It ain't doin #^&#^&#^&#^& here. No rain right now and barely any wind. I got rain at 3 for about 20 min and that's it for heavy stuff.

Where's the beef

We already had a tree come down on wires and cut the power out in town. Lots of rain and wind is getting stronger. Best is yet to come!

Wind kicked it up a notch over the last half hour here just north of the Canal. I'd say (without any way to measure) 35-40 sustained, with gusts 50+. We had a very strong gust about 20 minutes ago that took the power out for about a second. The CPU and modem held, but I had to re-set my monitor.

I looked at a wind chart and the heaviest stuff is still ahead of us. Right now we appear to be in a 35-40 band, but there's a 55 band south. I don't know whether it'll reach us this far east. We caught a break when this made landfall inside NYC. 40-50 miles farther out on LI we'd be looking at 60 mph winds with hurricane force gusts.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
