Definitely no work tomorrow. Subway won't open any time soon. I plan to work from home again. If I lose power, I'll just dick around and finish a couple of books.
We could do GeekNights with the Marantz even if there's no power, if one of us can get to the other's place. ;^)
Just had a wind gust that made me put both hands on the wheel, and its getting dark to the north and east.
If you get whisked away to an alternate universe, try to look for the alternate universe version of me. There's a pretty good chance he can help you out.
Things are blowy here in Manassas, but we're still doing ok. Getting some chores done.
That's pretty close to where my in-laws live (they're in Haymarket). Guess the power failure they've got is somewhat localized.
The City of Manassas generally has their shit together as far as utilities go. I think all our lines are buried. Can't speak about Haymarket is further out, maybe more trees?

Dude, you live in Manassas? We should hang sometime.
Over 300,000 homes without power in CT. We've been lucky so far but apparently the shifting storm is going to bring more wind into the Farmington Valley soon...
Well, a tree just fell and came within about 10 feet of my house. It did take out a good chunk of the fence in my backyard, but at least the house is fine. Of course, my my dog doesn't have her playpen until we get that fence fixed/replaced/etc.

That happened to us/our dogs in the last two storms. So far so good right now. The power keeps flickering and the wind is getting much stronger.
I'm lucky enough to live on a hill area nowhere near the sea. It is an absolute miracle that the power hasn't gone out yet. I think after the catastrophe on our street that Irene made us go through, it was a good idea that the arborists came and cut down all the bad trees and branches. However, I'm willing to bet that I won't have any sort of power by tomorrow.
Just found out (in the worst way) that my living room's window is not secure. Just swung open while me and the Mrs. were watching Paranormal Activity. She, of course, screamed, and I LOL'ed. I then duct taped the everliving shit out of the window, and am having the super replace it once the storm passes.
With each gust the house actually seems to lift up a bit and then settle back down. We are definitely getting 70+ MPH winds now, probably 80+, but I can only base that on intuition. It's stronger than I've ever heard.
There is definitely a lot of wind now. Basically constant gusting. I hear a lot of things rattling around outside. Still not as bad as the hurricanes when I was a kid. I will always remember the one that blew the shed over the rock wall.

Edit: Just saw the image on the news in the bar I'm at.
