit and the schools and I hope they do. My bf is soooo stubborn and will go to work, no matter what unless they pull the busses off the road. I'm not leaving the apartment! Got my "emergency stuff" almost together. Will finish up in a bit!

Hi Pose! Nice to see ya! Thank you for the well wishes. It is now Monday afternoon and the winds are starting to really pick up. So far the storm is exactly on track and starting to wreck havoc on NY and NJ! NJ has been hit pretty hard already from what I hear. We still have a few hours to go before we start getting the major scary wind gusts of 60MPH or more. I am alone because my bf had to go to work and is spending the night because there is no transportation running in NY at all. We are all just wating...

Hi AL! Glad the sun is shining somewhere!lol It's not supposed to rain unti sometime Sunday evening and then I think thta's when all He!! breaks loose! Or at least that's what's still predicted. I've taken a break from checking the latest "weather alert". By tomorrow there will be enough time for more. I'm exhausted already and nothing even happened yet!

Hi natliegleb! Glad to hear someone is having some great weather somewhere!

Hi codymac! I remember Floyd-well sort of. Thanks for the safety hopes and the wind stuff. Getting updates from one of my gf's as I write this!

Hi Tongcv~ I have been hearing that the weather all over the world has been getting stranger and not for the better from all our mylotter friends.
