"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
My daughter and her family are hunkered down in Cherry Hill, NJ which is just east of Philly. I think the storm veered further south than originally anticipated, but then this makes her in that deadly Northeast quadrant. I just talked to her and they still had power. My grandson who's 4 had to give me a breathless account of everything storm-related he had seen on TV. He didn't seem to be scared....just intrigued at big twucks lying on their sides and twaffic lites hanging sideways. I am not too worried, but yeah-I am a little. Lots of trees around them. One of them in the backyard had 3 trunks and one trunk has already broken off but it fell away from the house. She said there were 40 mph sustained winds with 70 mph bursts right now-the worst is yet to come.

Southpaw, are you in danger of flooding, or is it mainly the wind?

Flooding is my bigger issue, but who knows what the wind can possibly bring.![]()

Is anyone watching this huge crane dangling from a skyscraper in NYC? Yikes!! If that things falls...oh boy. This is at the very top of the highest residential building in all of NYC.

Good luck Southpaw & Cruisin and everyone else in the storm's way.

A photo of a shark swimming in the streets of Brigantine, NJ. That's not something you see every day.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that shark photo before.

Thoughts and prayers to all in the path of the storm. (((hugs)))
Stay safe all our FSUers!!
Still here. Lost cable for a few minutes, but it's back. I have candles lit just in case. I can't imagine I'm going to have power forever.
Watching "Ask the Governor" and he's being pretty energetic. He said he'll probably need to take a day long nap in a week or so.
