Last prediction I saw had it coming right over me.
OUCH!
I am glad I am renting & on 3rd floor.
The windows rattle in this building with 40 mph winds.
The garage has flooded a few times already this year.
This is not going to be fun.
And my pooch won't be happy about not getting outside for a day. She absolutely will not "go" anywhere but on the grass. :-(

PLEASE TURN EAST! (Latest forecast says it will NOT be turning east - strong High in Atlantic keeping it west)

Someone posted a thread in the New York City forum using the phrase "utter destruction." Somehow, I think that will fall short of the mark.

Would you like to share some of that rain with us out here in the completely dry midwest. We are in what is considered and extremely drought ridden area and much of Texas is worse off.

This S. Floridian is keeping her fingers crossed for all those in the potential path.

A Cat 2 hurricane in S. Fl, which is well prepared for these events, leaves a mighty mess.

Right now it looks like the metro NYC area could take it a hit - wouldn't want to be there, if it does...

Hopefully it will make an eastward turn and not hit us too hard....
I'll probably be caught on the news going surfing and swimming....

Again.

I'm in the hurricane path, unfortunately, but since it's gonna be a category one, I don't imagine it'll be too bad. The most I'm worried about is power outage for the most part
