Hurricane isn't stopping the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, that's some dedication!

Crane in NYC on a new building looks horrendous hope the street is cleared quickly and safely.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and I'm looking real hard to find one here.

Fortunately, most of my leaves are already down. The ones that aren't (maybe 5%) will be after tomorrow. I'm noticing with this increasing NE wind my leaves are being blown through my property right into the stream behind my house. The top of my property is almost clean. Now, assuming this wind doesn't shift around too much and the stream doesn't rise up and flood my property and return the leaves to my yard, I won't have much leaf removal left!

I'm grasping at straws here guys.

No injury reported, fortunately.

But it shows the power of the wind.

I'm actually hoping the wind quickly strip the leaves off the trees round me, so that would reduce the chance of branches breaking and taking down power lines with them!

And I also hope any branches near power lines already broken from last October's Frankenstorm so there aren't too many to hurt the lines.

Basically, my main worry is prolong power outage so that's what I'm staring out the window at. For people on the coast, they have a lot more to worry about. Fingers crossed, for all

I read somewhere that this storm will stir everything up and cause winter to get here faster...More straws for ya!

I just took my dog for a walk, lots of branches down and debris. One big old maple tree just up the road snapped and took out a neighbors car.

I'm in Dutchess County. Gusts are getting up there now. I live on a trout stream, so that's my main concern. It has never come close to threatening the house, but you never know.
