Ughh... it's looking like it's not going to be too bad until around midnight. I can't wait to get the phone call to come into work at 1 or 2 in the morning lol. Nothing like cleaning catch basins and moving trees off the road in the middle of a storm.

Anyone know where I can find out if roads are closed? What about travel bans?

Yeqh I checked that before I left. I'm stuck in a parking lot on route 1! My headlights went out and I can't see anything. I'm waiting for a break in the storm to head out again using my fogs...

Dude, I probably talked to you a few times then lol I guess you work for Monsen?

I was in Somerset an hour ago, just got back to Old Bridge. Roads were starting to flood like when we get a really bad thunderstorm, but this is only the beginning... River road and Landing Lane were already pretty flooded but the river didn't get over the roadway as of 11:30.

Nothing is really happening around here. It's just raining, barely windy.
I've yet to get called into work, think we are on stand by til morning time.

SRGN 08-28-2011 02:15 AM

It dies out and picks up, I'm wide awake so I will just watch everything unfold I guess.

Yeah I went to bed at 7:30ish cause I was expecting a call. Now I'm wide awake which sucks cause I'm not going to get called in until tomorrow morning probably :-x

The roads around here don't look bad, haven't lost power or internet. Shouldn't be too bad of a clean up around town.

WayFast84 08-28-2011 02:28 AM

It's terrible in plainsboro. Couple of down trees and the river is now about 3 feet from our road..

It's not supposed to be bad until morning time.

Hopefully the 38,000lb loader doesn't blow away before we clean up :lol:

WayFast84 08-28-2011 03:53 AM

I'm so ****ed... should've just quit instead of coming in..just found another huge leak and changed a bucket that was filled to the top..I don't know why I am running this place right now...

What is a good radio station for the storm update?

deadtrend1 08-28-2011 07:04 AM

We havent had power here for most. Of the night. May fire up the camper generator and watch some tv.

greenformula92 08-28-2011 08:07 AM

never lost power here on brick, haven't ventured out yet, im going to wait till the last rain band moves over and take a walk to the metedoconk since its only 3 blocks away and check that out.....guys be safe, don't do anything dumb...the worst of it is behind is but we still have a little ways to go
