We're a happily married couple living and working in the NYC area. Check out our blog to hear about what life is like at our home -- including favorite recipes, vacation travels, home projects, holiday traditions and more!
By now, many of you East Coasters are already feeling Sandy's effects. Flooding, power outages and hurricane-force winds have been hitting the tri-state area for hours now. I'll admit it, when talk of the hurricane first started, I was skeptical that we'd get hit hard. Yes, our Caribbean vacation had been cancelled due to Sandy, but I was convinced that the storm would simmer down before it hit the coat. Nevertheless, while we were grocery shopping on Saturday, we picked up a case of bottled water and some non-perishables. Knowing our luck, I figured if we had the supplies then we wouldn't end up needing them. ;) Even until yesterday when they actually shut down NYC mass transportation, I wasn't too worried. But since this morning when meteorologists began reporting the storm as worse than predicted, I started to get a little nervous. I've been keeping a watchful eye on Sandy since I woke up and I can tell you right now, I'm not a fan.
According to this side-by-side comparison, Sandy is going to be much worse than Irene:
The Google Crisis Response Team has set up a site to track the storm. Details about forecasts, public alerts, traffic conditions, evacuation routes, emergency shelters and more can be found right on one page:
