So far so good here in Ct. SHoreline is getting mauled badly by flooding unfortunately.

Steady rain with stronger more frequent wind gusts right now. Philadelphia govt and schools canceled for Tuesday. Bridges between NJ and PA are open but trucks, trainers, motorcycles are banned.

We moved the cars away from the trees to the back of the parking lot. Trees are water logged and the wet leaves are making the branches sag.

Sandy for Sluggo would continue the annual " No power for BC ". :(

hey PS-- we lost power at 2PM ET yesterday. Its still off at home, but no problems at work. The storm petered out around midnight. There are only a few branches down, no big damage at all. Its inconvenient with no electricity at home, but not a big disaster. Last year's October snowstorm caused LOTS more trouble.....

I can't even imagine all the messes it's caused.

Not being able to microwave a frozen entree would be annoying enough...

We lost power for almost 48 hours, nothing compared to the havoc those along the shore in Jersey and Staten Island got from this storm. Neighbors across the street still have no lights, must be on a different path.
