Yes, the hurricane wasn't as bad as forecast. But that why it's called a forecast; it's based on models using on historical data and simulations.

Some of the TV channels get carried away but when don't they? They want watchers...

I think that all the precautions taken in the NY metropolitan area were prudent. I can tell you that there were some really strong winds last night and a LOT of tree movement... All of our local highways were closed today because of downed trees.

My power has been out for over 12 hours now and I'm currently using a portable generator. Don't know when power will be back.

anybody have pictures?

OBX/VB took the burnt of it, but it wasn't horrible, as hurricanes go. Did some grilling, had a few drinks, and played texas hold-em by candle-light for a bit last night.

Getting ready to go by good friend's speed shop and get the X5 off of the rack. 4Runner has leaves and crap on it. 3000GT's (garage ornaments) are clean as always. Found "a" shingle on the ground which may not even be mine. Power is back up, cleaned the yard, and now it's time for a shower.

Hope you coastal guys are doing well with getting things normal again. It could have been worse, that's for sure. Great practice run for Philly, NYC, etc.

CFO's out of power and is conserving battery life on the iPhone, so my update is a little stale. All I know is that her chainsaw is at the ready. Our house fared well for Maine, which had some bad floods, lots of bridges down and lots of trees down, but most of the new urban sprawl had a little more of a problem with flooding and damage
