    News now says it is the size of Europe as it is moving up the coastline.
    I live in Pennsylvania, a 2 hour drive from the New Jersey Shoreline.
    Presently, just lots of rain, no wind. Will probably flood in the low land levels around me. So far electric is still on.
    Hope the valley I live in will block some of the wind as it move up.
    Well, gardens are getting lots of water.

    Just heard the tragic news of an 11 year old boy being killed in Virginia by a tree falling onto a two storey apartment he was in. Take care out there, Redstar.:rolleyespink:
