Starting to issue voluntary evacuations. Ocean city Md, parts of new york and Delaware. It's just hazy and rainy right now, looks like Seattle or Portland outside. The real fireworks start about 2-5 am tomorrow I think.

We have evacuations going on for the areas a little southwest of me, mostly a little closer to the coast than I am.

I am in CT right on the RI border but about 2 miles in from the coast so not too bad here.
Hunkering down and doing some full site shut downs at work but shouldn't be all that bad.

Power issues will be the real unknown for right now.

Raining pretty good since 1:00 yesterday with wind in the 30MPH / higher gusts. The issue around here is and will be coastal flooding with much higher than normal tides. Lots of inlets off the Chesapeake By around here. Full moon will not help things at all either. Schools already announced they are closed.

I am sitting in PA now and all I see on the news is all the schools closing for the next couple of days around here. I left Thursday from the Dominican in this shit and traveled up here now I gotta get it again. Guess if anyone needs rain just call I will come your way for beer and BBQ.

Im watching regular reports on the BBC 24hour news channel here in the UK and it looks pretty savage already!

There's something quite exciting about the anticipation, but I guess for those people affected by it the reality is going to be anything but! Hope everyone stays safe.

its not really fun. Dog is freaked out, cats are hiding. The trees look like they are going to snap in 2. They just shut down the tydings bridge stretch of I95, which is a major highway that goes up the east coast of the US. We are getting 50+ mph consistent winds now, which makes going over the bridge quite dangerous. They said this is the strongest storm north of carolina in recorded history, and the first time that a nor-easter has combined with a hurricane at it's center. 2 hours west of here could get up to 3 feet of snow, and we are looking at up to 10 inches of rainfall tonight.

I am in DC and it's just some pretty strong wind and rain here. Everything is shut down, but wind is picking up.
I am sick in bed anyhow. It's pretty much like the world stopped.
If power goes out, it will really add to that sensation.

We actually haven't experienced any flooding in my area, but we're in the middle of Mass.

I'm right at the inner harbor in Baltimore. We have a driving ban until noon but it hasn't been too bad. It's raining with some strong gusts. OC, MD has gotten hammered. May need a new place to vacation at next summer.

Looks familiar, about like when Ike took the famous Balinese in Galveston.
