York PA is now in the swirl.

Lots of rain. Wind is out of an unusual direction, but not too heavy. No thunder. So far, its a non-event.

Salisbury, MD...and surrounding areas back under a tornado watch. Something else to watch for while waiting for the actual event, I guess.

We should get hit here in the overnight hours, for now just heavy rain. Spent the day at work packing cars into the shop, securing windows, etc. 914's are tucked away in their garages and safe. My Jetta has got a full tank of diesel in case the need to go anywhere arises.

Hope everyone else on the east coast stays safe! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

knock on wood, things look they're winding down a little in SE VA. High tide was over an hour ago, so the chance of flooding should decrease as the storm pulls away. We'll see what daylight brings . . .

Stay safe--especially those still in Irene's path.

Please those that are in the warning area... Stay at home.. I live in Puerto Rico and we are use to these naturals phenomena’s and no matter how prepare we are….there’s always people wondering around during the hurricane and those are the ones that get hurts…. Irene passed through here the August 21/22 and was beginning to be a category 1.
The winds were not that bad. Many places without electrical power and no water. That’s why is always recommended to store water. There still people here with no power and no water.
What is bad is the rain after the hurricane. Here rained about 20 inches the day after the hurricane.
Here is a video after Irene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_6cxrnNPNM...feature=related
Be safe and don’t touch any down power line!!!!
God Bless!!!!

The power went out here for about 8 hours this morning.

We have some rain and some wind. Not too bad.

All's seemingly well here now. Sunny and very windy. I truly thank God we didn't lose power--which is what we had all been anticipating. I thank him for his protection too.

I work for a Midwestern power utility. We released all of our contractors from their contracts to head your way to put the overhead lines back together. There was also talk of taking a bunch of my crews and heading East to help you guys out. Glad to hear it's not as bad as anticipated. I could use the OT but wasn't looking forward to 2 weeks of living out of a hotel away from the family.

Hope everyone made it through safely; looks like it didn't do near as much damage as originally expected or at least that is what the news is saying.

I did my fair share of hurricanes in both Hawaii, NC and Georgia, hope what the news is saying is true for all and no one took a major hit.

From the south side of Washington DC:

Many neighborhoods lost power. Ours was out only a short time. Lots of small branches came down and a few trees.

In short, it looked like the typical aftermath of an intense summer afternoon thunderstorm - but instead of being localized as those storms usually are, it was everywhere.

Took the kids for a bike ride this morning along the Potomac River. River looks full, but not unusually so. Our ride started out under solid overcast, and we actually got to watch as the last of the storm moved out to the north and revealed gorgeous blue skies for the rest of our day.

My house is on a barrier island off of southern NJ. Had a mandatory evacuation on Friday night. I took the storm in Philly. Going back to the island tomorrow to check for damage. It's only 7 miles long and 1/2 mile wide, but from news reports, I'm optimistic that things won't be too bad!! Seems like most of the major flooding occurred inland.

We had some tree damage, but nothing too horrible. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some calls from the tree people to get the freshly dead stuff trimmed off.

Minimal damage in Hagerstown. what a difference 20 miles and South Mountain makes. Matt had a locust tree in his back yard that came apart, but that's pretty much what locusts do in high wind.

Looks like a bunch of linemen and I are heading your way on Wednesday morning. Hopefully Motel 6 has power to keep a light on for us. With over 3 million people out of power it's hard to say no. Sounds like a 3 week tour. Hopefully it gets wrapped up sooner.
