(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey NGU, i live in the NYC Metropolitan area. We're expecting 4-6'' of rain and wind gusts up to 75 MPH. Me and my dad are putting everything away in the back/front yard, and we're going to tie down our basketball hoop. So what precautions are you guys going to take (People in the area where Hurricane Sandy will hit)? Im just curious

I live in Queens & I'm going to tie down flowers, that's it. There's not that much to worry about unless for those who live near the Rockaway beach. I hope the CUNY schools close down or that the J train doesn't work on Tuesday so that I'll have more time to study for my statistics and accounting tests (highly possible).

im going straight bars aka takeing out 8 cars lmfao we got the generator working incase power goes out for a while because electrical crues are waiting in albany and NYC so upstate wont get power back for a couple days if it goes out.(im in Syracuse)

nice. What part of Queens you live in? I live in Flushing. No offence, but i think you're flowers would probably get blown away...Good lucky during the storm. Irene wasn't really bad last year.

Oh, you live in Syracuse. They wont get hit as hard, but at least you have a generator. I dont, so my family and i will be eating chips and beans from a can, like the tornado we've had back in September 16, 2011. Power was out for a couple days, and con-ed did a good job restoring it.

This is generally where I tell people out there to stay dry -- I'm on the exact opposite coast. The hurricane looks like a doozy and I've been writing about the science involved with hurricane prediction and all the satellites/scientists involved.

I'll be on the lookout for people recording their experience, and I hope that they stay safe (even if they don't stay entirely dry.)

I live in Newark, Delaware and man is it coming straight for us, I for one love storms and this one looks like it could do some damage, brought all my lawn chairs into the shed tied down bigger objects and moved my cars from under the tree's into the street, I have huge oak trees and lots of "other" trees where I live in my front/backyard hope they withstand sandy!

i know dude. And in my area, we have LOADS of big oak trees.. thats the main threat for damage in my opinion. Since they're so large, wherever they fall, will likely bring down a power line and cause power outages.

im very sorry dude, but i cant :/... i would, but my phones broke and my dad wont let me use his since they're very expensive.. hopefully next year i can, since my dad's getting me a phone in the near future.

good luck to everyone and hope the power doesn't go out too long for anyone.
