My parents evacuated out of Cape May on Thursday afternoon. Their house is relatively new, but still, they're only about 2 miles from the ferry terminal. The back of their lot has some tall trees in it that I'm guessing will lose some branches. My hope is that the tidal surge doesn't go that high but I can almost gaurantee they'll have some roof damage and probably a broken window or two from tree damage.
It's been a tough year for my parents. Last winter my dad had a heart attack, he lost his mother a few months later, and now this. I think my mom is going to have a nervous breakdown.

I went to the supermarket today to pick up a few last-minute "just in case" things (extra duct tape, batteries, extra water) and people were acting like it was the end of the world. The store was cleaned out of water, except for a few 6-packs of the expensive bottled water brands. The checkout lines stretched into some of the food aisles.

i didnt leave for the storm, well technically i left Virginia Beach and went to Belvidere NC.
We are supposed to get the worst part of the storm down here in NC and i was already spposed to come down, so i decided to see how bad this "hurricane" gets.
power went out and we turned on the generator, got allot of food and drink so im just laying around hoping my car doesnt blow away.

I'm at work and the can't leave till someone relieves me and I got about 50 leaks, 5 alarms and the river on our property is about 20 feet closer to our buildings and about 5 from our road. It's going to be a hell of a weekend...

It wasnt bad per se here, but right now we are overloaded with calls for service for trees down everywhere....trees on houses, cars, blocking roads, down powerlines on fire. Even had a deputy respond to a downed tree and while on the call a tree fell across the road behind him so now hes stuck till BGE can move the power lines.
Also have a couple working house fires in the area, one involving a 4 person rescue so I cant say its a fluke really.

this is it? I was looking forward to spending the storm out on the boat(they call the fishing boats off most piers when sustained winds are over 70). the rain is all to the east of me so this looks like just a windy day!
hope everyone else fairs alright!!!

Only a couple of tree limbs down, a few split, and some ponding in south central PA. I was expecting a lot worse. The river areas are expected to flood, though. Certain areas lost power, but not where I live. So for me it really wasn't that bad. We've had "typical" thunderstorms that have been worse than this.
I hear that eastern PA was hit a lot harder.

Sitting in my living room now on wifi and have electricity 
I live on a main rd between southington and bristol, so I doubt if at all I'll lose power. CLP hates when they give credits back to ESPN, Im sure.
