Most of the links I wanted to look at on www.weather.com are down. I guess too many people want to look at them, too. And I am directly in the affected area, good ol’ NYC.

Accuweather is calling it "category 1 tropical rainstorm." Storm surge predictions lowered to "5 to 10 inches." Latest map shows storm is moving slowly back northeast, off the coast.

It will still be a rainy windy week but no apocalypse in the forecast.

I’m right here with you on the UES.

Irene didn’t even tinkle on us. I’m hoping for the same but am prepared... (whatever that means, I have tons of food, water and flashlights..../shrug).

Follow Ryan Maue on Twitter. He is an awesome weather dude and conservative. You can trust why he says. Also Joe Bastardi with weather bell. They both think it is gonna be pretty bad but you will get good info.

Prayers up for all in harms way!
