Before people get too excited, I should point out that this storm is no "sandy". That said, I must ask if NJT planning to move any equipment to stiles street yard in linden or elsewhere not prone to flooding? Are they altering service? Is it too soon to say? From the NWS forecasts, it looks like this may come ashore somewhere between the "delmarva" area and long island if the "eye" ever does come ashore at all. My boss and his boss are canceling all field operations over the weekend and closing the office from tomorrow till tuesday. Anyone else getting similar from their employers? It may not be a "sandy" but I all ready feel a tense atmosphere in the area. A friend of mine who works at verizon (a pole climber) said vacations have been canceled and people on vacation have been recalled as of this morning. NJT doing same? Just curious. Hoping this storm heads out to sea and never gets close to land..
