Pure DWTS in Sandy’s Path
Hey there everyone!
I don’t need to tell anyone about the arrival of Hurricane Sandy, and how she is going to pummel the NorthEast of the United States. I don’t need to tell anyone that this is an icredibly HUGE storm, and that it isn’t going to simply “go away with only a whisper.” Yes, it would be nice!
Already in the comments, I’ve seen people mention that they’re in the path, and I’ve seen others asking for safety…
One reason I like this site, is that people who are here regularly develop a camaraderie, and a friendship and a respect, even though we all have different thoughts and feelings and favorite pros and celebrities. We find friendships.
Sandy is about to wreak havoc across a HUGE portion of the United States, from Maine to Virginia, and as far west as Indiana and Illinois! With the possibility that I have underestimated her reach!
NO ONE wants to lose track of people we’ve come to know here on Pure, so here’s a place to check in, and let those who AREN’T in the path or affected, know who you are, and how things are going, for as long as you have power.
SAFETY FIRST! If you’re in an area that has an evacuation order, PLEASE follow the order, and keep yourself and your family as safe as possible!!! Hopefully by now, you have some water and non perishables stored away, and candles and flashlights, or if you’re lucky, a generator, if you’re able to stay put.
When possible, check in HERE, and let us know who you are, and a GENERAL area, just to track the storm. And, what’s currently happening.
My check in would simply say, Lori in Upstate New York, and there’s nothing happening on Sunday night. I don’t think we’re expecting anything until Monday or Tuesday… My kids still have school scheduled for Monday morning!
Please let us know if you’re in the path of Sandy, and when you can, check in as soon as possible!
Great post idea, Lori and please be safe. I just heard that there could be power outages all the way into Indiana and Illinois from this storm on the weather channel. Please be safe all and keep us posted on everything. xxxx
Sandy in Southeast Pennsylvania, we have some rainfall right now, Sunday night and I believe the storm will start to pick up sometime Monday or Tuesday, Kids are out of school as of now, until Wednesday. We have a generator ready to go.
This is such a great idea! Friends concerned about Friends. Thank you!
(((Sandy))) Be safe. I’m so glad you have a generator.
Courtney in Indianapolis. Things are calm here – no sign of Sandy yet. But we do have a wind advisory starting at 5 pm tomorrow, continuing through Tuesday.
Mama Spence is on vacay in Marco Island, FL – no rain there but the wind has been gusting since yesterday. Warm temps, but 45 mph winds are making sunbathing almost impossible.
Ashley in southern Massachusetts – light rain fall at the moment, the worse is expected tomorrow afternoon to evening with heaving winds up to 75MPH. We are in the area to “likely” loose power. Several surrounding towns have been ordered to evacuate the low-laying areas. All schools and work locations have been cancelled for tomorrow. We are in a state of emergengy.
I’m in the path but they said that where I am its only going to be rain, wind, and possible loss of electricity. Saying that, they are 90% of the time wrong so I am expecting a lot of rain and no electricity like the last one.
Wishing my fam. had a generator though. I’d feel safer.
This is such a great idea. I’m in Alabama, not in the path of the storm but my thoughts are with everyone who is. I look forward to hearing that you are all safe and sound! 🙂
Sara in northern Virginia. We’re also in a state of emergency. Low lying areas have been evacuated and schools and government facilities have been closed for tomorrow. The next county over has already closed facilities on Tuesday too.
Even though I am here in E. Tennessee, we have had light wind and light rain. My heart goes out to those who are going to be hit hard with this powerful storm. Praying for everyone, asking God for safety for all.
I’m in Minnesota (hence the cryptic MN part of my name ;)). Everyone in the East though, stay safe!
I read in another thread about this people on this website being “cruel” in their comments and I think this thread proves that person wrong. There maybe some snarkiness when it comes to some of the people on the show, but when it comes to something serious, I think the you see the people on this board are pretty good people.
It was very considerate of Lori to post this, I think, and it’ll be nice to see how everyone is doing. Jennifer in Nevada is not in any danger from the storms back east, but I’ll be thinking of everyone.
I live in suburban Philadelphia. According to the last track I saw the eye is supposed to go right over us (although we’re inland so that doesn’t mean the same thing that would mean on the coast). Hoping for the best. No work tomorrow since Philadelphia has shut down all public transportation.
I’m from Virginia. I live 10 mins away from DC and just like DC we are going to be hit hard. Not sure if I’ll be able to watch DWTS tomorrow. We have a generator and hopefully things will go well. My Aunt had a generator but somehow it stopped working the last hurricane we had. So I don’t know what will happen when we get hit.
I’m in northern NJ and preparing for Sandy. I went to work today because it is month end close time. We were told on Friday to be professionals and that deadlines had to be met. Nice huh? I guess lucky for us, our New York corporate offices have to be closed because the subways and buses stopped running tonight at 7 PM. So they e-mailed us that the offices will be closed. From reports I’ve heard, I’m guessing Wednesday will be the first day we could go back if power is available at the office. So, I’m sure they will make us work extra long hours to complete the close. Lovely!
It’s so nice to hear all the concern from my fellow DWTS fans. I know I’ll be able to see the show OnDemand, but I won’t be able to vote if my cable goes out. If you can, please throw some votes to Shawn & Derek for me if I am without power. I’ll keep in touch. Thanks everyone!
I’m in Central Virginia (Charlottesville) and they’re predicting high winds and heavy rain starting tomorrow around noon. Right now moderate rain and light winds. I’m prepared this time, though! My wood is cut for the wood stove and I have candles, water and non-perishables. Hopefully we will still have power tomorrow. Good luck everyone!
Praying you all get through this monster storm safely. I’m thankful to be far away from the storm’s path in Kansas.
In DC, have my phone charged so I can at least get a few votes in for Apolo one way or another… might steal my husband’s phone, too.
Had to go to 5 stores before we could stock up on water today, it’s getting crazy here! Stay safe everyone!
Good luck and prayers to everyone in the path. This is one storm that won’t be impacting middle Tennessee, thank goodness.
@Lena, I’m in the DC area too! Although, not nearly as close as you. I’m about an hour away, but here’s hoping we’re both able to watch the show tomorrow night.
Yes I am in the path of Sandy, I am in Pennsylvania. It won’t be as bad as people are saying, I am pretty far from the coast so we will get high winds and 4 inches of rain not bad. but thanks for worrying.
I’m from western Canada just wanted to let everyone on the eastern coast of the US know that I’m thinking of you. Stay safe.
Thanks everyone….and here’s hoping Hurricane Sandy “moves out to sea”.
The storms remnants are expected to push far into Canada as well. Hoping everyone in it’s path will get through safely!
Zach in central Mississippi. Everything is fine here except things have gotten pretty cold ( By Mississippi standards 😛 ) and somewhat windy. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Sandy’s path. I really appreciate this post, Lori. The people on this website are really great. 🙂
Faby in the CA desert, where the weather is mostly boring compared to yours and to my earlier years on the coasts of Maine and Massachusetts. I’ll be thinking of all of you and wishing you safe and well. Great to hear from you!
First I want to say it’s sweet you’ve initiated this. Thanks Lori!
I’m Rooster (gonna keep the pseudonym) in New York City. I’m staying at my boyfriend’s place which is on the top floor of an apartment building that is already in an elevated area. I packed quite a bit of stuff and we got to his place, safely and easily, this afternoon. We have lots of supplies. So I’m feeling cozy and not worried so far. Just sad my evening meditation groups are canceled! My folks live in Maryland and I think they’re fine. They were worried for me but we’ve been emailing so it’s good.
I hope everyone is doing well!
Metta (lovingkindness),
R
My prayers go out to everyone in the path of the storm. Please don’t take any chances…keep yourself safe.
Sending my prayers and best wishes to everyone within Sandy’s reach. May you, your families, and pets stay safe and well.
(I’m in SE Wisconsin – we might get some of the remains of the wind and rain Tuesday)
I’m on the other side of the country, but watching and praying you’ll all be safe and sound.
Thanks Lori for doing this post. It’s amazing to read about where everyone is from. I’m lucky to be in Las Vegas, but I’ll be sure to remember this thread when it’s 115 out and remember that other places have it much worse.
Do let us know how things are. My business partner is in DC and we have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning. We’ll see how that goes. I hope everyone stays safe.
Reporting from Western Washington State, I am sending my best wishes to all my fellow Pure DWTS posters effected by Sandy. Please stay safe.
Memere in Western Massachusetts … 2:00 a.m., Monday morning, and light rain is falling. We’re expecting lots more rain and winds of up to 75 mph throughout today, and continuing into tomorrow. Schools have been closed for (at least) today. Fortunately most of the trees have already lost their leaves in my area, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed our beautiful old oak and maple trees, which surround our house, will stand strong in the face of ‘Sandy’. I’m hoping we don’t lose power so I can see the show tonight … and get my votes in!
