   Hi Richard. I am up here in Rochester NY. It looks not like we are going to   
   getthe slam, but the long slow torture, Just watched the news and we are   
   alreadygetting rain, so We are now being told that we won't actually see the   
   windswhich are supposed to start Monday, pull out until sometime Thursday.

   They are warning them, but I am not sure how serious people are taking it   
   onthe coast.

   I personally fear in our area the wind and the constant rain may be the   
   causeof downed trees, powerlines etc. Of course like for me that increases   
   thechances of flooding the basement. And no power is common in my area since   
   theIce Storm. I lose power for the minimum of 8+ hours a couple of times a   
   year.You would think I would be smart and save the money for a generator. But   
   I havenot. Trees are not stable either since the storm. I just hope things go   
   well,but as I said, I have a bad feeling. Best I am looking at is spending   
   most ofmy time trying to dry vac the basement. Worse is total loss of power in   
   thatcase I can do nothing until the damage is already done. I just hope the   
   treeshold up. Oh well I wish everyone within the path, and especially along   
   thecoast the best.

   That is what they are saying. The Low pressure from the west will meet up   
   withit, suck it in and keep it's hold over land longer than if that low and   
   thehigh over the Atlantic weren't there. I just heard in background as I   
   wasposting this, they are saying certain places in WV may get 50 inches of   
   snow?Whoa!   
      
   Have a good One!
