Hurricane Sandy in NY/NJ! :|

[NeverToFarApartx3]

So, my girlfriend is in New Jersey, where they say the biggest storm in the US is supposed to hit, Hurricane Sandy

. I'm so so scared, if something happens to her, I'll never forgive myself for not being there with her, I won't ever do a long distance relationship again if something happens to her, I swear it. I haven't been able to work all day, I'm so worried :'( yea we fight a lot, but I love her.. and I can't loose her

I am in New York, right on the coast. I just started to get some of the outer band of the storm here. It's really not that bad so far. I am certain your girlfriend will be just fine. They encourage people to be prepared and if need be, evacuate. They take every precaution to make sure everyone remains safe. My SO is upstate in New York, so it's not like he's getting hit as badly as I am. I'm just worried about being able to stay in touch with my SO if we lose power. But, I promise you she will be fine! =]

She'll be fineeeeeee, everyone up here in the northeast knows how this stuff works. :P I'm in Massachusetts and we just started getting the wicked wind a couple hours ago. My family is down in CT about an hour out of NYC and are having fun basically preparing for the apocalypse. Just make sure she stays indoors and I'm positive she'll be fine.

I work in the City and live right outside. We'll be fine. As long as your girlfriend takes the proper precautions, she'll be fine. Sending good vibes your way

Im in NYC two blocks from the east river. We have barely seen any rain and the winds are just starting to pick up. It all looks ok right now. Im sure she'll be fine =). Try to calm down and kit if that helps.

I'm from south east USA, we get pounded by hurricanes alllll the time. They're not that big a deal. Most of the time.

I've lived through so many hurricanes that were supposed to wipe out half the state, and instead we end up with a little rain and wind.

She'll be fine.

Okay, thank you everyone for the positive stuff and not making me feel like a damn baby >_< I just get scared easily, and tend to think of the worst. Which I need to practice on :\

Its nice that you care and totally normal to worry since the news makes everything sound terrible. Just letting you know it all looks good on this side. I lived in NOLA for 4 years and this is a joke in comparison, so far.

[Brieasaurus]

I live near the coast of CT right near the NY border and we're all fine here besides from a little bit of wind. Just turn on the news, there's nothing horrible happening besides some storm surges near the boardwalks of coastal towns. She'll be fine. No worries.

my SO is from NJ also..... not near the coast... but still... close enough to be blown away

haven't heard from him yet and I am worried sick.... it's going to be a long night for me....

[Oldblighty]

It's only natural to worry about someone you love when their in the path of what could be a devastating storm. I'm sure she'll be hunky dory and only get the tail end of of it.......Be strong dear.........we are all here for you xxx

I know.. my girlfriend lives about 45 mins away from the coast.. she's texting me, but everytime she stops I get scared.

My SO and family live in New Jersey. I'm getting worried. Thankfully they live pretty far from the shore.

My daddy works for the power company in NJ so I'm more scared for him really. He has to be out in the bad weather.

The bad part about this storm is that the northeast isn't prepared for hurricanes like the south is. I've been trying to explain this to my friends in FL all day since they think this is no big deal.

My SO lives in NY and said Sandy is only classified as a category 1 hurricane which is pretty much the lowest level hurricane possible. Everything is gonna be fine.

Frank and I live in Maine near the coast. It's not supposed to hit us too bad here but we've been told to definitely prepare for power outages and flooding in some areas.

We've got a camp stove, a storage tub filled with water, lots of bottled water, canned baked beans, "just add water" kraft mac n' cheese cups, fruit cups, flash lights, candles... I think we're all set!

Everyone stay safe!
