Best of luck to those who have to weather the storm this week. It's amazing how large and far-reaching this storm is going to be. I think they are predicting its effects will be felt all the way to the Great Lakes states. Yikes!
One of my colleagues has a meeting in upstate NY on Wednesday. I'm predicting it will be cancelled.

Lost power last night at 6:30 PM, just got it back. We are OK, but last night it was very scary being in the dark with those strong winds howling. I think we lost some shingles from our roof. Some branches fell down, but nothing major. Watching the New Jersey Governor's press conference. New Jersey has been hit very badly. Homes near the shore are off their foundations and in the middle of state highways. He said train cars near exit 12 on the New Jersey Turnpike were washed onto the turnpike by the storm surge. He also said that there are 7 foot high piles of debris on the turnpike. Amazing!

Oh my. Unfathomable is pretty much an understatement. NYC looks pretty hard hit as well.

We lost shortly before midnight and it came back after 9:15 am. Rain and wind kept up through the night; now it's lighter. The river has flooded in areas so that's a concern.
The metro DC area fared all right. However a number of folks are still out of power, plenty of down trees, and plenty of clean up ahead.
