Ed Mack Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 To all BrickPicker members...I just want to bring to your attention(if you are not aware already), that a huge storm is heading towards the middle Atlantic Coast of the United States. The center of the storm is supposed to hit central New Jersey on Monday and remain in the area for days. The storm is supposed to knock down a million trees across the Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City areas. I would imagine that there will be millions without power for an extended period of time.Jeff and I both live in central New Jersey and it's safe to say that we will be without power as well. The servers for the site are in Texas, so I don't think the site will have any issues operating, but Jeff and I might not be able to respond to issues or problems on the site for days, maybe more. If there is an interruption in service, please be patient. We will eventually be back up and running as soon as conditions permit. For all of you who are in the path of this storm...good luck, be safe and move your LEGO sets to a high and dry place in your house.Godspeed...Ed and Jeff Mack Quote
cvail8 Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Good luck guys. Hope everybody comes out of it alright. And the Legos too. All the Legos. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Yeah be safe guys. Hope you and your family stay safe! Hoping for the best! Quote
Veegs Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Stay safe. Slightly off topic, if you had to vacate your home and could only take 1 Lego set, what would it be? Quote
Rich B Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Good luck with everything guys!! We are prepping here in the Wasington DC area as it looks like we too are going to catch the wrath of mother nature. Quote

Veegs Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 I was just kidding around - trying to bring some levity Quote

Doofy McGee Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Just want to extend my best wishes for the Macks, and of course everyone else who will be affected by this. Be safe everyone! If they tell you to evacuate an area, ditch the pride and do as they say!!! Quote
Rich B Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 you stay safe as well Rich! Thanks man :) Quote
Ed Mack Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 Stay safe. Slightly off topic, if you had to vacate your home and could only take 1 Lego set, what would it be?10179 Millennium Falcon. Thanks for all your support. There are millions of nervous people right now on the East Coast. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 God willing everything goes well. I wish you guys (& everyone else) the best of luck. DON'T DIE ON US, MAN!!! Quote

Damnation666 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Day off from work and no internet most likely. That sucks. Quote
M4x18 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Hope that everything turns out OK and that the Macks/everyone on the east coast will be able to be back here with no issues. Quote
bacon1986 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I definitely just made sure all the nice Lego sets were elevated off the ground last night in case of flooding. i will be praying for the east coast this week. Quote
Ed Mack Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 Jeff's internet just crashed...POS Fios!!! Quote
Huskers1236 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Keep dry over there on the east coast, I have been keeping tabs on this storm and the Mid-Atlantic and up is just getting nailed by this thing. Going to cost a lot of money when all is said and done. Stay safe and move to high ground. Quote
Brick625 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Stay safe guys, hopefully it will end fast Quote
speedpro50 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I also am hoping for you guys and everyone else that the storm (and flooding) isn't as bad as some are forecasting. I wish you the very best and all safety! Quote
Ed Mack Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Jeff and I are back on line. Power has been restored to our homes. We were very lucky. There are millions of people in the the Philly and NYC metropolitan area that were not as lucky as us. There are over 8 million people without electricity as I write this. Tens of thousands are stranded in flood areas. Nice to be back. You don't appreciate the quiet nights until you go through a night like we did last night... Quote
speedpro50 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Glad you guys came through the storm well! Quote
