East Coast Members Please Check In

[Guest LadyC]

yes, we all need to be praying for anyone affected by the storms on the east coast. but sometimes it helps to remind us when we make it personal.

so, if you live on the east coast, or have an immediate family member in harm's way, PLEASE check in with us here. that way we can be praying for you by name. and that way we can count heads when the storm has passed and make sure everybody is still accounted for.

I'm still here and we are experiencing the brunt of the storm in MD. I'm in Central to Western MD. It's not really bad yet although there is localized flooding. Looking at the pictures of our Coastal cities is depressing though. I am about 170 miles from the sea inland. We're supposed to see the high winds coming in within the hour and through the night. That is when it will get worse. I understand that Baltimore and Washington are feeling the effects of tidal flooding along the rivers and such. There are also large power outings around the area. I haven't experienced them yet, thanks be to God!

On the radio they have issued warnings to stay home and some major highways are closed. My wife had to go round about to get home this afternoon because our local Route 26 was flooded and closed due to a low lying tributary/creek.

They've also closed major bridges like the famous Bay Bridge over the Chesepeake Bay due to High Winds. This cuts the Eastern shore off from the rest of the State unless you want to travel all the way around the Bay.

My sister lives near Annapolis and in a low lying area near the Severn River. They may have to leave soon due to Flooding.

thanks for the progress report, dave! i've been seeing some of the photos you've posted on fb. i can't even imagine what it must be like to be in your shoes. i've never lived close enough to a disaster zone.

i'll definitely be praying for you and the family. i hope others here will be posting as they are able, and pray nobody's failing to check in because they're unable.

keep us posted, if you will. if we stop hearing from you, we'll know to step up the prayers even more.

Here in NH it is just windy. Watching the leaves blow around with a little rain. I believe we will not feel much of this storm.

Praying for all our brothers and sisters across the pond.

Everyone facing the dangers of this massive storm will be in my prayers.

Well the turnout for this thread isn't a good sign....

Here in Western NY (about 400 mi from NYC) just some heavy rain, so far. There will be some creek flooding and scattered power outages, for sure. The Lake Ontario shore line might get hit pretty hard because of the high winds coming from the North (which isn't usual, as they generally come from the southwest.

They've already cancelled the area schools for tomorrow. The old man in me is tempted to say "well in MY day, we would have gone to school" - but it probably is for the best.

We've got some big evergreen trees in the front yard way too close to the house - I always worry about those when we have high wind. Other than that, and a wetter than normal basement, we're doing okay here.

Blessings!

Is it cold enough to snow..... I worked in Rochester for a year way back when and with north winds coming off the lake snow can be the pits....
