Most of the public safety agencies I work with are in the NY/NJ area and Boston so it was a long night trying to stay one jump ahead of the technical issues (read: outages I can fix) and political issues (read: outages I can't fix).
I am fine, just sleep deprived. And whiney...LOL.
I just want to know how many Maglites gave their lives to help you through this
So far, seems like the greater DC area wasn't hit too hard. Power outages, some flooding, but, really, I think we got hit harder over the summer by the Derecho event. Might be wrong; I'm only just getting up and haven't really watched or followed much news so far today. Ended up chasing falling trees and power lines in the peak of the storm around here last night. Wet, windy -- but really, not the worst I've been in.For those that were effected by it....how did everyone make out? For me, it wasn't that bad while I was at work. However, as the night went on, the rain and wind was quite strong! I was fortunate to not lose power. However, when I arrived at work this morning, my midnight shift co-workers, some of whom worked last evening, said it was crazy...lots of wires/poles/trees down. Flooding...again, I was fortunate, however, there were many areas in the state that got hit very hard. Sadly a few lives were lost as well as some homes that caught on fire and were unable to be reached by the FD, due to flooding.
Bayville. Yea, they got trashed.Lots of rain and wind in Philly, some flooding and downed trees around. Most New Jersey shore towns weren't so lucky, though.
This is the island near where I grew up:

Gemini, where is your brother's house? I hope they didn't suffer too much damage.
Hahahaha...I had a package in my hand at Costco when I was doing my storm prep! Just...couldn't...resist
