    Perhaps @bisco might let us know about the rain showers?

    Weather is NOT climate and of course has no relationship.

    This morning reports were ~200,000 without power. I was just about to send an e-mail asking how is the power outage?

    bomb cyclone :eek:
    looks like the coast got the brunt of it, up to 90mph gusts. a lot of trees down and power out. still blowing a gale, so numbers not fixed yet, but up 500,000 reported in new england.
    metal roof ripped off of a hanger at logan airport, looks more like a tornado.

    we have been fortunate so far. about 10 miles inland, power has not been disrupted locally. went for a walk, a lot of limbs down but no trees that we saw.

    brand new kohler 12kw generator at the ready:cool:

    I thought it seemed a bit rainier and windier than normal in NJ yesterday :)

    No power outages in my area, but we did have a flash flood warning. My office was smartly built in a low-lying flood plain, so whenever we get serious rain, everyone at the office gets synchronized flash flood warnings via our phones. I've seen our back parking lot turn into a lake on several occasions.
