I hope all the readers of this forum in the Eastern U.S. get through the storm with minimal damage and injury.

Made it through unscathed in MD. Thanks for the concern. My niece is in lower NYC and, while dry, is in the dark.

Would our dynamic trio of Michigan Tech grads be surfing right now on Lake Superior??

They'd be having a heckuva good time on Lake Michigan! Waves to thirty feet.

Hope everyone is more or less OK.

Also in Maryland, we had 6.4" in 36 hours at my house; about 6 weeks worth of rain under "normal" circumstances. Not that this year has been normal (dry!). If I remember properly, this brings us up to about where we should have been for rainfall-to-date.

We lucked out; not much wind, and while the power sagged enough to trigger UPSs a few times, the lights never actually went off. Even though we could hear trees arcing against power-lines and the odd transformer exploding...

There was a beautiful picture in the Washington Post in Monday's paper showing, was it Nag's Head? The sea-foam being blown to look like a pretty significant blizzard!

But yeah, New York sounds brutal.
