It's like a Mondrian weather map.

WV - wind isn't bad yet but the rain got serious this afternoon. Temps have dropped into the 30's so it'll be snow tonight - at which point we'll likely lose power. I have lanterns and a 4-season sleeping bag, cooking candles, etc.

And the university hasn't canceled classes for tomorrow morning! I'm supposed to turn up for an 8:00 Biostats class.

Lights are flickering, NJ and Long Island Facebookers are reporting power out. Any moment now I expect to be out. If it goes, I'll try to check in one more time by phone's mobile hotspot.

No I'm still at the old house. I take delivery of the key on the new place on Thursday, but I won't move in right away. If the place is still standing.

Drizzled for about ten minutes here, then quit again. I still have my window open; the curtains've flapped a bit at a few gusts in the last hour or so but it's still actually really nice out. Thinking about popping out for a few beers and some dinner before the rain hits.

The Defense Logistics Agency posted this Photo: Okay, this is crazy! A shark swimming in the streets of Brigantine, NJ #hurricaneSandy

I hope everyone put shark repellant in their survival kit.

Water is one thing that makes transformers go boom.

Hurricane Sandy sounds like an awesome dessert.