Take Care everyone!!!!
Sally here – I live in NC, but I’m on vacay this week, so I’m safe, sound, and praying for everyone in the path. Please stay safe!!!! And thanks, Lori, for doing this!
Patty from Northeast Ohio, we’ve had a couple days of rain and are expecting lots more with high winds. Not worried though we might lose electricity. Stay safe all of you in the path. I’ll be praying for you!
I’m Kaitlyn in northeast Massachusetts. I’m off to work but all schools are closed. Crossing my fingers the trains don’t stop running mid day so I can make it home!
Thanks everybody for all you do here and for the great concern. I just started coming to the site a few weeks ago but it’s already proving to be a great site with an amazing community. Even though everybody has differing opinions, it’s a great place to connect with others about the show!
Carolyn and I am in Maine. Storm will hit late Monday. Thank you for all you good thoughts and prayers.
I’m Karen, in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. We’ve got light rain this morning (Mon.), but we’re expecting 2-4″ with strong winds later today into Tuesday. Hope the shingles stay on the roof & the electricity stays on! Good luck everyone!
I live in Central Pennsylvania. I hope and pray we don’t lose our power. I will be heartbroken if I can’t watch the shows this week. I know I can online eventually. But please pray for us we get through the storm with our power intact. But we have DirecTV and that can go flooey too. So either way I think I am screwed!
Since there is a large significant portion of viewers who might lose their power, I wish ABC woukd re-run the shows on Saturday night or later in the week. That way we could probably be back up and running by then.
Oh well I will see them online sometime if I can’t tonight and tomorrow night.
In Illinois. Nothing has happened yet. Praying everyone is safe. I’m grateful we haven’t been hit yet.
Morning update from Upstate NY… It’s amazingly calm outside right now, but it’s not going to stay that way! They have said it’ll start around noon-time, and the worst should be tonight, and into tomorrow morning. We definitely are going to get hit, the last model that I saw, had the eye of the hurricane cutting diagonally across PA, and turning northward in Central PA, and hitting NYS about 50 miles west of me!
Lori, et al, praying for all of y’all. Being from Louisiana, I’ve done this a time or two. The best advice is to listen to your government officials (for once) when they give evacuation orders or tell you to stay home. This storm could get downgraded at the last minute and not be as bad, but you never know. Hunker down with your loved ones and pets and stay safe! Much love to you all!!!
Winnie, in Weisbaden, Germany…. Just want everyone in Sandy’s path to know that my thoughts & prayers are with you all this very moment…. Born & raised in Guam, believe me, I’ve had my share of going through what we call “Typhoon” so needless to say, I truly feel for each & everyone of you & I wish you all nothing but the very best…. Take Care & May the Good Lord protect each & everyone you all….
I’m in Winnipeg, MB Canada so I am out of the path. But the weather channel just said southern Ontario is on alert. This is one ugly powerful storm if it is expected to make it that far. So EVERYONE in the path please stay safe. Remember if they tell you to evacuate, just go. Things can be replaced – you can’t.
I’m in Illinois, about 20 minutes from Chicago, and right now we’re just being told to expect 60+ mph winds but not much rain. The problem is the winds on the lake will threaten flooding along the lakeshore and could affect the power. Everyone, please stay safe and let us know how you’re doing if you can!
Prayers for all of you!!!
I’m from Maine and we have a flooding and high wind warning in a effect starting at 2 P.M. today but from the looks of it outside i think we are going to meet sandy sooner rather then later. Hope my power stays on long enough to see Dancing with the stars tonight. Be safe everyone.
Great thread idea Lori!
Hi! I’m Kelly in NE Ohio, along the shores of Lake Erie about 75 miles east of Cleveland. We’re expecting to get hit later this afternoon…just in time for me to get ready to go to work, I’m sure! I’m an RN in an adult ICU at a small hospital in an semi-urban city in PA. So, I’ll be working for sure. Hubby works in the same town as well on 2nd shift…don’t know what’ll happen if they lose power at his plant. We have generators at the hospital which I’m sure will kick in. So, I wait. Stay safe everyone!
Rachel from SE PA, just like Sandy.
Monday 845 update:
-off school
-rain
-no wind
-still have power
-no water in basement
I’m really hoping all that stays exactly the same 😉
Stay safe, everyone!
