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.
