I'm fine, never even lost power and didn't get a whole lot of rain out of it as the northern most part of the storm was dragging in dry air for some reason.
Looks like getting to work will be a problem for a bit though, NYC got screwed.

The storm turned out to be a whole lot of nothing here.

They are warning of some flooding of small rivers and streams, but it really doesn't seem like it's rained hard enough for that.

I hope all those to the south are OK.

Not too bad here. A lot of wind and rain, but my place is good. Had a rather large tree fall on a neighbor's house, and then the power went out around nine thirty last night.  Been up walking around helping clear the road so far this morning. Not much else to do when there isn't coffee...
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Glad all are ok. Tini I hope you hear from your family soon.

Judging from the pictures I saw yesterday, the house I grew up in probably had a foot of water in it.  I always say leaving Jersey was the best thing I ever did...twice, but now I really mean it.  I'm so happy I'm not in the AC area now.  That place is trashed right now.

Still waiting to hear news about my one coworker.
Last text he sent out last night was that the water level all of a sudden and he and his wife ran upstairs. They heard all sorts of banging downstairs.
