I'm right in the line of fire (four mile drive from the George

Being this prepared, I fully expect the storm to be nothing more than
a breeze a drizzle.

It was pretty much a non event at our house. *We did get a lot of
rain, but not close to the prediction of 12 to 14 inches. *The creek

Our power was out 5am Sunday through 10pm Sunday. Cable & internet
were out from about 11am to a few minutes after the power came back
(I'm thinking Time Warner doesn't have enough backup power). My
generator carried the load for my house and ran three neighbors' sump
pumps as well.

We (the neighbors and I) consumed a pint of bourbon.

All in all, it could have been much worse for me. One of my customers,
in East Brunswick, has five feet of water in his (finished and
furnished) basement.
