Very smart, I live north of Sunrise highway, so we are sticking it out(valley stream) So far so good but the rain is really starting to come down with some strong gusts. Sorta waiting for the morning the eye could pass right over us lol excited about that.

Goddamnit .... just lost power in Perry Hall, MD. Yeah I should shut up since the average TStorm is worse than current conditions.

[Kurokikaze]

Gonna pass out and sleep through most of it. Stay safe my BG brethren.

We are suddenly getting nothing. No rain, mild wind. Calm before the storm.

They have been a handful of warnings in addition to the all-encompassing tornado watch? I just don't keep track of which ones are in Jersey and when since it doesn't bother me in anyway, and I know there was a warning near there earlier.

I'm still supposed to work (driving for newspaper co) 5a-11a in the morning. Bosses better get their act together. they called me a few hours ago and were like "business as usual. its not gonna be as bad as theyre saying." Oh cuz theyre all of a sudden meteorologists now and newspaper redelivery is life+death situation

[Cail]

Looked like times Square just lost power temporarily

Thats a local news station here in Ct, with a streaming broadcast all night. They have at least 4 reporters down on the CT shore, maybe more, plus a few others around CT for anyone who might be interested in watching. not as cool as bad-ass pier cam though

Edit: Last report, at least 10,000 without power here in CT. We also apparently have a landslide alert....

Between 2 inches and a foot of rain could fall as Hurricane Irene strikes Connecticut and the U.S. Geological Survey has issued a landslide alert in the state due to the expected rainfall totals.

Gov. Dannel Malloy is warning that additional urban flooding is possible as heavy rain bands that result in more than 1-inch per hour move south to north ahead of the storm.
