The news shows that mostly people are dealing with power outages and there are some areas that got severe flooding.

I also home that Marshall and his loved ones are OK.

I spoke with Greg Felise a little earlier, he lives near Atlantic City in Jersey and you can see the bay from his front porch... he lost his deck, it floated away. But his house missed being flooded by just a couple of inches.

His father's house was severely damaged, it got a massive tree through the middle of it. Greg sent me a photo of his brother George (who worked for Spector and Kramer) on top of the tree... on top of the house... and it was massive.

The NY Workshop lost power. At last check in, they were still waiting but expected it on before tomorrow morning.

PJ and his family were fine, they never lost power, which he was pretty shocked by.

And there are many, many Spector Artists who are MIA. Jessica Pimentel, John Montagna, and many others. I'm trying to reach them as I can.

Hope that all are okay. We're still w/o power up here north of Boston but for the most part, came through unscathed. My thoughts are with everyone back in my homeland of Jersey. A friend of mine lives in the West Village in NYC, and her car was destroyed when the garage under their building was completely submerged. It's going to take months to get everything cleaned up/out. Stuff can be replaced, people can't.

I met with Spector Artist and TB Spector Regular Jaymi Millard in the beautiful exotic locale of Inglewood yesterday...

And I shot two tone videos with Nicki Tedesco over the weekend.

Nicki pointed out the "Punch" and "Versatile Tone" of the ReBop MM, and that got Jaymi thinking... and I jumped in...

And well...

You should just see it for yourself.

I hope everyone is well..........we have been moving slow the past couple days. I hope all my east coast brothers to the north are doing well and have dry homes! Some of the pictures I have seen have been devastating! Can any NYC guys chime in and report on things up there?

Luckily I made it ok. My street usually floods from any storm but had nothing this time. I only lost power late last night for 2 hours as they probably fixed other areas.

But within 8 miles from me on the other side of Staten Island it was total destruction.

I am watching the news now and it is blowing my mind how bad it is.

Glad to hear you made it though safely and without damage. It's crazy out there.

I know what it can be like, too. I got trapped in Puerto Rico on business last year. Hurricane Irene popped up and knocked out power to the island for days. I was literally camping in a flooded hotel. I thought that sucked. I can only imagine if it were my home. So so sad.

Happy to hear you and family are okay! :D
This whole Franken Hurricane Sandy is just surreal! Like something off of the Scyfi channel! :ninja:

I received my new custom set of GHS Precision Flats today! Fast! They shipped from the GHS shop here in Battle Creek, Mi. Now I just need a new Coda 5 to put them on. I have a feeling that it might be another 10-14 days before I see it. :( :bawl: :rollno:
