Most Talking Machines Float

Post by briankeith »

If you live on the East Coast or even 300 miles or so in-land,,, move your machines to higher ground. 10-12 inches of rain in the next 24-36 hours here in Northern New Jersey!

Not bad in Bergenfield at the present time. Gusty winds and light rain on and off. A recent path projection predicts landfall a bit further south.

Float? Maybe a tall Standard with a tight box but a Spring Motor or Triumph would make a good anchor! Keep them upstairs!

Still not too bad in northern Delaware. We now have a waterfront property, but the water is staying away from the house so far. Wind doesn't seem to be too bad either, but we're a bit shielded by trees and hills. Hope it stays that way. I have machines on every floor, so I can keep them playing...

High winds here in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania. We are right in the projected path of Sandy as it (she? he?) moves inland. Surprisingly, not too much rain has fallen in recent hours, although there was a moderate amount earlier. Overnight should tell the tale. Forecasts say things will calm down after midday tomorrow (Tuesday). So far, so good.

Nothing here in Romney, WV. A lot of steady, but not heavy rain. Had some leakage around a couple chimneys, but nothing else. Had to help my neighbors bail some water out of their basement.
