I like to know ahead of time, as i don't always watch tv but read you every morning.

Keep the updates coming. I read them all.

The preparation info is repetitive if you've been an adult for a while, BUT there are always a number of young people who are just on their own for the first time and may not have paid attention, or lived in this area their whole lives. Different areas of the country have different weather emergencies to prepare for - information is good.

I recently moved to this area, I have heard about the snowstorm last October. I am taking early lunch today and going to buy a few items to get through just in case. Flashlight, canned foods, ice and a cooler, I know it's probably overreacting, but I have a huge honking tree right out over the electric lines coming into the house, so I am not taking chances. Been through tropical storms back in Alabama, and I have a good idea what to expect there, but up here it may be a different ballgame.

I am new to Wellesley from Los Angeles, so I have a lot of experience with earthquakes but not hurricanes! I find the info & updates very helpful. Thanks!

The Fire Chief told us to always keep an electric can opener in the house. Best advice I have ever heard for a hurricane.

The latest weather map from the National Hurricane Center shows Hurricane Sandy running over Washington. Maybe that will give the rest of us a few days of relief from the near constant bombardment of electioneering propaganda.

I appreciate being informed but wish that the City Of Newton would step up and take care of all of the dead trees that are around Newton! These trees will easily fall and cause plenty of damage. How about the City of Newton preventing this from happening?

Dee Keough, you took the words right out of my mouth; AJ must have been either joking or the fire chief was joking. Or there is some wonderful, McGyver-esque use for a can-opener that I don't know about!

Well-played, JJoseph, well-played.

Best items to have to prepare for storms/ power outages are: candles, matches, bottled water, charcoal grill, cooler and ice, battery operated radio, non perishable foods.,and of course, that hand held can opener :-). Ive been through countless Hurricane and tropical storm scares, and this list will keep you fed and entertained while you wait.

Experts advise a diet, an exclusive diet, of Hostess Twinkies and Makers Scotch for storms like this one.

I got 3 flippin emails from my insurance company today to remind me there was hurricane coming, telling me to stay safe, and what to do.
I can understand sending me one, but 3?????

I think I got everything I needed yesterday at lunch. This morning I rented a chainsaw and cut a bunch of overhanging branches from this huge oak tree in my front yard. I like my friends idea: He went to Cancun for a short vacation. He emails me this morning and has decided to stay Wednesday or Thursday! Now thats avoiding the storm! LOLOLOL . I will be watching the newscasts all weekend. Take care out there.

they have begun trying to lower http://www.coachoutletmls.com expectations.Consolidated Edison, for example, tucked an especially http://www.hemesbelscq.com dire note into a news release on Thursday afternoon.
