check in for Northeast cubbers

Beautiful here today... They sure do an awesome job of cleanup, most roads are open, loads of branches and trees down, thankfully no casualties that I know of. No power at work, so I took some pictures, worked on the generator (yuky tank!) and have the C-2 spindle ready to go back in after replacing the bushing.

The awesome folks from Ill (don't think they know Bear... but I did ask) disconnected the neighbor's power and lifted the tree off the car. Helped a bit to get into pieces so they can reconnect. Car isn't that bad, considering.

Life is good, warm and mostly sunny here. Ran into a fellow Cub owner (actually son) working on the downed trees at a mansion. Stopped by cliff walk and a youngster was challenging the waves...

Hurricane sandy was a non event here thankfully, we had .6" of rain and some snow flurries this morning. The wind was not over 10-20 mph and that was in squalls.
it is a cold cloudy day. No loss of power, some neighboring counties have outages. The Shenandoah valley was mostly unscathed.

Just got the word that our power is back up. Only 15 hours. Better than the 7+ days last year! :D My neighbor is smarting though. Two huge trees fell on a van he JUST bought and did not have on insurance. Ouch. :cry:
 
Believe it or not, here in the southwest corner of Indiana, we are having 15-25 mph steady winds with gusts from 35-40 mph. It is sunny however. It sure is/was a big storm.

Lost power Monday night at 10 pm. Back on at 1 pm today. Roof leaked. Some clean up in the yard to do but not as bad as some of the thunder storms we get.

Can't say it was the best. Pine tree just missed the Super AV but got the cub. Cub needs a hood pounded out or replaced. Grill pretty bad too. Head lamp post ripped off.

How long has he owned the van? Here (last time I checked) we had 30 days to notify the insurance company. In the meanwhile, the newly purchased vahicle has the same coverage as your best covered auto. He needs to check with his agent.
 
Probably around 6 inches of snow here in mid west West Virginia, mountain areas were to get up to 31 inches today.
It's still snowing yet and our power was off for about 4 hours. Many places still out...
A lot of trees here still have leaves and those are the ones that are falling.
Really wet snow .... :roll:
I'm guessing school will still be out tomorrow.
 
They were forecasting Sandy to hit us with a minimum of 100mm's of rain, winds in the 100kph range so folks around here started getting ready. Runs on genny's and other stuff - Costco was a sellout almost on water and other essentials. So far Sandy is a non-event. Not much wind, a little mist, we had rain yesterday morning but less than 3-5mm's. Tomorrow we are forecasted to be 18C with approximately 10mm's of rain. We shall see. I am just glad we didn't get hit and I am relieved that most of our East Coast Cubbers are safe and sound.
 
Just in case we have not had an update on Cecil, We talked to him this afternoon and he has power back, but not internet access. They are doing fine ,other than the power outage the had very few problems.

Must have paid cash for the van. Down here you have to have tag and insurance to drive off the dealer's lot I think. And if the truck weights over 4000#, you have to buy enough tag to cover truck and payload.

He had it less than a week. I didn't ask, but the owner must have driven it there and removed the tags after closing the deal. Insurance laws vary from State to State and insurance companies have a lot of clout here since it is a major industry in the State.
 
In the Berkshires, damage by wind was a few trees here and there. Power company/tele co. had trucks out and parked in strategic areas awaiting damage control -- I was impressed at their planning. Saw a pair of pines on a roof, leaning...otherwise folks seemed to have survived. Traveled into NY state yesterday to Hawthorne Valley and the story was the same.
 
We dogded the bullet here, it seems most the time we were actually in the eye of the storm, pulled 24hr straight storm duty never lost power
at home or on the job, fence is up and hope everyone else faired as well. I was wondering if Bill( beaconlight) was on Staton Island or Franklin???
 
we lost powerearly monday afternoon and got it back this morning at 4am. lots of wind here and luckily my new roof held up fine, i was a little concerned about that because its not even a week old.
