We are STILL feeling the influence of the storm today. Still very windy here
but bright sun and very dry. The DRY is nice for a change...

The Jersey shore is getting pommeled.

We still have power (knocking wood, or pixels that look like wood), and I just got another e-mail telling me that federal offices in DC are closed tomorrow. Time off is always a good thing.

The eye is just hitting Cape May. Let us know how the DC area fares. I'm still worried about Jersey--got friends there. I know that several of them were evacuated yesterday morning.

Coming to you live from an old WWII bunker I renovated.

I wish. It's picking up around here. It's quite windy, that's for sure. Everything is closed/closing. No public transportation. Worst is about 2 hours away and then for about 12 hours after that.

Delaware/Jersey shoreline is getting pummeled and skyscraper cranes are falling apart in New York. At least it's not snowing.

Thanks for the update JB! Keep safe.

This doesn't give you an excuse to stop campaigning!

I thought about canvassing tonight! Someone from the Romney campaign knocks on your door in this shit? How can you not vote for the guy? It got dark early though. I don't knock on doors after dark. Folk scare easy. Don't need to be gettin' shot. ;)

Had to go batten down some shit outside. Just doing the waiting now.
