Philadelphia area here. Ready to take on the storm. Got the house in order. I work for the local power utility so ill probably be at work for a week straight. Side pocket of my bag is loaded up with batteries n liquid. Wish me luck out there. Be safe everyone.
You be safe out there Nutty1. I know that I totally appreciate the efforts of guys and gals who work so hard to get our electricity going after a power outage. This world runs on electricity and without there's no TV, no water [we are on a well] and no computer. Argghhh!!!!
WAAAH!
Im waiting for multiple shipments... everything is gonna be delayed!
And if power goes, I'm doomed. I have a 65mm & 78mm battery, and half a carton of cigarettes. WAAAA!
I haven't had an analogue is 4 days and counting!!!!!

Got my household prepared with necessities, plenty of juices and 4 fully charged X2s but if we are out of power for several days... Wish I thought about getting a SI Power Pack before now. 8-o
Getting cigarettes as a backup is NOT an option.
Stay safe everyone!

Just east of Pittsburgh here. Getting ready to head out for work. Its gonna suck working in this rain and wind, but oh well. Hope everyone in its path is safe and sound. Prayers for ya.
Did everything I can think of to prepare, gas, generator, cleaned gutters, trimmed limbs, extra water, charged batteries, tons of 78mm, X2sand liquids, phones charged and lots of food. I'm just sitting here looking out the sliding door watching the trees whip around and the rain pour down, and the storm is still about 200 miles away!
Hey mate. Don't sweat it. Early on I went back to smokes. It was an easy transition back to vaping.
We had hurricane winds come through of all place Ohio a few years back. I had just planted some trees in the front yard and we just had an inground pool put in. The night before it blew through I had put topsoil, seeded, and put straw down all around the pool. The next day it hit. I can remember standing outside as the wind blew in thinking wow something isn't right. I sent the wife and kids to the basement.
Then I watched as all the topsoil straw blew into our new pool. One of the trees I just planted snapped at the base and started twirling in a circle. A few of our pear trees limbs fell.
Our power was out for 5 days. Luckily I had a ton of charcoal. So I did a lot of grilling for us and the neighbors.
Man it was a mess and of all places.. Ohio.
I only have 4 batteries but they are all fully charged! Two 78mm batteries. One 650 mah X2, and one 900 mah X2. All ready to go.
Oh yeah, I stocked up on batteries, flashlights, candles, water and beer too.

I didn't know there was a thread started just about "Sandy" . . .
AND - Since I already posted what's going on with "Me" in the Chit Chat thread - I'll just repost this little bit here for the laugh factor & "irony" of the situation . . .
OH BOY ! ! !
If YOU ONLY KNEW . . . .
Can't wait to get back to South FLORIDA ! ! !

Good luck everyone and stay safe!!! Going to sleep in the basement tonight, to many trees around the house!!
Just want to send out best wishes to everyone that will be effected by Sandy. I haope the damage is minimal and no one get hurt. Stay safe and be careful.
Wind is really picking up here and I'm being told the eye will go right through us. All batts are charged and coolers are filled with beverages. Bring in on sandy!
