Sandy Playlist

Something to Listen to Before the Power Goes Out

So here's what the Wall Street Journal provides as a summary for what my area should expect when Sandy comes calling:

Ocean and Monmouth Counties: Rain beginning Sunday evening, peaking Monday evening and continuing to Wednesday. Winds peaking at between 70 and 75 mph, with gusts to 90 mph or more between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Storm surge between 7 and 9 feet on the beaches, 8 and 11 feet near the Raritan River. Waves of 15-20 feet. Overview: Expect significant beach erosion, as Sandy’s full force will be directed here on landfall. Highest winds in the tri-state. The Raritan River could act as a funnel and experience some of the worst coastal flooding in the metro area. Rain totals up to 8-10 inches.

Here, we've got bottled water, and we're charging everyone's phones.  I'd give just about anything for some D batteries.

We got the call that CoolDaughter #2 has no school for the next two days, and we're expecting the same for CoolDaughter #1.

I quickly threw together this playlist to herald Sandy's arrival.  Some of it's obvious, some hopefully less so...

If you're in the Mid-atlantic region, good luck and be safe.
