Husband and daughter have found the Halloween candy. We can't find the flashlights, but I guess we can burn peanut butter cups wrappers.

2. According to this article it's hitting near Atlantic City NJ right about now

----------------
"The storm’s quicker-than-expected forward motion means it will make landfall about two hours sooner than previously anticipated. Landfall is now expected around 6 p.m. this evening, near or just south of Atlantic City, N.J. This doesn’t change the forecast much for coastal New Jersey, but it could greatly complicate coastal flooding projections for New York Harbor."

4. I understand

Most of my family is either on Delmarva or a little further down in eastern VA and coastal NC. Lots of reasons to keep in touch--so far they're OK.

That's why I'm here at DU...watchin' and worrying....

7. I love Cape May, I hope your house gets spared from the storm's wrath. It can be scary

down on the Southern Jersey Shore during this kind of weather. Flooding happens so quickly.
