If I'm still around Monday, I'll report back on the damage we sustain in
my town, 8 miles from the PA border here in NJ.

Okay... So here is the situation... We lost power for a total of around 20
minutes at the house. Heavy rain caused a bit of erosion of my landscaping
and I had plenty of time to work on the generator since my shop was
powerless until Tuesday morning.

The heavy rain around us in farm country, NJ wasn't such a problem as the
local streams handled it pretty well. The only major problem we have in
town is that the water rushed down a hillside, across a roadway removing the
guard rails and road surface and dumped it all into the local stream where
it was promptly washed away. Some downed trees due to the wind.

Next town over still has some power outages and of course some downed trees.

My son's school (high school - started last Thursday) was closed Monday and
is operational today.

Here at work, we are 750' from the Passaic River which is at a historic
flood stage. We are fine here but didn't have power yesterday. ...Actually,
that's a lie. We had partial three phase to the building which was about as
useful as no power.

I thought you were in Millington. that's a long way from the Passaic
river. The Passaic river always floods in Wayne west of 23. I think
all the houses along the river there have davits above the garage. : )
