Rookie.
Looks like it's going to hit west of you. Are you hunkering down? Bugging out?

You be safe out there with the fam. If you see a flying cow, you've gone too far. Turn around quickly!!

I didn't realize how bad it is. All of you near that stay hunkered down and stay safe. Good vibes your way.

It's been so hot here that my power conditioner has been showing ~ 112-113v regularly. Usually I am at ~121v.

Yeah, it's not good at all. This girl is a brute. We are in for a wild ride. It's just a shame they couldn't get contraflow into place. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried. This will be a true test I think of flood protection they've been building since Katrina.

Stay safe, Rebekah.

I'm filling up my bathtubs now. Wind is picking up significantly at my house, as I'm sure it is at yours.

I wasn't scared last night, but this morning, I'm actually really really worried to be going through this alone.

You stay safe as well!! The wind is definitely picking up here. I think everyone feels the same way. We knew it was going to intensify but I guess we had hope that wouldn't happen. If you need anything message me.

Will do. Currently, raining with some pretty major gusts. It's still a good south of us so we have some nasty weather coming.

Our weekend was overcast and cool, with highs only in the mid-70's F. Although the cloud cover was holding the heat in overnight, it still got down into the mid-60's and allowed us to give our central AC a 14 hour break.

I didn't hear the USAF Thunderbirds performing yesterday or today at the air show, so I'm guessing the clouds were too low for them to put on their show safely. I heard/saw the F-22 Raptor Demo Team performing, though. Coincidence or jinx, it always seems to be rainy/cloudy when the NY Air Show is scheduled here for late August.....
