Waiting for daybreak to assess the damage. Many of the highways and roads are closed due to downed trees/power lines and/or flooding. Thankfully we kept power the whole time...just occasional flickering. It's remarkably quiet out there now.

Same here. It's eerily quiet. The wind shook the house a bit, but our power didn't even flicker. Don't know how that happened, but I'm not questioning the gods. Many didn't get off as lucky as I did.

I feel so bad for the areas that were hit really hard. New Jersey is badly flooded...some homes were lifted off their foundations. There was a fire in Queens that they think started with downed wires...80 homes destroyed. It's one thing to be inconvenienced with no power/water/food spoilage...and I'm not minimizing the impact of those things, particularly to people with low incomes where every penny counts. But it really is true that no matter what your hardship, you can always find someone who is worse off than you. And I got away Scot-free.

Wooo! My ideas for our gazebo worked. It still stands.
Still have yet to go out and assess damages.

No hurricane-related weather here in Kansas, though some of the cloud cover pushed inland pretty far. (We usually get rain here when hurricanes make landfall in TX/La.) All of our weather coverage is Sandy, Sandy, Sandy though.
It's been freezing or near freezing at night, getting into mid-50s (F) during the day.

Thanks KLS 
we staked it down with nylon zip ties and put 33 pound pags of oil absorbent material in plastic bags on top of the aluminum legs, we put the smaller tarp on the ground over our dogs grave and bungeed a larger tarp over the top of the aluminum leg pieces in the hopes the plastic roof pieces that snap in wouldn't blow off.

Glad to hear our friends weathered the storm in one piece. Hope we'll hear from Nightshade soon.

It's really heart breaking to hear all the stories of those hit hard by this storm.

If I go to one more news site and see some poor person who has lost everything plastered on the front page for page views, I may develop a twitch. Seriously, Media, **** you

I just put washing out to dry so regardless of the forecast, it will definitely rain in the next 1-3 hours.
Just got back from central PA where I was helping my mom get through the storm. We weathered it quite well... no power outages, no flooding, and the winds thankfully were not as bad as predicted. My mom is 83 and has Alzheimer's so I couldn't take the chance that she might be alone without power and unable to call for help, but in the end everything worked out well. My thoughts go out to anyone who wasn't as fortunate as us!
