Thanks to all on this thread for your good wishes and helpful info.

Jennifer and I are safe at home with a fridge full of food thanks to her superior grocery shopping skills!

It's been raining on and off here in Manhattan. The bad stuff is coming tonight.

So far so good.

That's good news BB. Way to go for Jennifer. As it heads your way, I am here watching the news and hearing about NY being pro-active in preparing for the worst.

BB, One of the things they are fearful of will be the winds pummeling between the tall buildings and breaking windows , then flying glass.
Best wishes to all.

Mare and I went shopping for the second time just to make sure we have what we think we'll need. It's raining here now, but the heavier stuff is coming tonight. I just heard it reached Cape May.

I am so not looking forward to this.

I'm just in from securing the porch furniture against a bracing 4 - 5 mph wind.

I stocked my personal evacuation center earlier today in the event any New Yorkers need rescue. Something for everyone!

Hold your loved ones close, these are dangerous times!

Current news http://www.newser.com/story/127064/s...ane-irene.html claims 5 deaths already. Millions are without power from NC to VA to MD. Flooding and tornadoes are occurring. No flights in or out of these areas and NY. Evacuate if you still can and need to otherwise stay in and be safe. This storm is not a joke. God bless and keep safe everyone in this hurricane's path.

We had a lull in the rain for about an hour, so I went out to the garden and picked every tomato that wasn't completely green. Time to make more sauce!

Argh...I have tomato envy. I just ate my last good tomato. It was quite yummy as a sandwich. Mmmmm.

Here is what I find odd tonight, the birds are once again yapping outside. WTH? They were all silent yesterday, as were the various other animals in Jersey where I am, but tonight they seem to be saying, "Eh, pass the sunflower seeds." This makes me think it is not going to hit Jersey too badly.

I'm riding out the storm on a 14 hr shift at work. I work as a security director for an outlet center. I live in Manassas, which was having power outages when I left for work around 4. We are expecting 30-40 mph, heavy rains and flooding. So far no major damage here.
