Executive summary: nothing to see here.

The storm has come & gone. While we still have light showers and overcast skies, the wind is non-existent. Indeed, we barely got more than a few gusts all night and while it rained steadily from 4pm to the present, it was never torrential or excessive.

The electricity flickered a few times, mostly around 2am or so. The satellite tv signal was intermittent but never died completely for more than a few seconds.

We're the exception though: there are large swathes of the greater DC area (mostly the east and south-east of DC) which are without electricity and our county gov't is warning of over 100 intersections without working traffic lights. The transit system is starting back up on a regular Sunday scheduled this morning.

In all, I hope NYC fares as well as we did.

I'm glad the effects of the storm were minimal for you. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, my commute from my home in Brenham to work in Houston took me 3 hours each way, in great part because traffic lights were out for a couple of weeks.
