If you are in the path of the storm, good luck to you.
If you are in a low-lying coastal area (NY, NJ, DE, CR, RI, MA) and you haven't bugged out, then you may be a few bricks short of a full hod. Not only is Hurricane Sandy blowing up a storm surge, but there is a full moon today, which means that high tides would normally be higher before the storm surge is added on. Some clowns are staying behind to "experience the storm"-- well, it's their funeral. And this time around, that's not just a colloquialism. Going up against a hurricane is like bringing a plate of pasta to an artillery bombardment.
The replica of the HMS Bounty is likely going to be lost.
A lot of the shelters that have been set up to evacuate people have finally broken the code: People won't abandon their pets. So they've set up pens and crates for the animals to stay in (and where their owners/staff can visit them).
(Oh, and if you're a Tigers fan, it sucks to be you.)
UPDATE: The ship sank, two crewmen are missing.

Shelter in place here. We're far enough from the low dirt to be safe from floods. Wind is a concern. I am also keeping the Hurricane Watch Net up on the 20M radio.
The Bounty crew is being recovered by USCG and the ship has gone down by reports. The ocean is vast and my ship is small. What in the world were they doing out in this.
Eck!
Glad to see the shelters are dealing with the reality of pets. I could abandon mine if my life depended on it, but for my "stuff" and my convenience? Nope. I'd rather sit in the dark, wrapped in a blanket.
