    They have since derated the storm... we're pretty "safe" where we are now. I'll probably lose my direcTV and i have a feeling a few tree's in my front yard are going down... but i dont have to worry about flooding or anything. If we lose power for an extended period of time we'll shoot over to one of our parents house while everythings getting fixed

    Our plan was to spend a couple of months running up and down the east coast. We are going to sit this Hurricane out by staying here in West Virginia until it is all clear. I am supposed to fly to Denver for a two hour meeting at the first of the week but I think the flight might be cancelled out of Dulles Monday morning.

    I feel asleep and nothing was bad enough to wake me up. It was looking like we were going to get nailed but then it turned East at just the right moment the outer rain bands of the storm are 30 miles east of me right now.

    I just got done moving my lawn furniture around and other small "prep" stuff. Though i think it's going to be a tropical storm rating by the time it actually hits us here (we're at the top of Cat 1 range now).

    Starting to get some rain... glad i decided to take care of outside before my coffee!

    There are easily 75+mph gusts out here... And I JUST heard a tree snap in half... Here is a pic of where my vehicles are.... nearest tree is 200ft from me.... All the debris from it is being negated by this wall... but there is a lot of tree debris on the roads.

    Matt, where are you at. I saw they just declared an "emergency" in NJ for some reason. (not ny or ct) You must be south of me because it's not raining here yet.

    I'm just south of Rt195.

    They're declaring emergencies in all of the coastal regions (and evacuating) because they're expecting a high surge, lots of rain, and its all hitting during high tide (full moon too).

    Not to mention they're REALLY trying to drive home the "Get out of here" to all of the vacationers who are obviously more reluctant to leave. The sooner they leave the better otherwise we're looking at major traffic delays.

    Damn... lol just checked the weather again, it changed since last night. Now we're back smack dab in the middle of the Cat 1 range. Guess it didn't slow down as much as they expected. Last night we were at the very top of the Cat 1 range
