J had been worrying for days that it was going to be terrible here. The local news fed that feeling of dread.

But we've been fine. A few inches of rain, some wind, but nothing bad. The lights flickered about 3 times last night, but stayed on. We've been lucky this time. There are about 110,000 customers of our electric company without power in our area.

The NYTimes says 6 million are without power. (The derecho left 4.2M customers without power according to Forbes...) It was a very major storm. :-(

Stay safe and best of luck!

Cheers,
Scott.
