Hope everyone is staying safe and dry in the storm. We’ll be getting high winds from it here in the foothills of the Berkshires. Already have a stiff breeze and temps are 20 degrees cooler than they have been in weeks. Past couple of days have been crazy with severe thunder storms and some local micro-tornadoes. Keep your matches and tobacco dry and stay safe!

Just north of Philly and it's starting to pick up. Heavy rain and the wind is blowing pretty good now. Just heard they confirmed a tornado in south Jersey.
Here in central North Carolina, we were personally quite lucky/blessed, though even here there were widespread power outages. We didn't get heavy winds and only steady but moderate rain. The coast didn't do so well, and there is at least one fatality from an associated tornado that hit a mobile home park. I fear further problems as people get out and feel more complacent and are not careful about flooding situations. I've been through Fran in '96 and Floyd in '98, both rough, but Fran made a run inland and left this city leveled like it had been shelled.
Finished cutting up a tree about an hour ago that fell in my yard from the storm this morning. I'm beat.
Glad you’re ok. Power’s out here but we have a generator so can’t complain. So far no apparent damage to the property but widespread outages here. Is it a bad sign when the power company’s website is down?
We were extremely lucky. Although 2500 houses are without power in our city and 60000 in NJ, we have power. A bunch of roads were closed and properties damaged due to uprooted trees, thankfully none in my property. I did not inspect my roof and stuff, but possibly OK
Glad that everyone is safe. Luckily no damage from the tree. Just a lot of clean up. Hopefully everything will get up and running tonight & tomorrow.
Started getting the rain here in Greene, ME early in the evening. Had a neighborhood blackout from 11 pm to about 9:40 am this morning. We have bright sunshine at the moment. I'm guessing Isaias' remnants turned farther toward the East than earlier thought.
We were without power for about 20 hours. Got it back last night at 8:30. Just in time to crank the AC before bed. But we are in Wilmington so that was expected.
Just got power back. We were out for about 30 hrs. Luckily we have a generator and it worked!
