To my East Coast brothers and sister

[Devil Doc]

Just starting here. I'm expecting wind gust of up to 60mph and a few inches of rain. I live 40mi from the ocean so I don't think a storm surge is an issue. Power will definitely go out, though. Just a matter of time and how long. Wife works at the hospital. Sick people don't take the day off, so her getting to and from work is a concern. I'm a closet survivalist so I got more than enough gear, food, water, gas, and kerosene to get by for a while. Those folks on the Jersey shore are screwed, however. Storm statistics have already exceeded Irene and the blow hasn't even come ashore yet.

Sounds like some crazy stuff up there. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Hope you all can find a way to stay safe.

Stay safe guys, hopefully it won't be as bad as they're reporting it may be.

Sofar windy and mild rain with a hint of leather and chocolate...wait.

Just a couple trickles across the basement floor. The rain doesn't seem anywheres near as intense as TS Lee was last year (Irene really didn't do squat here but it's the big comparison.) Its just coming down sideways... Up the road 15" of rain was measured from Lee.

I am not hoping for a repeat.

Very lucky here the power even stay on despite winds that snapped a metal road sign in half in front of my house. A few miles from us someone lost the roof off their home. The rain wasn't that bad and I am not near the shore so that part did not effect me. I hope you all are safe. I bet CC lost is electric too many tree's up his way. Lets us know how you did logan.

Sitting here in the airport waiting to get home as we speak, my mom tells me my neighborhood looks like a war zone, hopefully my flight lands at Kennedy without a hassle.

Good luck to anyone else out there dealing with this.
