Glad to hear you made it through undscathed DC.

Was watching the weather map and it appeared Rick's area was getting lots and lots of rain.  Same with G9.

Deb, good to know you guys are good.  Same with you Coonass.  Glad to know you're OK.

Checking in from nepa

So far we have 5" of rain and my weather station clocked wind gusts of 67mph. Very windy right now and power just came back on in the last 10 mins. So far no damage just a ton of leaves in the pool.

Gary, greg, deb, carnie1, arnie, habs and the rest of the NE family...Y'all ok out there.

NC Army kids all  good

Looks like it's nearly over except for some wind.  I don't see any damage around the yard.  We had about 7 inches of rain.

We had a few power flicks and it finally went out around 6 AM.  I have the generator running for the house.  The computer and phone is on a UPS, now charging.  There are over 600,000 without power in Connecticut.  They're estimating days for restoration.  At least the coffee machine is working  :)

the CT light & power map is awful dark (pun intended).....  it was going up 100,000 per hour throughout the morning.  I think they said we have more power outages than NJ

Lots of trees down all over the state and water everywhere - all the major rivers are flooding &  Long Island Sound looks like the Atlantic.

At this point we are part of the lucky few that still have power.

Hi y'all....
pat and I are ok..lots of rain and real nasty wind..we lost power about 3am and it's still out we lost the Internet this morning....We are using my iPad to get this message out. via ATT..we lost some shingles off the roof. But that's minor compared to some of the homes around town...
Take care...    Gary and Pat
