Scourge of War Boards

Sunny and 60 degrees. Not a cloud in the sky in western Colorado. Good luck to all of you in the east.

Our Arkansas Linesmen are headin' your way East Coast Yanks. It's times like these when we're all truly brothers, lending a hand when we're needed most...hang in there, this storm is a monster.

Well Good Luck to all that will be affected by this storm , this one seems to be huge.

I never paid any attention to the grounds elevations until a small part of Nashville was under water a few years back!

We have 5 folks from the Northern Nevada Red Cross heading east to assist with evacuees and other duties. May Waka Tanka bless you all out there.

Are they coming to us east coast Rebs in Virginia first? Have to have priorities you know!

This evening on TV here in the UK they superimposed a satellite image of Sandy centred on Paris: it covered the whole of NW Europe and the British Isles. I don't think we Europeans have any idea what you guys are about to go through - good luck.

Having lived on the Gulf coast for 18 years, I'm very familiar with hurricane threats. You'll be wet and inconvenienced in Virginia and surrounding areas, but those north and northwest of where Sandy comes ashore are gonna catch almighty HELL. They're the ones that will need serious help, and that's where those Arkansas Linesmen are headin' I'm figurin'. And with that arctic blast meeting Sandy headon...WHOA...folks on that path better be buying generators, fuel, water and groceries because many will be stranded for days.

Believe me when I say I have been hit plenty by Hurricanes, too. I feel for them. But, my tongue in cheek joke was, they ARE yankees.

Seriously speaking, as I said, before, my prayers/good hopes are with EVERYONE in the path of this storm.

Has anyone read where the HMS Bounty had to be abandoned of Hatteras this morning?

From my understanding, the HMS Bounty sunk 90 miles off Cape Hatteras. As of 730 pm, the Captain and one other are still missing. The Coast Guard rescued 14 crew members.

Sandy sailed right past us without much more than some wind. But in the past we have had our fair share of hurricane action (south Fla). I wish eveyone in Sandy's path the best of luck. Stay safe.
