    Default NYC.. insane wind,rain,thunder,lightning.. the aftermath on my block

    My neighbor was banging on my door this morning, telling me to come out
    a few GIANT trees fell, and are blocking my street
    a car 20 feet in front of me is crushed in 2 pieces
    the car behind me has a smashed hood and windshield

    there is a 200+lb tree 2 inches from my car..
    my car didnt get a single scratch..
    no one was hurt either....
    .. does anyone want tonights lottery numbers? lol

    Holy shit, they weren't kidding. I heard about that mess in BK this morning.


    I'm in NJ, and I heard that loud thunder this morning. It woke me up early. It took me for ever to get to work this morning. Couldn't drive through any street, it was like a maze!

    It was pouring at 5:00 AM in RT. Thunder, lighting. Screwed up everyones commute. While I was watching channel 4 news they kept talking about a swirling area that they were tracking with the doppler. I guess it swirled on over your way. Glad you're ok. What part of Brooklyn? Hubby has family in Greenpoint.

    I would just like to report my very first psychic vision this morning: as I started to wake up in very sunny Albuquerque, a real clear image of a very ugly part of NJ in the pouring rain came to my head, looked like Newark with an ugly yellow bridge and I was like, there for a lil while tho it wasn't a dream. I was kind of joking to myself, hmm I wonder if it's really raining there, followed by thoughts of, wow I just *love* that depressing rain so early in the morning, esp. in winter, etc. etc. and that of course there is beauty everywhere, sometimes especially in the garden state.

    I hate being woken up by thunder too, but it saved me once as I was entering what was promising to be a nightmare that you remember forever...

    Man, this reminds me of the storm that we had last summer here in St Louis. We had a huge storm that shut off half the city's power. Then two, days later, had another one that left almost the entire city without power, some for up to two weeks. Ameren is a POS.
