Anyone else on the East Coast following this storm? Sounds like it may get scary here in the Northeast.

@stardustintheeyes:  I think I’m just more scared than normal because there was a tornado like 3-4 miles from my house over the weekend. We usually don’t get tornados in the part of PA in which I live, especially not in October.

I LOVE storms so I’m excited for it. I don’t expect it to be like Hurricane Katrina or anything.

I am in Florida I will feel the effects but I am not in the “cone” but we know these storms are so unpredictable. I suggest preparing like you will be a direct hit lots of water and non-pershable foods, batteries, flash light, candles, etc. I prepare everytime to be safe. I hope the storm just goes northwest and stays!!!!!

Yea have been tracking it for a few days since my dad dabbles in meterology (my family has weird hobbies haha). Hoping it’s not as bad as they’re saying and I will keep myself prepared for the worst, but I’m in NYC and after all of the hoop-la over Hurricane Irene I am skeptical.

Our sixth graders are supposed to go to Philly on Monday to go to the Zoo…looks like the trip will be cancelled!  I hope it doesn’t get too bad in Central PA (where we live) because I have to drive 20 miles on the highway to work.  I hate highway driving in bad weather.

@Klein2bReidy:  I work at a grocery store, so I’m sure that the rest of this week is going to be crazy with people preparing. I need to make sure I grab a flashlight. I just moved and I don’t have one!

@peachacid:  I’m in Central PA too! I’m extremely thankful I only live about .5 miles from either of my jobs. After the storm last weekend, I’m even more scared than normal.

@MrsSanchizel:  They are saying it is going to be bad, especially if the storms collide.

@graygodess20:  It’s crazy stuff. It happened in the middle of the night with NO warning from the National Weather Service. I was away for the weekend, but my neighbors tell me that we lost power for about 12 hours.

Last year we had this same freak storm leave my whole entire state (about 99% of us) with no power for a week or more. Such a coincidence this is happening again exactly a year later. I hope it doesn’t affect us too much.

@armychica06:  Ugh… The 8 days we had to wait for the power to come back after that storm was the worst ever. It’s like that week didn’t even happen to me because I hate to remember how awful it was.
