    Lots of rain here today, and hurricane isn't any where near here as yet. Flooding because the drains aren't able to keep up. Went to Lewiston this AM. Ponding on the roads.

    Hang in there guys and gals. Get extra fuel for generators and saws. Extra food and drink, especially water. Store up some water from your own wells if you can. Get some extra candles too and batteries. For goodness sake, make sure nothing is laying around outdoor that could turn into missiles in a strong wind. Good luck to all.

    This is why, if I had any stacks, they would be in a shed or pole barn...

    During sandy, the gusts were bad enough, but the sustained winds that continued for hours straight with no break is what knocks things down. My son and I stood in a huge field, and were able to lean forward and just hang there. It was intense. I cant even imagine dealing with a cat 2 or more.

    The more westerly track seems like our area will be spared any really bad winds, but those south of philly to about the carolinas- batten down the hatches. With all this rain the east coast is getting, trees will fall. I went as far as ratchet strapping down our roof over the deck.

    The news just said the hurricane to strike land as at least a cat 2, maybe a 3.

    Only problem with it going south and west of us is, usually the north east side of the storm gets the worst of the wind. I've got plenty of water and food. Stopping for gas after I pick the little one up tomorrow. Got a 16hr shift on friday so not much time after work and I sure as he*" aint trying to gas up this weekend while all the crazies are out.

    Thinking we are going to be spared this event in our area, been raining here for over a week already. Sure hope all of you all that are impacted stay safe, and come through this in good shape. Thoughts and prayers with all of you!

    I noticed that one of the gas stations near me raised the price of regular by 15 cents this morning.

    Talk about taking advantage of a dire situation. I hope people go elsewhere until they lower it.

    I'd report that as price gouging.
