I'm going to be living on peanut butter & banana sammiches and applesauce basically. (not together ew)

I'm basically right on the line between Tropical Storm Warning & Hurricane Warning, meaning that it could either hit me really hard, or just moderately.

Back after 24 hours of power outage.

Was so boring...As I expected our house didn't even get muddy dirt, let alone flood, but I can't say anyone else was as lucky. Down the road a bridge with a tiny creek had water flowing over 200 feet from the bridge...with a fast current. Lakes nearby were flooding into minimarts down the road, it was insane.

Though it's half the county's fault...they barely drained the lakes and they had days of advance warning to do so.

Turns out they turned off the power around here not because of damages (Not a single downed line in town), but because of excessive flooding. They were afraid that it would short out the entire grid because people's power meters were literally underwater. They had to wait for the water to lower to be able to turn the power back on.

All I can say is, it could have been so much worse for New York City. Someday, they will not be so lucky. I'm glad they were this time, though; best to delay that calamity as long as possible.