Stay safe all and thanks for your posts!! I’m thinking and praying for all of you here in a cold but calm Wyoming (knock on wood)!! Please continue to keep us posted! Jim Cantore of the weather channel (one of my Hero’s lol), just tweeted that winds will hit the NYC area tonight at 90MPH with an “historic storm surge”. Please be safe.
Cidra from North Texas – Sending good thoughts and prayers to all who are in harm’s way. Keep Calm & Carry On…and please, stay safe. :hugs:
My parents live in Central PA, so they’ll be in this mess.
Be safe everyone. This is Linde from central South Carolina, no signs of angry Sandy …. a few clouds, drop in temps a little, but nothing to be concerned with. I think she’s gonna bypass us altogether, but coastal NC and VA are bracing for a big one.
((((hugs)))), safety first, keep your wits about you!
Central PA, still kind of denial I guess. It’s been raining gently since yesterday and it’s no different today, at 9:15 am. School’s been canceled and we’re projected to get lots more rain, some wind, likely flooding, maybe power outage. Hope everyone stays safe out there.
Auntie Bellum from Florida’s oldest city….”Sandy” went by and kissed us lightly….we were lucky…have family and friends in NJ and eastern PA. Praying for everyone in the storm’s path. Take care and be safe.
This is an awesome idea for a post!! I’m in MD. Lots of school and business closings today in counties (also in a few other states) around me. Expecting possibly 4 inches of rain & flooding and mass poweroutages. Could take anywhere from a few days to over a week to get power back ( It was out for 5 days due to storm over the summer). The markets & walmarts are sold out of essentials ( I have everything, btw! ( : ). The worst is supposed to be to tonight. Maybe mother nature will be nice and not take out the power until 10 after the show? ; )
Keep checking in occasionally, as you’re able, and keep up informed! And stay safe!!
Schools here are closing early today, and we should all be home before the worst of the winds hit.
And, winds have started, not hard winds, we’re expecting 60-80mph winds. No rain yet.
I’m north of the border, so Sandy shouldn’t affect us as much. Still, we are told to expect gusts of wind up to 100 kph (i.e. 60mph). We’ll brace ourselves and think of our southern neighbours as they face the brunt of the storm.
Deena from Southeast Texas. Our last major hurricane was 2008, so I know what you are all going through. Thoughts and prayers to all in Hurricane Sandy’s path.
It’s almost 10:00 here in PA, the wind and rain are now starting to pick up.
I am somewhat concerned for my cousin, she departed on a cruise on Friday, and the images of a cruiseship have come across the television, OMG, that ship is rocking back and forth like it’s a feather. Hope and pray for my cousin Karen, that she stays safe and secure.
Stay strong everyone.
Dyann here in PA, I live in a suburb just outside of Philly, pretty windy and rainy right now, I’m praying that when it gets worse we’ll be safe and won’t lose power! Fingers crossed and prayers out to everyone out there dealing with the storm! I know it’s going to be a rough one because my job is closed, and that rarely ever happens! Stay safe everyone!
Miri in Ottawa, Ontario here. It’s calm right now, but we’re expected to get the remnants of the storm (but not as bad as further south in the province). Thinking of everyone who is getting slammed by the storm – seeing the pictures online is scary.
I’m Katie from Northern NJ, very close to NYC, and so far we have extremely high winds, and here and there a drizzle. I’m told the storm is really supposed to hit us hard tonight and this afternoon though. No school for today and tuesday, most likely back on wednesday. Our town hasn’t canceled trick-or-treating or goosey night yet….and I hope the power doesn’t go out before I get to watch kelly and val!!!
I’m still sending warm thoughts to everyone. I keep checking the weather and hoping for the best for everyone in the path of the storm.
Sandy, I will say an extra prayer for your cousin Karen! I’ve been on a cruise ship in choppy weather…Ouch.
Vogue, Jim Cantore is beyond awesome! I love him.
Glad to see everyone is still safe…take care of yourselves. For those of you who are Derek and Shawn fans I made a few extra email accounts in case you lose power. One time last year I lost power for one of the shows and I hated it…so hoping that doesn’t happen to any of you.
So, this post reminds me of what a small world we live in. From Heidi who lives in middle TN…I wonder if that means near Nashville, because I live about 100 miles from Nashville, to Bonnie from MN…I grew up in the great state of ND…to Lisa who lives in Winnipeg…we used to drive up from ND to go to the Horse Races there when I was in college.
