 Snowpuppy4998 PostsJoined 12/2/2005Up North, MI Got back from a short trip to Indiana. On the way back I passed several convoys of utility truck crews heading East on the Indiana Toll Road. One company from as far away as Colorado. Prayers for safe travels and to be kept safe on their journey to the East Coast.

Here in the NY/NY/CT area preparations are really being made ahead by utilities, Local govts etc. I noticed just in my little town trucks checking out trees. "They" are taking it very seriously Escher1351382063.0571150 PostsRegistered 10/24/2012Where? Praying for all. .

Then I passed one Opportunist Guy who had a truck full of new portable generators including a few strapped to the roof. He should make a fortune. clemintine1351388160.4717416 PostsRegistered 11/5/2007C.C. good to know....because we are possibly getting sustained winds of 80mph for 3 days. every time there's a weather forecast the stats are worse..... thankfully DH was able to fix the generator love a good storm....but I'm not thinking this is going to be one of those 'good' storms it's a combo of a n'or easter and a hurricane, the leaves are still on the trees, so damage may be extensive and when it picks up a cold front there may be snow.

We love the power companies !

As I was exiting off the Toll Road to head for MI, there was another line of trucks entering the Toll Road. Creepy and reassuring at the same time. I saw this thing was going to collide with a snow maker. Whatever happens, be prepared as you can and stay safe. sgraham301351434299.2571812 PostsRegistered 6/2/2006 ComEd from IL is sending 700 employees to help out with the aftermath.

My step-son is driving to the east coast to get supplies there along with many co-workers that will be sent to the area. Life is like a snowstorm...you'll meet a lot of flakes I think it is wonderful how the utilities help each other out like this. The one good thing about a hurricane is that you know it is coming and have time to get prepared for it. Not like a tornado that just happens so fast!

It's sure great to have time to be prepared and that everyone seems to want to help those in the storm's path.
