I think it is a combination of a large storm with lots of rain and wanting to
make sure we do not have a "Katrina" situation on the east coast.
Very quite now - feels like the calm before the storm.

I am beginning to think the media is just looking for ratings so they hype
this up 10x The storm is down to a CAT 1 and it may even be a tropical
storm when it lands. We will only have to be concerned with power outages
and flooding. It is lightly raining now.