What the girls have done is create a small town for us right here in the middle of the world wide web. Thanks!
Stay safe all, those of us not in harm’s way are thinking of those of you are!
Hi everybody, thank you for all the good thoughs and wishes, will try to stay safe.
So far it is OK in central new jersey, except noone on the roads.
Will try to post updates as time goes on.
It’s almost noon EST here and there’s no signs of wind or rain…YET! I’m half tempted to go take my shower NOW before I go lie down for a nap before work! I dunno what I’ll wake up too come 5pm!
I’ve been reading this site for quite a while without ever posting before, but feel compelled to now. To all of you in Sandy’s path, I’m thinking of you and hoping you’re safe. Just our usual rain here in western Oregon, but I have family in the DC area and lived on the NC coast for years, so understand the ordeal. Be safe!
Teresa in Colorado so I’m safe from the storm but all my family is in Cape May and Tom’s River, NJ(that lovely southern part of NJ which is in the path of the storm and possible for the brunt of it). Praying all are safe from the storm.
Also- I have 13 accounts to vote on, given that this storm will prevent a lot of voting, if you are in the path of the storm and might lose power,let me know who you want votes for, I’m saving 3 accounts for Val and Kelly but the others are up for grabs!
PLEASE BE SAFE ALL AND IF YOU HAVE TO LEAVE LEAVE! MATERIAL THINGS CAN BE BOUGHT BUT YOU ARE OUR PUREDWTS FAMILY AND WE CANNOT REPLACE YOU!
I am surprised how many posters live in Pennsylvania. Wow.
It’s 12:25, Windy and Rainy. Our local Forecaster says Pennsylvania may get a good punch from this storm, and later this afternoon and this evening is the crucial time period for us.
Thanks for all the well wishes from everyone. You guys and girls are the best. 🙂
Lori: Thank-you! How thoughtful! We really are all connected by more than our passion for dancing (WTS). Having lived on Gulf coast for 25 years just across river from Louisiana, like #33 Memere, #42 Magnolia, #43 Winnie, #54 antie bellum, #58 Deena, know how the winds behave on upside, downside, eye and when it goes still. There is a combo of bravado and panic but getting prepared, evacuating very smart. So what if you are over prepared or lose things #44 Lisa’s right-take care of your self and loved ones. All you with pets have extra care. Nancy #13 The Eye with it’s unbelievable wind leveled huge long standing pine forests west of the Sabine River and old oak trees preserved for years even as they missed the flooding rain. I am grateful Lori initiated a way to connect and want to know how you all got thru it afterward. Hopefully your computer batteries will last to watch DWTS on line if power does go out. Doing the Weather The Storm dance for you all from Pacific NW. Ditto Jim Cantore! What a guy-give special tribute to him and his camera people!
#68 Teresa, I’m in NJ waiting for #Sandy. So very nice of you to offer your accounts for voting. If you can, please send some votes to Shawn and Derek for me. Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!
I’ve seen tri-state area newscast showing people’s houses in eastern Long Island already having water and also on the Jersey shore. I can just hear howling wind and it’s an annoying drizzle—stings the face because of the wind. Atlantic City is like ground zero….debris already float in the streets. At least I’m on higher ground in my hilly NY area 🙂
No problem Linz, It wouldn’t be right for me to hog all 13 accounts in this situation and I’ll be sure to give Shawn and Derek at least 1 account. Stay safe!
Joey here in jersey! We have a Shorehouse in Lbi- so scared it won’t be there! Seen pics from the island and it is completely underwater. I am in the Princeton area and are gonna be hit hard here as well. Even if we have power I doubt we will be able to watch dwts bc it’s been nothing but news coverage all day. If it is possible can someone get the entire show recorded so when things clear up we can watch? Hope everyone stays safe…
Our local news affiliate (Philadelphia) is saying that we have yet to see anything bad yet. They are saying its currently 100 miles from land and will hit land by late afternoon or evening. They’ve shut down all the public transportation and are closing down bridges crossing the Delaware river connecting Pa and Jersey.
And the one thing I keep thinking of is “crap! I’ll miss tonight’s show and won’t be able to vote for S & D if I have no power!” Not worried about food spoiling or getting a hot shower. Sigh. I’m pathetic.
This storm hasn’t even hit- midnight tonight on the east coast is gonna be scary.
