Hi Richard. I am up here in Rochester NY. It looks not like we are going to
getthe slam, but the long slow torture, Just watched the news and we are
alreadygetting rain, so We are now being told that we won't actually see the
windswhich are supposed to start Monday, pull out until sometime Thursday.

They are warning them, but I am not sure how serious people are taking it
onthe coast.

I personally fear in our area the wind and the constant rain may be the
causeof downed trees, powerlines etc. Of course like for me that increases
thechances of flooding the basement. And no power is common in my area since
theIce Storm. I lose power for the minimum of 8+ hours a couple of times a
year.You would think I would be smart and save the money for a generator. But
I havenot. Trees are not stable either since the storm. I just hope things go
well,but as I said, I have a bad feeling. Best I am looking at is spending
most ofmy time trying to dry vac the basement. Worse is total loss of power in
thatcase I can do nothing until the damage is already done. I just hope the
treeshold up. Oh well I wish everyone within the path, and especially along
thecoast the best.

That is what they are saying. The Low pressure from the west will meet up
withit, suck it in and keep it's hold over land longer than if that low and
thehigh over the Atlantic weren't there. I just heard in background as I
wasposting this, they are saying certain places in WV may get 50 inches of
snow?Whoa!

Have a good One!
