Ho-hum.
I should make a post to let y'all know I'm alive, if anyone's still out there.
The hurricane isn't too bad from where I'm sitting; it's just like Irene was last year with lots of wind. All bark and no bite. I know other parts of the city and outlying area have it bad, but I'm relatively inland, high and dry. We've got all our power (it might have flickered once or twice, I don't know), and we've got hot water, so we're good. There's food and bottled water just in case, but I'm pretty sure life will go on in the Carey household without missing a beat.
The center of the storm is still like 100 miles (160 km) south of here (so we're not suffering hurricane-strength winds, which are further south. Not that we don't have strong wind as it is!) but it looks like it'll only graze the southern part of Jersey before hooking a left and landing in Delaware and coming up through Maryland and central PA. We'll still get shit on here tomorrow, but Halloween will likely be safe. Good. I wanna see some Trick-or-Treaters and I have errands to run. :D
But how's that for nasty storms on Oct. 29 two years in a row? It snowed last year!
tl;dr - Don't worry about me, guys. :D