#74 Joey, I just found ABC simulcast on channel 163 for Time Warner cable in northern NJ. The regular shows are on. General Hospital is on now. Crossing my fingers I don’t lose power and can watch DWTS there later. Check around your stations. Also, TWC has an OnDemand channel for ABC shows. If your cable company has OnDemand, you can catch the whole show there in a day or two.
#73 Teresa, Thanks! I’ll try to keep updating to let you know if I have power. So far, there is some rain and constant wind. But the news coverage is driving me crazy. I feel my anxiety level rising! Go Away Sandy!
I’m in MD. I am pretty sure we are in State-of-Emergency status. It’s not bad right now, but supposed to get worse from 6pm on through Tuesday. Hoping to not lose power. Yes I would like it for all the usual reasons and to watch my shows but I am also in school and need the internet. And I have a cold so I am already tired and grumpy. So, please Sandy, be kind to us here…stay safe everyone!
Linz that channel isn’t the same here- hmmm do you have cable vision? I do have on demand tho.
Joey, I have Time Warner Cable, but Cablevision should have something similar. Check around the dial, but at least you have OnDemand.
Just saw this tweet from Tom:
Tom Bergeron @Tom_Bergeron
DWTS fans; fear not, we’re aware power outages & storm coverage will impact viewership & voting access. We’ll be likely calling an audible!
Here in Southern MD, the wind is incredibly strong and it hasn’t stopped raining for 24 hours. We have our generator ready, stew in the crock pot, a stocked fridge and plenty of wine to get us through the next few days with no power!
Hoping I get to watch tonight, I’m a Texas native and I still adore country music, regardless if it makes me less “cool” 😉 xoxo
Angela in Brooklyn,Ny Its pretty scary outside my window, but we are keeping safe. All schools and public transportation is cancelled today and tomorrow. I am sure the power will be out tonight so no dwts. The important thing is just to stay safe and I hope everyone else that is being affected by the storm will also be safe.
@Linz- I’m sorry to be the idiot, but what an “audible”?
@Rachel – “Calling an audible” is a term borrowed from football jargon that refers to a quarterback changing the play at the very last minute after “reading” the defense at the line of scrimmage, and he does so by calling out all those random colors & numbers (that’s the “audible” part) in order to get the offensive line to shift positions. In a non-football context, it means to just wait until the very last minute to decide what to do – in this case, Tom means they’re going to wait until the last minute and see what the situation is with Sandy before deciding what changes need to be made to the voting situation.
Hi, wind is really picking up in central nj, we are ready, but it is not the best feeling in the world to just sit and wait what hapenns.
Thank you everybody for worrying about us!!!
#68 Teresa, please vote for Apolo and Karina for me if you can, thank you so much!!!
It is prety nasty outside and I come to this site to make myself feel a little better, thank you evrybody!!!
Oh, just wanted to add, those with power vote for Shawn & Derek and Apolo & Karina! 🙂
Don’t forget about Shawn & Derek guys, most people feel like they are safe but we know how that can go in everyone else decides to support only the ‘ones they deem to be in trouble’.
Interesting to see what they would do to accommodate Sandy voting troubles. I doubt they want to have another non-elimination….that would mean 2 double eliminations back-to-back in W7 and W8 and way too many points and votes making up the first double elimination (3 weeks worth). What do you all think they will do?
Hi everyone, DW reporting from the Boston, MA area. Scary out here with 50-90 mph winds, trees down in the road and on top of houses, as well as sharp, pelting rain. Dangerous to be outside. It is supposed to get even more severe as the evening wears on. Our local TV station is pre-empting all other coverage with live hurricane updates, but has informed us that the regular TV programming will be shown on another channel,so fingers crossed I can watch the show, assuming I still have electricity! Bye for now and everybody stay safe!
CBS and the CW are switching all their programming nationally to Re-runs. NBC is planning to go ahead with original programming and so far ABC has no plans to cancel the live show. But stay tuned.
It’s almost 5:00, lots of rain and winds, I can’t imagine what it will be like later once the storm actually hits us. Kind of creepy thinking once it gets dark, you can’t see anything and don’t know what’s really happening.
Well, Off to get my shower, not sure if I will get to watch the show tonight. But most importantly, I just want to get through this evening.
Good luck, Sandy.
Thinking of all of you on the east coast and sending positive vibes 🙂 xoxo
We’re getting wind gusts of about 30 mph, and some rain right now. Hopefully, it’ll stay at about this, but I’m doubtful….
