Sandy now has sustained winds of >90 mph. The North American Model (NAM) is bringing a colder than previously thought tongue of air into Ohio, so anyone living south of Toledo and west of I-71 can expect a rain / snow mix overnight. As a matter of fact there are a few snow flakes falling here in the Bowling Green area as I type.

Pisanello's
was one of my faves, if only for economic reasons. Back then they did the 2 for $4.50 (7" pizza and 6" sub). The sauce at Myles gives a lot of people (including me) some killer heartburn, but it is sooo worth the extra Prilosec (for me, others disagree, Im sure)

Crews Leaving From Michigan...
Crews Leaving From Michigan...
A fair number of contract utility crews from southeast Michigan are already on their way to New Jersey as of this morning, and assuming we don't need ours because of the gusty winds here (only up to 30 MPH now, but expected to hit 45 MPH near Detroit), Detroit Edison is supposedly going to release some crews to help there later in the week. The utility industry is sort of a loose brotherhood, and we're definitely keeping our counterparts on the East Coast in our thoughts here, as well as their customers.

Fortunately the hurricane canceled my afternoon plans
Fortunately the hurricane canceled my afternoon plans
because they were to be on 57th St. between 6th & 7th Avenues, where a monster luxury condo skyscraper being constructed by dubious parties has made me nervous throughout its construction. Unfortunately, the hurricane confirmed my nerves: The big midtown story is that due to the high winds, a crane is dangerously dangling from the top of the 90-story building. The streets have been evauated, but now the nearby buildings are being warned to evacuate because if the crane starts flying (which may actually cause parts of the unfinished building itself to collapse) it could damage the other buildings as well. [It's happened before in NYC, without the help of a hurricane.]
Too bad Carnegie Hall can't evacuate itself. It's directly across the street.
EDIT: I see other people posted the crane story earlier below. And in case my statement of "dubious" parties is inappropriate phrasing, I should explain that the same developer was responsible for construction scaffolding falling on a baby carriage and nanny when they were demolishing a simple one-story building to put up another luxury highrise several years ago. Fortunately the baby carriage was strong enough to protect the baby; I believe the nanny's leg was broken.

Is anyone else sort of mildly impressed that the tropical-storm-force winds stretch from Maine to South Carolina? I mean that's astounding. I think today's breezy and gloomy weather here in Michigan is a more or less direct result of Sandy's presence, but it's not like you can tell the difference between this and regular fall weather.

Probably A Good Call...
Probably A Good Call...
If Con Edison is doing that, then it is the right move from a system standpoint. I can't even imagine the number of cable faults and amount of burned switchgear they would have otherwise if it was still energized and the flooding was as bad as forecasted. Repairing underground, especially in a dense area with a vault system like I think New York has (downtown Detroit does as well), is a complicated lengthy ordeal sometimes. Oddly enough, the system suffers less damage when it is cold.
