Heh, thanks. So far so....well....boring. Pretty much just light rain for the past few hours.

Never seen Times Square so empty, especially on the Saturday night:

That's due to them shutting down the transit system (which I don't believe has ever happened before) more than anything else. Right now you can hear (and see when the camera shifts its view) a small soccer game going on with a cheering crowd around it.

Well glad to hear that you're all feeling comfy. How is it? I am hearing some people saying it has been overblown, but New York isn't really built to handle all that water, even if it is from a category 1. Let us know how it goes, live feedback in the form of pictures and videos would be ideal.

Just stepped outside. It's windy (actually feels kind of nice) but hardly even drizzling. Think shall go to bed and hopefully wake up to utter mayhem....or at least umbrella worthy weather.

EDIT: Ended up going for a walk. Didn't get far. Winds started to get scary...and then died off again right before I got back home. Might go out again. Tried taking pics but were too shaky, plus my neighborhood is pretty boring. Hardly any trees either to see the wind.

EDIT2: Went out again. NOW it's coming down.
