Boardwalk in Atlantic City at least partly destroyed. 8 to 10 foot surge going miles inland. Snow in the West Virginia mountains. Unbelievable!!

I've just been watching it on the morning news, it looks terrifying. 

Keep checking in guys so we know you're OK.

Windy, cold and snowing this morning. They still have the high wind warnings up through 18:00 tonight, but it looks like we got off easy. Like Lonny said, they have up to 2 feet of snow across the river in WV. Many power outages over there, too.

I just heard that 8 of the subway tunnels under the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn/Queens have flooded with salt water. It may be days before they can be reopened. The New York Stock Exchange will be closed for a second day, the first two day closer since the 1880's.

7 million homes without power.  Queens NY burning.  Parts of NJ under 45ft water, 7 subway tunnels filled with salt water, and a 30 ton crane hanging by its cables 30 stories up about 3 blocks from a friends place in midtown east.

It's a lot worse than most expected.

I've been watching it on the American weather channel Scott, it's terrible.

Now it appears data centers are down in NYC which hosts tons of websites.  Some are mirrored, some not.

Wow, I forgot all about this today - just remembered. Looks serious - I hope the death toll doesn't go up any more. All the best to anyone in the thick of it.
