I'm in New York and as of this morning they're saying that it'll probably weaken to a category 2 by the time it reaches us, but between the wind and the amount of rainfall expected, it'll still be pretty bad and at least the strength of a tropical storm. Fitting considering the tropical heat conditions we had during the first half of the summer, lol.
Today is our 'stock up and prep the house' day and then tomorrow is my day to pray we don't lose power 'cause, sure my laptop will work and i can use the 'nothin else to do' time to get some writing done, but no internet connection may be the death of me
