Hope all goes well reguardless. As a rookie weather monitor I know things can change real fast even here on the west coast. Its been an interest of mine for years to watch my own weather data along with other local personal weather stations and compare it with Radar data.

Some of the best floods here were not perdictided for 48+ hours till we formed a Local weather spotter program.

My wife and her family are freaking out. We are about 20 miles off the east end of Lake Ontario.

So far, our forecast has "high winds" of 25-30 mph.

I doubt the coastal Atlantic areas will get off as light though.

Best of luck to my friends and relatives those states.

I'm in VT and after the last one you have to take notice when they say it could be bad rain fall. Not sure if anyone saw the pictures up and down RT100 (south) but we had whole buildings distroyed houses that were taken right of there foundations. The nice little streams turned into rolling walls of rocks and mud. So I'll take the time and do what I can to make sure the place can handle the rain and if it doesn't come well all the better.

I've changed my schedule to accomodate the storm because . . .





















I might drive my wife into work rather than having her take the train. [:D]

I think the main reason for the panic is if everything comes together just right it could flood the New York subways. I think the last time they were worried about that was the "Perfect Storm" several years ago. I think they dodged the bullet on that one.
