Yeah, same... really hope we don't lose power I don't want to have to manually bail out water again.
Jersey and MD are getting bad flooding. AC and Wildwood are underwater basically and that was pre storm hitting.
this bar in ortley is a few hours from being about two miles inland (beach is usually 100 feet up and this is essentially on top of a dune with lower land behind so it is getting bad)
the pier in ocean city, md got blown away this morning
and here is some dude with a death wish in belmar nj
I think the most amazing part is how few hurricane related deaths there are when people go this far out of their way to throw themselves into danger. There should be like 400 times more when people are actively going out of their way to drive a small boat into the hurricane.

Not sure if it finally got canceled but 4 hours ago one of my coworkers said her husband's company wouldn't cancel the deliveries/setting up of office furniture, despite the fact that 99.999% of the customers were going to close anyways for obvious reasons. They were forcing him to drive up and around Baltimore. Some companies are pretty stupid.

I was scheduled to work as of three hours ago- in central Jersey at a tutoring center.
I WOULD DIE TO TEACH MATH.

Well, I just meant I'm going to go fucking nuts without internet. I'm a major addict by this point, and even a day without would almost certainly kill me!
I'm in Amherst,Mass and our school is closed today for dumb reasons. I have to say right now this storm is nothing but a joke. Everyone saying this is a once in a lifetime storm, all I can say is HYPE. Everyone is comparing this to the 91 storm, this is nothing compared to the 91 storm and I experienced the 91 storm when I was six. I expected worse but it's just another typical New England weather day for me.
it hasn't even hit nj yet, much less mass. if it is anything what south jersey looks like now before it truly hits, yeah it is gonna be rough. and you guys might get snow depending where you are!
My trainining in Boston was supposed to happen this week. Flight got cancelled, training got cancelled, I'm super bummed. .
I was planning on going to Salem, MA for Halloween. Another person in my office left early to go to the training on Friday (so she could sightsee for the weekend). Now she's stuck there for like a week. She's with family, so she'll be ok, but that totally sucks...
