Hurricane Sandy: Bryn Mawr-Gladwyne Information Center
See a tree down in your neighborhood? Notice a road is flooded? Just saw a store clerk upload a pallet of fresh batteries? Please use this story on Bryn Mawr-Gladwyne Patch to help out your neighbors as we brave the storm together.
As we hunker down to ride out Hurricane Sandy, we want to make sure that Bryn Mawr and Gladwyne stay connected. For live updates during the storm, be sure to download our App for your smartphone or tablet and 'like' Bryn Mawr Patch on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
You can send us messages through social media and email (brynmawr@patch.com) and comment on this story and we’ll make sure the information is added here to this story. If you notice wires down or a tree across the road, please alert authorities and then let us know so we can spread the word quickly. You can comment right on this story to make sure readers know what’s going on in your neighborhood.
When the storms hit, we'll add a live chat hosted by CoverItLive at the top of this article where you can let us know about what's going on and talk with your neighbors about their conditions.
Just one year ago, we had that snow storm the weekend before Halloween that knocked out power to many homes for days. Trees were down across roads and crews weren't able to get to them for days. You can share info about what's going on in your neighborhood by commenting or adding to our live chat.
Bryn Mawr-Gladwyne Patch is all about connecting neighbors and helping neighbors so we hope you’ll find this information hub helpful as we brave the storm together. Stay safe.

Can anyone please give me an update on the situation in the vicinity of Montgomery Av and N. Merion? I am very concerned. I have not had word from a loved one living in the BMC faculty/staff apartment building located just near that intersection. So worried for her and for all affected by this storm! God preserve her and all of you!

Hi Paul,
Our community sustained minimal damage. Mostly with power outages with trees being down. If that apt. building was affected I would have heard as I go to Bryn Mawr College and know people who live there. I just arrived at home from staying with family near by. I will drive by there tomorrow. My best guess is that they have no power as it is close to campus and campus went out yesterday afternoon/evening. The Philly area was very lucky!

Power was restored to campus and probably to the faculty building as well. Classes resume tomorrow.

I have an unopened/unused generator from Lowe's. - Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder 5500w. I was going to return it, but maybe someone local needs it. I paid $848 after tax and will sell it for the same. I have the receipt to share with you. Please email me if interested. straubtm at hotmail dot com. Cash only. It's in my car in KOP now, but I'll be back home in Bryn Mawr this evening. -Tim
