Bad news in the last forecast. The storm is tracking more to the west. That means more people get high winds and heavy rains. Hopefully it turns hard right once it gets back over water.

My husband just told me that the Weather Channel is saying that the storm "will push Long Island sound into NYC". What the hell does that mean?

Means NYC is going to get flooded. All the water will spill right into the city.

The center of the storm is ~12 hours away, and the "cone of uncertainty" is still like 500 miles wide! Thought it would be narrowing down by now.

What it means is power outages.

Storm was slightly overhyped. they were calling for a foot of rain at one point

It tracked slightly more to the west than expected and was also faster than expected. Newark got 10" of rain as it was just west of the track. If it moved as slowly as expected, they would have gotten well over a foot.

A huge tree in our backyard came down and fell across our neighbor's driveway. I'm not sure if it was my tree or theirs. I'll probably get my chainsaw out to clear it when the storm ends.

At he height of the hurricane, with the full fury of nature and Long Island Sound manifesting itself outside my back door, I'm perusing the Boneyard. Is there something wrong with that?

Just saw a Wallingford municipal truck go by with a snow plow! I assume the guy is going to push trees and branches off the road. Pretty bizarre sight for August.
