I am not sure who does and does not live within the line of impact for Hurricane Sandy, but I wanted to just say please be safe...it looks like this one is going to be pretty bad.

I live about fifteen minutes outside of Baltimore City, where Hopkins is (which is under mandatory evacuation now) so we are supposed to get hit pretty hard. I'm kind of scared, but also interested...lol. We always get the, "You'll get heavy rain!" but never this! So, to some of us, it is exciting in a way. Nevertheless, we are prepared.

Please be safe, y'all!

I am by Columbus Ohio, and we are just starting to get the affects today....Tomorrow they are saying will be worse and possibly rain the next 12 days straight! I know someone on here mentioned about their HA's being worse and wondering if it was from this storm....Well, I woke up today with the worst HA and nausea, since I went off my meds!!! OMG, it's terrible today! I am hoping and praying it is from the pressure from this storm coming thru because I do NOT want to go back on those awful meds again!!!.....Stay safe and keep us all updated....I am also interested, like you said....I just wonder if we will get it as bad as they say we are!

HUGS

I'm okay headache wise. I actually feel fine. But then again I have not had a single headache for 22 days now, lol. (Thank you, Topamax!) You know it's bad here when Hopkins has closed ALL outpatient centers tomorrow...sooooo...that tells ya something!

We, at my house, have a light pole down the block next to ours...and we have been informed that they said it is supposed to come right over us and stall for 24-36 hours. So maybe I'm not really looking forward to THAT part, lol. It's raining, obviously, and windy, but we have not even gotten close to our worst yet.

The fact that I am able to type to you, that I still have power, should tell you that it is not bad yet...just wanted to update y'all.
