   Exactly what I thought.  If I hadn't been following the news, I would   
   have thought it was just another heavy rainstorm, the kind we get once   
   or twice a year.  This morning I looked at the creek (the one that   
   overflowed and soaked my place after Hurricane Irene last year) and it   
   wasn't even higher.  The more rural parts of Dutchess County had wind   
   damage and power losses, but that's not unusual either.  Farther south,   
   NYC and especially Philadelphia, there was major damage.  Good thing for   
   both of us that it hit land around Cape May, NJ instead of farther north.

   predicts it going through Buffalo and Toronto, missing Syracuse.
