We're not supposed to get hit very badly here in the Triangle area of NC, and while I'm real glad not to be relocated back up in CT as of yet (never thought I'd say that!), I'm wishing you all a safe weekend - I'm thinking about my friends in the Hartford area, and all of you on CD... stay safe, prepare and take care!

Yeah, I knew it would probably be pretty bad up there when I saw last evening that the Weather Channel sent Jim Cantore to NYC instead of Wrightsville Beach.

FYI- Some coworkers mentioned this morning that some Stop & Shops and Walmarts are already out of bottled water. I went supply stocking this morning at BJs. Plenty of water and it looked like they had many pallets on hand. Gas lines are a little crazy at almost every station I passed. The cashier at BJs said it looked like Christmas Eve last night with all of the lines. If, like me, you are on well water and have no generator, get water sooner rather than later!

Haha..my wife said the same thing..I had the weather channel on and she saw Cantore in NY and said uh-oh...thats the cross-hairs for this eye!! I think he should go over to Southern Long Island and stand on one of the dunes out there..give us a real feel for the weather..
