CNN PRODUCER NOTE     DesireG told me, 'There was a lot of wind and ice cold rain. Police officers did not allow trucks or motorcycles to pass on bridges and highways. City workers cleared out any fallen branches and so on. Lastly, streets located near Chester creek were told to evacuate and take shelter in one of the local middle schools (Showalter Middle School) and despite PECO cutting off the gas and electric as a safety measure many people did not leave so I had a chance to talk with two of them as you see in the video.'

PLEASE NOTE: Sandy is an extremely dangerous storm. We urge iReporters to take caution when documenting the storm and follow local guidance. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor warnings issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.
