BombshellSteph Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 A shutter blew off my house and smashed into my SHO....:mad::mad::mad2::mad2: Needless to say, a lot of curse words came out but it was so windy and raining I couldn't get a good look at the areas it hit and bounced along... I will check when this weather clears up... Stupid storm probably doesn't even have insurance for me to make a claim against. Typical. Hope everyone is the northeast is doing okay.

bpd1151 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Prayers for you and all that are being affected by this event. Quick story to share, while driving back from LMS's Customer Appreciation Day last week, I was amazed to quite literally see truck upon truck upon truck, for miles upon miles upon miles, all caravaning East bound on the I80 toll road. They were all electric company trucks from various states I presumed were heading East to help out with expected utility repairs. Just when I was amazed by that sight alone, I came across two separate, truck only rest stops, where each parking lot (besides the trucks caravaning East) each rest stop was filled with hundreds of utility company trucks all parked with their respective orange emergency lights flashing. It was quite surreal. As I could imagine the scene being surreal on the East Coast for those effected by Hurricane / Tropical Storm "Sandy".

mjhpadi Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 It's been pretty amazing here. Coming back from the Instructor Examination yesterday we passed a line of utility trucks heading east...think they were New Jersey bound since we were close to the Pennsylvania boundary when we passed them. Here we have had rain all day with some winds that were strong enough to get everyone's attention. Not sure what we will find in the morning but we're hoping that we don't find much damage in our area...now just waiting to see how much more rain and if it's enough to cause flooding.

Steph, I believe the damage to the car will be covered under the comprehensive part of your auto policy...when someone threw stones that hit my hood, that's how it was covered. Also because it was under the comprehensive part, it meant that there was no deductible to pay. Good luck, hope the damage is minimal.

Night Hawk Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 After a long day at work, I ended up opening my door to put my gear in my car, and a gust caught it bouncing it off one of my coworkers side step up bars on his Nissan pickup, no visible damage to either vehicle but ice water in the veins moment regardless, oh well. ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblues38 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 , I was amazed to quite literally see truck upon truck upon truck, for miles upon miles upon miles, all caravaning East bound on the I80 toll road. They were all electric company trucks from various states I presumed were heading East to help out with expected utility repairs. There are companies in Missouri and oklahoma that their entire business model is storm chasing. They contract out for line repair and tree trimming. the tornados we had last year in missouri and some ice storms in the past are great examples. They base out of the missouri oklahoma area because they can respond and hit eaither coast or border N-S_E-W in under 24 hours. And they RAKE in the ca$h.

SpoolinX2 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 We were pretty lucky here in this part of WV. Lots of wind up to around 55mph and tons of rain. A lot of the local rivers are like 3x their normal size. Other parts of the state to the west have had up to 2' of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hope you guys and your families are all OK. Cars too! The stuff on the news looks NASTY! Hopefully whatever car/home insurance you have asks no questions and gives no hassle. We have State Farm's corporate office here along with Country Companies in central IL. I know both have disaster response teams they send out when this stuff happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieSHO Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I live in Northern Virginia and decided to spend the night at some friends' house farther out west to ride out the storm and get into a safer location - seems like it's getting to be a regular occurrence what with our derecho back in June. [Note to self: NEVER buy a new car two days before you KNOW there's a FrankenStorm coming!] The wind was strong enough that it was rocking the car while I was sitting at stoplights. I wasn't expecting that considering how heavy this car is! Luckily no damage to house or car, and it turned out the power only went out for about 5 minutes (it was out for 3 days when the derecho hit). Anyway, hope the damage was minimal if any Steph.

mjhpadi Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Still raining (although, lightly) here in Central Pennsylvania....it's been raining ever since early afternoon on Sunday. Not complaining....it could have been a lot worse here. We had lots of rain and wind but no damage, so the rain is bearable. Hope everyone else gets things back to normal quickly.
