Default Sandy, storm fringe arrives, Monday

Bought a few things, today. Asked at Dollar
Tree, what are the fast movers.

Flashlights, batteries
Bottled water
Snacks.

Trace of rain. Went to the church, to do my
usual Monday walk through.

About 5:30 PM decided to go buy some fresh
gas for the generator. Moderate, steady rain.
Wish I'd gone, earlier in the day. I got wet. The
roof over the gas station did nothing useful, the
rain blew under the roof. Visibility is poor. I'm
back home, remelting some candles.

Today. Blew leaves from front of house so wind can take them away. Cleaned
leave out of gutter. Moved vehicles in safe location. Configured light
items around house. Went hardware to buy ac plugs. Hear two people come in
to buy kerosene jug, and Coleman fuel. At grocery, watch fellows restocking
water bottles. I grab pack before its put on shelf. Back home bottle about
20 gallons water. Kitty litter jugs hold a lot.

Getting wind gusts, not much rain. Wind said to peak after 1 am. Possible
40 mph or more.

SE Pittsburgh. Not much rain. Still averaging 10-15 mph, still powered.
Some snow to the south and east. If power goes off, might have to locate my
stovepipe kerosene heater. Not fooling with generators, got three.

Tuesday Oct 30, 7 AM, western PRNY. Power still on. Weather cool, wet, no
precip. Winds calm, far as I can tell.

You have three generators, but won't use any of them?
