Well on the positive side, we should have lots of "home repair" questions in a few days when internet goes back up.
How many of our experts live in the prime danger zone?

A third of the US has been under attack by Mother Nature, and you Canadians don't know?

What happens in the US stays in the US. ;)
Actually, I haven't been keeping up to date with the US, there's been too much election stuff, and I've lost interest.
Now that I know that mother nature is being mean, I hope all our friends are safe and sound. I also you keep that stuff on your side of the border. ;)

I added her name. (I just talked with my brother who lives near her -- mostly rain and wind came their way, so I think she is okay weatherwise, but may have trees down, etc.)

I am about an hour from the coast. We are wet and slightly wind-blown (and now cold), but nothing major.
LadySam is down here in North Carolina, but I think she is closer to the middle of the state. I don't know how they are doing. Most of the state is still getting some rain and winds. Part of it is getting ice and snow. Unfortunately, it really isn't all that strange for NC.
I have forgotten where Sariss is located but I thought she was NY state.
It looks like the storm went west of Bella.
WG, looking at the radar images, it looks like it might even affect Chicago. That would put you and Stringer in the path, too.

I'm in CT, but not near the coast, and all we had was wind. A lot of power is out in places.
It looks like ScottGem was last here around 6:20 pm yesterday.

Southeast ontario, where I am, got high winds last night, possibly 80k or so. Very little rain, but you could actually see it coming from the south across lake ontario at us, which is the way they said it would approach.
Rain off and on today, some trees down in town.

So far here, just rain and cold, some wind but nothing to worry about.
The NC coast took a nice hit this past weekend I think.
Hope everyone stays safe.

I talked to my family in NS, NB and PEI. Mainly rain and winds. I also have a niece in Toronto and they got it worse. One lady was killed by a sign (I think that is what it was) falling on her. Bad storm all around.
For pet owners shelters on Facebook are listing where you can go with your pets if you have to seek shelter. NYC has a law during times like this no taxi, bus, subway etc can refuse to take you if you have your pets leashed or crated.
Please everyone stay safe and follow your local governments advice. Thank you to all first responders who are helping the people and pets!

I was just about to post. Power went out at 6:50 PM Monday. This is the first I was able to get on the Net since then. Company had no Net until just a few minutes ago.
No damage to home or family, but I don't expect power to be restored until next week. So I will have limited time online until then.
Thanks for thinking about me.
P.S. Judy should be OK, the storm veered back East so the Buffalo area received just a glancing blow.
