Thousands Of People Waking Up Without Electricity This Morning Last Update: 8/15/2005 7:17:25 AM (New York) AP 08/15/05 – Thousands of people in the tri-state area are waking up Monday morning without electricity. The severe thunderstorms that passed through the area last night knocked out power on Long Island and in the northern suburbs of Rockland and Orange counties. The Long Island Power Authority says there are about 2,600 customers without electricity at dawn. Most of the outages are in Glen Cove and Massapequa. Officials are trying to verify if a tornado touched down in Glen Cove, leaving a swirl of broken utility poles and trees. Orange and Rockland Utilities had about 10,000 customers out at the height of the storm. But just over 1,000 remain blacked out as of dawn this morning. Four hundred of them are in Rockland County – mostlyy in Valley Cottage and Pearl River. In Orange County, 261 customers remain without power, 200 of them clustered in Port Jervis. And in Bergen County abut 393 customers are without power – more than half of them in Closter. ************************************ Thousands still without power from Northeast storms Monday, August 15, 2005; Posted: 8:04 p.m. EDT (00:04 GMT) Drivers brave the flooded streets of Boston, Massachusetts, on Sunday. NEW YORK (AP) — Power is still out for many of the thousands of people in New York, New Jersey and several New England states who had to start their Monday without brewed coffee or hair dryers, after fierce thunderstorms ripped through much of the Northeast Sunday night. New Jersey officials said some of the more than 80,000 homes and businesses that lost power may not get it back until late Tuesday, particularly in the state’s northern part. A police dispatcher said half of the Massachusetts town of Brockton is under water. And Stamford, Connecticut’s mayor said he’s never seen damage like what his town was socked with. Wind gusting to 80 mph knocked trees onto power lines, lightning started fires and torrential rain flooded streets in parts of eastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, southeastern New York, Connecticut and eastern Massachusetts on Sunday. Boston’s South Shore was hit particularly hard, with severe flooding in Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth and Brockton. "Half of the city is under water," Brockton police dispatcher Darrelyn Jordan said Sunday night. "We have reports of water going into basements all over the city. We’ve had people stuck in cars all over the city. We even had to tow a police cruiser out of there with water flowing over the hood." Stamford, Connecticut, Mayor Dannel Malloy said the damage was the worst since an ice storm in 1973: "We’ve never seen anything like it." More than 50,000 homes and businesses in Massachusetts also lost power. Thousands more were blacked out in the New York City suburbs. The severe weather on Sunday also forced a suspension of final round play at the PGA Championship in Springfield, New Jersey, and caused a 90-minute interruption of the MLS soccer game between the MetroStars and the Columbus Crew at New Jersey’s Meadowlands. However, the storms brought at least a little relief from a stifling heat wave that had driven temperatures above 100 degrees with high humidity. Before the storms, Consolidated Edison in New York had record demand for power during the weekend, spokesman Chris Olert said. ******************************************** Storm pummels region Monday, August 15, 2005 By ELISE YOUNG STAFF WRITER Some 25,000 homes in Bergen County were without power Sunday night after a thunderstorm wrought what one official called "20 minutes or a half-hour of havoc." In Glen Rock, firefighters raced to a burning house believed to have been struck by lightning. Trees and utility lines were down on both sides of the town. On Route 17 from Saddle River to Rutherford, flooding and downed power lines caused closures of parts of the busy road moments after the storm blew in about 6 p.m. "The storm came from the north and just rolled down and created 20 minutes or a half-hour of havoc in each town," said county police Sgt. Michael Devine. Deann Muzikar, a spokeswoman for Public Service Electric and Gas Co., said the hardest-hit towns were Ridgewood, Paramus, Westwood, Little Ferry, Glen Rock and Washington Township. She said the utility estimated that power would be fully restored by 9 p.m. Tuesday. "We’re sure some of the people will come back up before then," she said. Muzikar said most of the outages were caused by lightning striking power lines. A power substation in Westwood also was hit. The change in weather was abrupt. At Teterboro Airport at 6 p.m., the National Weather Service recorded a temperature of 86 degrees. An hour later, the temperature had dropped 11 degrees. During 15 minutes in Lodi, a North Jersey Weather Observer member recorded rainfall of 1.48 inches. A member in Hawthorne recorded 1.74 inches of precipitation between 6 and 6:30 p.m. Some members reported severe thunder and lightning for a half-hour or longer. Prior to the storm, "the air was just soaked" with humidity, said Robert Ziff of Ramsey, a spokesman for the group. "The air was so unstable," he said, "the only way to stabilize it is with storms." Police in Wayne and Oakland, each with flood-prone areas, said they had little rainfall and no trouble to report. "It’s kind of unusual," Ziff remarked. "We get squall lines at this time of year. These are hit-and-miss storms." Residents in Emerson and Westwood said entire neighborhoods, including streetlamps and traffic lights, were without power. In Glen Rock, Patrolman Peter Tuchol said the regular shift was held over to deal with downed trees and power lines on both the east and west sides of town. "It should be cleared up in a few hours," he said at 8 p.m. The Bergen County Police Department reported flooding along Route 17, forcing closures in Ridgewood, Paramus, Hasbrouck Heights, East Rutherford and Rutherford. In Rochelle Park, southbound Passaic Street was closed because of downed utility lines. NJ Transit trains and buses and PATH reported no major problems. At the Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, temperatures reached 100 degrees for the second day, and thunderstorms led officials to suspend the PGA Championship for about 40 minutes. Fourth-round play will resume today at 10:05 a.m.

