We are in a particularly bad area I think.. As the thing goes west the
top edge will be slaughtering us with full force winds, and as it wraps
around us and turns to the north and out again, we will be on the right
side of the storm for what they feel may be a full 36 hours of full
force hurricane rain AND wind... This is gonna' **** us up bad.

Maybe not, Scott. Hope not at least, but at least you have your
generator handy. Now would be a good time to do a test fire before
anything hits.

Yes, and also get some extra jerry jugs of fuel. If power goes out
over a wide spread area, the gas stations can't pump even though they
have it. After Hurricane Charlie in 2004 my neighbor and I were
taking turns driving 30+ miles to find filling stations that were
open.

Be careful of carbon monoxide. There are always a few casualties
after every big storm from people running the generator too close to
the house (or in the garage).

We have a good spot and are not really in a CO2 situation with the size
of the house and the gen outside... Looks like the storm is going to
turn north further west of us so at least we won't be that wheel hub
that it rotates around, about 60 miles out as we thought...

Although I still plan on losing power, it it starting to look to me like
the storm is gonna stay south, and then a bit west of us enough that we
will probably not get the 36 hour Hurricaine I was expecting yesterday.
I guess 50+ Mph winds, with bands, as opposed to 90+ with steady rain...
If you are interested, look at a map. I am just east and north of
Hartford, on the map at the intersection of route 84 and 91. If you draw
a cross on the state that puts us right about in the center of the
cross, dead center of the state...

The Jersey Shore is taking a bit of a battering, but my understanding is
it is no longer a hurricane. The wind speeds are enough, but I'm hearing
that it has been joined by that other low pressure system. At any rate,
it's a very disorganized storm with no eye that I can see.

I'm about 70 miles north of where it is to make landfall, and I'm
surprised so far. The wind is shaking the trees, but so far I haven't
seen many go down, and we have had much less rain than I was expecting.
As it hasn't made landfall, this could all change, and I'm sure other
places are getting whacked pretty good.
