I was in upstate New York when it hit, I couldn't get home(to New Jersey) for about two days because of flooding. My house in NJ was spared though. A tree did come down about a foot from my car though.

This article from a local paper has pretty stunning images of a beach one town away from me.

Well, I got lucky. No major damage was done around me and luckily my power didn't go out (unlike most of the people here in Lindenhurst) BUT the mosquitoes are nasty. I don't know if they came over from Fire Island or something but when I went outside, I must have had four of them biting me at once.

I lost power for 5 days and had my basment flooded. Lukliy, I saved my Peugnin power Games,Which I use to play famicom Games on.

Did your house get hit with any flooding?

[klax]

Mine?

[UglyJoe]

No, Parodius.  You already mentioned that your basement was flooded.

Ouch, that really stinks. Was there any other major problems?

[UglyJoe]

It's not Irene, but we got nailed with a huge storm today.  I actually can't get back to my apartment because all of the roads into town are flooded

I'm at a hotel for the night, not too far away.  Here's a picture of a Pizza Hut up to its roof in water: http://twitpic.com/6hicxu

Hope everything is ok UglyJoe... and i hope all your famicom/nes etc stuff are ok.

[UglyJoe]

Yeah, my stuff is okay.  The area of town where my apartment resides is actually in pretty good shape.  It also helps that I'm on the second floor.  I managed to get back to my apartment this morning, happily reunited with my fiance

DAMN i heard that now there is a Massive Power Outage...  on the news they said that 1.5 million people are affected by the outage i hope that none of our US members are without electricity.

[Parodius Duh]

Everything is just starting to get back to normal, Power/Internet is coming on and off and the only working post office on the CT shoreline is 15 miles away. Anyway,  heres a few pics for your enjoyment.



My Cousin, at the exact second the flood rushes in....
