Here in Western Long Island Sound the storm is beginning to break up.
There is no longer a visible eye on the radar and rotation seems to be
slowing down as well. NHC is now calling it a tropical storm. We had
heavy rain and gusts to 40 kts all through the night but both are now
easing up. Based on the radar it looks like the rain will stop within
the hour. Waves on Long Island Sound are still very gnarly, close to
7 footers during the night and still very rough. The web cam at a
local yacht club shows water almost at the top of the sea wall and
there's still another 2 hours until high tide. Wave heights south of
Block Island, where we were last week, are reported at 23 feet but
they should start backing down soon.

that's good news. here near philly at the ambulance station, we still
have high winds and some flooded roads we've seen during calls (been a
busy morning). lots of power outages.

checked the marina camera. last night at 2AM the water was over the
bulkhead in the parking lot. looks like it's receded but the water
level is still high. this is high tide so hope it drops quickly. still
waiting for an email from some local friends (once they get back on
long beach island) about the condition of the boat.
