Apparently, we've got another friend named Sandy that is coming to visit and I don't think she's going to be very nice.
I live slightly west of Washington, DC and thankfully, it looks like the track has moved a little north. Better for us, not so great for New York or New Jersey.
Typical for this type of "event", our local news channels are walking the fine line of providing warnings sprinkled with a few hints at impending doom.
This morning's forecast is showing torrential downpours, 45-60 mph sustained winds and by Tuesday? Snow.
I've decided to err on the side of caution. You may remember the Derecho that knocked us off the power grid for almost 3 days.
Flashlights, candles and matches are gathered.
Extra jugs of water are in the fridge.
We have a case of bottled water.
And, we still have the generator that saved us during the last storm.
At least it's not 90 degrees like it was in July.
Let's just hope Sandy's bark is worse than her bite. Wish us luck!

I'm with you on all of this. I am suppose to be in DC on Monday for work but am contemplating canceling. Sounds like it will be crazy! I live down in Roanoke and we are expecting some nasty weather, too.
I hope it's not as bad, too. Be safe. My husband is on a flight home from Philadelphia right now. It was delayed earlier because of the weather there. We have lots of family on the East coast, too. Just want everyone to be safe!
