Anyone else following this bad boy as he (she, rather) marches boldly up the East Coast and carves a swath of destruction? Sort of a theoretical path of destruction, actually, but everyone seems pretty convinced that this is going to be a potent storm.

Weather.com's page on the hurricane. They're saying 29 million people are now under the Hurricane Warning.

I'm in Pennsylvania right now, so it looks like we'll be getting hit at least fairly hard by the storm. Unfortunately for my college, it's move-in weekend and a lot of folks are being delayed in their travel plans. Fortunately the First-years moved in today so their orientation shouldn't be interrupted too much. Hell of a way to commemorate starting college, though.

Anyway! Just thought I'd open up a topic about it.

Haven't actually been looking at sat pictures. That's pretty tremendous stuff there lad.

Laskon has promised us storm stories when his schedule calms a bit. He is fine and has had power for some time now. Looking forward to the adventure tale!
