Is anyone nervous about Hurricane Sandy's effects on Rochester?

Anyways, I went to Durand tonight with my buddy who wanted to try some surfing. I'd say the waves were 3-4' maybe a few select rollers hitting 6-7' at the very most. This insane 20' estimate they've been tossing around in the media is embarrassing when you consider what the ocean side communities are facing. I highly doubt anything we're going to see is going to top 10' at the very most.

Jealous!! I was looking for a wetsuit so that I could surf too!

If your buddy one of those guys that does the winter surfing off durand?

Nah he's just an idiot that will do anything once for ****s and grins. He literally found a surf board and wetsuit yesterday on Craigslist while at work, picked them up on his way home, then we hit Durand. I didn't go in, I'm smarter than that lol. And I hate cold water. The wind was nasty though, and the rain pelting my face wasn't too pleasant. I got in the car and my ears hurt and my facial skin was giving this odd sensation of shrinking around my skull, very weird. But hey, it was an experience!!