The air conditioning units went off in some rooms at the motel because of the freaky power outages, and somebody threw a chair through the big window of their motel room to get some air. The broken glass from the window stopped a foot short of the front bumper on my parents’ car. No sign of chair damage to the hood of the car. The air conditioning in my parents’ car died Monday, and they had to drive through 90 degree heat with their windows open at 70 mph. "Pierre Anoid" <ptim…@sympatico.ca> wrote in message

I guess they off the net then eh? I have been thinking of buying a portable battery pack and solar panel thing they keep advertising on TV. These cost about 400$ together but are on sale usually. The last big power outage I could use the phone but did yet have a laptop with battery so no net access. my battery operated flash lights and radios were all that worked. I have since bought about 8 solar falsh lights and given some away to friends.

I’ve destroyed an old 486 computer, a doll and numerous paper targets at the firing range lately with my SKS 59/66.

I got it at a local gunshop in Tannersville, PA – Paid 115.00 for it and he gave me two boxes of Wolf ammo for it as well. It took two hours of cleaning to get all the damn cosmoline off it – I had to break down the entire gun, which was fairly easy. It has the fold-in bayonet and a grenade launcher too. Some guy makes adapters for the grenade launcher so you can launch golf balls..lol Its a fabulous beginners rifle and neat for old timers too, just because its a semi-automatic. A week ago I found a thirty round magazine for it, but it worked like crap; kept jamming on me. Strip-clips work great for it, especially with Bear ammo – makes loading a snap.. I plan on getting a small scope for it real soon because after about 40 rounds, my eyes just blur out when looking at the sights… Best, Chris

Its probably a 59/66 or a 59. Rust and pits look horrible, but its not too hard to get them off/out with a wire wheel attachment for a dril or a wire wheel for a grinder. Inside the barrel can be a real pain tho..

I was in the military for 8 years.. and learned to shoot pretty well. ( shot 39 of 40 – that was my best. average 35 though) I think shooting is good for recreation but I am afraid to own a gun. With my night time paranoia, I would end up shooting someone who lives in my house or the shadow of my cat or something. Also, I have a baby so guns in the house make me worse. We do have an sks though, which is why I have decided to chime in – We also have 38 … the bolts are kept in a locking hutch thing.. in the drawer, and the rest in the closet of the bedroom. -kim

I’m lucky, I don’t have the extreme paranoia anymore, so nighttime shadows don’t bother me much. I used to be really paranoid, so I can easily sympathize. Its good you have the 38 locked up, especially with a baby in the house.. Best, Chris

I think it depends on where you live, as to the background check – I think that some states don’t do it at all. Here in Pennsylvania, they do it and I went right through in about 15 minutes. My father made some purchases as well and his went through in about three minutes. I’m not sure, buy I think they call the BATF, who looks up your name, social security number and drivers license and checks for felonies and past arrests.. We got a rifle at a gun show last week and the guy was a dealer from the other side of PA. He just made a call using his cell phone and in minutes we were cleared – It took longer to fill out the paperwork.. Best, Chris
