The Weather watchers are Hiping this storm as "The Perfect Storm II. My Case friends posted pics yesterday out in MN. of all the snow they got. That Canadian snow storms they got, and Huricain Sandy are supose to colide over the whole NE. The Big Boxes have sold out of Gens., Flashlights, Bats, etc.
I did go out to the garage and test fired my Yanmar Diesel Gen Set. Bat. was dead so I charged it, and it started on first rev. Wow, it haden't been run for 2 yrs.
35 miles south east of me, people are moving their belongings to higher ground, because they lost everything a little over a year ago to Storms,Irene and Lee. The Gilboa Dam is being lowered in an unpresidented move and the Erie Canal system is being lowered in areas where flooding has regullarly occured. Maybe over reaction, but power crews have be put on aleart from neighoring states west of us, and everyone is preparing for what (will or Will not) happen on Mon. and Tue. here in the North East. I'm ready, how about the rest of you in the NE?

I see were thinking alike. I live in tioga county and we got hammered last fall. Thank God I live above the flood plain but could look out my lawn and see people not so fortunate
 
Well, Loren, as you said, may be over reacting, but as they say, better to err on the safe side. If they said it was not going to be very bad and missed it, well, you know how it goes. I do hope for the sake of all concerned that it does not turn out to be as bad as they anticipate. I live in central North Carolina, and although our coast suffers quite a bit from hurricanes, the only thing we generally get is a lot of rain. Occasionally one will decide to take the "scenic route" and turn inland. I lost about half of my roof a little over twenty years ago when one blew through. Homeowners took care of it. We will be watching for your reports.

I plan on filling up my Gas cans ....My loose electricity. with all the4 rain that we may get, I cant afford for my sump pump in basement to stop.
 
Those small Yanmar Diesel engines are great. I bought a lot of them for ADOT for various applications. We used the small air cooled Diesel engines to drive alternators to supply current to arrowboards and message boards. Very quiet and vibration free. Larger liquid cooled engines were used on units to light work sites.
 
Yes were ready Loren! We did fine last summer, were at 1450 feet elevation!!,, gonna fill gas cans today, and clean the leaves out of the gutters on the roof, maybe pick up leaves on the lawn again! Sounds like NYC and Jersey are gonna get hit harder than use, also Buffalo may get alot of rain! but you never know.
