Yep...I can verify all of that! And, get a battery powered radio.

Fortunately we have a whole house generator so we're good to go....

Hoping for a *fizzle*, but not a stall dumping rain forever. Let us know how you're faring.

Stay safe everyone. Sounds like its not going to veer off as everyone hoped.

I’m right on the border of where maps are split between tropical storm and hurricane. The worst of it should be around 8-10am. There are a couple big trees that always make me nervous. More nervous for my sister and her new waterfront Hamptons house. She’s technically not in a flood zone but her next door neighbors are.

Stay safe everyone!

Be careful...stay safe!

We place water bottles in our extra freezer (empty juice 1/2 gal containers). When the power goes out I'll place 2-3 of these ice blocks in our refrigerators. It'll save me some time before getting the generator ready and can keep the fridges cold like an ice chest for a day. This is basically how an "icebox" worked in the ol' daze.

Charging devices and filling water containments. Several categories: potable for me. potable for my chickens and quail. washable. Flushable. The chickens mostly will get the water runoff from their coops' metal roofing.

Keep plenty of D and AA batteries around. Car is nearly full of gas. Disposable plastic gloves were useful for me back on several occasions in 2011 when we got slammed with Hurricane Irene, followed by "Snowmaggedeon". I got to grill chicken dinners and keep my hands clean without running a bunch of water.

My freezers are totally full.

Take care everyone in the path. Haven't read the news today so I'm kinda in the dark.

Stay safe! Hopefully there won't be any bad damages!

Latest update shows landfall at the CT/RI border so those to the east will be getting the worst winds, those to the west the worst rain. We will probably get around 6" or so of rain is my best guest but sustained winds in the 20-30 mph range so not too bad, but nasty and could easily take trees down when the ground is soaked and they're loaded with leaves. So I suspect we'll lose power somewhere along the line. But right now, it's dry and calm but cloudy.

Raining hard in bands on outer Cape but not too much wind yet. Storm surge is going to be the biggest problem at high tide. We're ready if we lose power but really keeping our fingers crossed .that it doesn't happen.

How's everyone....so far? Good news to report....I hope....

All of the tourists left yesterday after depleting our gasoline stations of fuel and then sitting in their cars for hours to cross the bridges, but we only got 1/2" of rain. No wind damage or power outages. We were lucky.

So far it's just been a rainy day, no high winds, no excess rainfall.

Same here -- I'm happy! Other folks may not have been so fortunate, especially along the coast.

I was worried for the Cape and Islands. Glad they were spared.

Is 'no news' 'good news', KT friends in the East?
