With this web site, many of us have become personnel friends. Many of us who also frequent this site live in the Tri State area (NY, NJ, and CT) which was hit the hardest from Sandy. Many of us still have no electric power, not able to get gasoline, no heat, and its getting colder, no hot meals etc. Have families with young children. Some have lost everything.
First, I would like everybody to know that here at my home, about 120 miles northeast of NYC, I never lost power and somehow didn't suffer any storm damage. With that said, the weather is getting colder. Things are very tough for some of the members on this site. If ANYBODY needs a warm place to stay, kids and all, you are welcomed to stay at my house until things get back to normal. It may not be the Hilton Hotel of Midtown, but I have plenty of food, heat and of course a scanner if you want. Just send me a pm or call me (860) 705-6812. If I can help somebody here, I'd be more than happy to do it. And just to let you know, many gas stations in places like Stamford and Norwalk are now out of gas. But I think beyond Bridgeport its not too much of a problem.
I have been lucky enough to get in touch with a few other members of this site. And if you could, please let us know if you need anything, if we can help, or if you did just fine like I did. Just add a reply.
I have heard from these members:
"mikeindabronx" - Mike lives in the Bronx and he never lost power. He is doing okay. I think he said his wife is scheduled for some surgury early this week. So we wish her all the Best.
"G-man" - lives in Staten Island. Amazingly he did okay. Lost power and no phone service, but I think he said he has power now.
"Johnd248" - John lives on the shoreline in Eastern, Ct. The shoreline of Connecticut was hit pretty hard, but John and his wife Michelle, did okay. A few trees down and some shingles missing. He lost power from Monday to Friday.
"vbcapt" - Deano who lives in Virginia Beach, VA says he did okay and he says that they did not get hit as hard as the NY/NJ area.
Those are the people I have heard from. I have a few phone numbers of members and I hope to give some of them a call later today. If you can post how you are doing, I think there's a lot of us that are concerned.
And as I mentioned, don't spend another night out in the cold. If you can get about 40 miles outside of NYC you should be able to get gas. And you're welcomed to stay at my place. If you have young kids, its even more important. Willy "D"