Good luck everyone!
Just got home from work and turned on the news. I see what is going on in Cape May right now and this thing hasn’t even made landfall. My thoughts are with everyone on the east coast. Our winds are starting to pick up here in Chicago, but nothing compared to what all of you are facing. Everyone stay safe and keep us posted as you can. This was such a great idea Lori. All of you that work and maintain this site are incredible people, and I thank you!
Irina- can do! stay safe!!!
I saw the news this morning OMG glad California doesn’t get this weather to everyone on the East Coast try to stay dry, bummer about NY and Long Beach Island.
Dee in IL! I think we’ll be fine but we do have a wind advisory for today and tomorrow.
Praying for everyone in the direct path of Sandy.. Take care, be safe, God Bless.
Such a sweet gesture, Lori… You all do such an amazing job with this site. Thanks!!
Checking in from Indy. Wind advisory in effect, & it’s getting pretty crazy – I damn near got blown over in the grocery store parking lot, my trash cans were down the street when I got home, and I practically had to drag the dog outside to do her business. It’s kinda scary, but I can’t imagine what those of you in the line of the storm are going through right now. You’re all in my thoughts & I’m sending positive vibes – hope to hear that all of you are safe & sound on the other side of this storm!
Like Linz, I’m watching ABC regular programming on an alternate channel, since they have round the clock coverage on the regular one. for anyone in southeastern PA that has verizon fios, it’s channel 466. They showed some other alternate channels on their hurricane coverage for other cable providers, unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to write them down, but there were at least 4 other alternate channels for other cable networks, so its out there, just have to find it somehow. Now just praying everything stays on!!
Teresa, thank you very much, my parents already lost power, I expect the same will hapen for us as well.
Praying for the victims. Watching reports all cozy in my home. I feel so blessed. Stunned by this superstorm, especially that building in NYC. stay safe everyone. If you’re told to evacuate, get the heck out of there. And crossing fingers you can watch DWTS.
Just got back from Las Vegas via Toronto to the east coast of Canada. (close to Maine) Lots of flight cancellations in Toronto because of the rain and wind there. Nothing like what our friends to the south will get though. Sending thoughts and prayers your way for everyone’s safety.
Here in Massachusetts…we still have power but the local cable stations are out, aka no DWTS! Be sure to keep those of us without it updated, everyone! 🙂 Thanks for all you do here!
Almost showtime…..and lots of Harford Co MD is out of power, including me
Oh Teresa, if it’s not too late. Haven’t talked to them yet, but I have a friend on the east coast who’s a big Melissa and Tony fan. Do you think you could send a few votes their way?
Dwtsfreak you got it 1 account will def go to tony and melissa. Hope your friend is safe through this storm!!
For those of you like me without cable…here’s a live stream for tonight!

I have several relations in NYC and CT (near long island sound) and I hope all are well. Watched the president’s statement on federal action/reaction and I hope it is good.
Just wanted to pop in and send some more good wishes to those in Sandy’s path.
A lot of people don’t have power now. *Thinking and praying for you all. Hang in there!! xxxx
Cherry in Ottawa, Ontario-I mostly lurk on this site, but felt inclined to post to say thank you for the thread and the updates!
We’re going to get the remnants. It’s windy and rainy, but nothing too bad. My thoughts and prayers to everyone affected. Love you guys!
As I read updates this morning, my heart is very heavy for people on the east coast. Their lives will be very tough for the next several days to weeks.
Just checking in, We Were So Incredibly Lucky! The storm in our area was not nearly as bad as first anticipated.
Thank you so much for the well wishes and the Love. But I am also sending prayers and thoughts out to those that may not be as fortunate as some of us. Stay safe and stay strong!
Same here, we got lucky!
I figured that it would lose some power between NYC/NJ before hitting my area, but it lost power quicker than I expected.
Lost power. It may not be back on for a good while. Also had a bit of roof shingles come off but it could have been MUCH much worse. Praying for those of you that are flooding and went/are going through the worst of the storm!!
Fortunately Missouri shouldn’t receive much from this storm. Keep safe everyone, praying for you all and sending good thoughts your way!
Glad to hear that you’re doing well. I guess the question is there someone from this thread that’s MIA.
No word from Sheery today, I don’t think. 🙁
Meggie, sheery commented today on Vogue’s media post
Oh good! I checked most of the threads, but not that one.
