I’m confused. The storm is an “act of God” yet we pray to God not to get smashed by his storm. Wouldn’t it save everyone a lot of time if God just didn’t create these killer storms in the first place?
I suppose if someone dies, it will be “God’s will”. I for one plan to hold God responsible for any damages.
I don't have the slightest idea what it was but I'm thinking that the camera was adjusted for nightvision so it seemed brighter than it was. I think if it really was that big the news would have mentioned it. (I've been watching the news the past 4 hours)
Edit: After watching it over again my current theory is a transformer blew, those things can be pretty impressive when they go.
All of my deck furniture is tied together. I have a giant pile of furniture moving around my deck for the last 3 hours. Power is on, cable/inet is out. On iPad over wireless hotspot via blackberry.
I sure hope the wind stops soon or I don’t think we’ll have much siding left on the house.
+1 on thee prayers! I have some large limbs down in the back yard but still have power and Internet. Wind is bad and its raining but the really hard rain still hasn't hit yet.
Rode it out so far here in Ephrata, Pennsylvania (Near Lancaster), Had to stay up in shifts all night in case we needed to fire up generator, but power has stayed.
Quite a few homes in my township without power, next door neighbor lost a pretty good sized tree.
I have not ventured out yet to see surrounding area.
For being where the eye passed very near us, I feel Blessed.
Thanks for the prayers and continue to pray for those hardest hit in NY.

I hope as many people as possible make it thru okay. On youtube the video says it’s The initial explosion at the Con Ed Plant, E14th and FDR in New York City.
