We've had a ton of rain and alot of wind, but thankfully my five big oak trees are still standing and have all their branches. Glad I live on high ground.

Saw some of that on the news this morning. It's finally stopped raining here but still windy.

Looks like it stopped raining here, too, although they're forecasted plenty more through tomorrow. I suspect I won't be going to the gym tonight (15 minute walk each way).

Just as i had decided to go into town and to the gym, a big gust of wind came up. I'll take that as a sign, I hate driving in the wind.

I received an email from the USS Eisenhower describing what a nor' easter was. Haven't heard from my son. They usually take the ship out when it gets bad. Hope things clear up soon for you guys on the east coast!

3rd Nor'easter since mid Sept. Well 4 if you count the double whammy a couple of weeks ago.
I'm wishing I had packed an overnight bag - not sure I can/want to try to go home tonight. There will be at least a foot of water at my front door. The last storm I had water over top of my first step - and by tomorrow after 3 more high tides, I expect it to be to the 2nd step. The price we pay for living in paradise. I do have my boots in the car though so if I attempt it I can park a few blocks away and walk in for a look see, perhaps to grab a change of clothes and my laptop and and go find a motel on higher ground. Ugh.
Winds here are gusting to 55 mph, waves are 22' high, every 10-12 seconds, and no relief till Saturday.
