[nrv-hams] Hurricane Sandy

[Robert McGwier]

My son, his wife, and my ex live in Central New Jersey.  They can
barely get out but suffered no house damage.  No electricity, gas
intermittent,  and being told it might be a week.  No hype about how
devastating it was going to be to that area.

The only exaggeration was the forecast for Blacksburg and that only
slightly.  The "gist of it" was right.
