last report i got is she is losing steam but we have been getting hammered since the early a.m. - evacs were mandatory at 6 a.m. after that you were on your own - a few of us are riding it out on our island, with tide receding now i feel better - earlier you could have surfed in my yard.
i have uploaded some videos to youtube and will keep uploading until we loose power - its flickering now - wind has come around from the east southeast to south southwest. was outside caulikng a slider during a break in the rain and the wind actually pushed me along the deck while i was standing on a milkcrate! video is on youtube under TheMakoSharker

the biggest problem with this event is the shear size of the system it is going to hang around for hours, that is what you need to watch out for up there the longer it hangs the more things go wrong. we have a big willow tree behind the shop in alton and i hope it holds firm!
good luck all
