Please be considerate of many FReepers with concerns for life and property. As well, avoid large graphics due to heavy internet traffic and for the benefit of those who have lost electricity. fyi--NWS current weather sites are bogged down at this hour.

I'm right on the edges of minor impact in the Ann Arbor area. Wind advisory here - 20mph sustained with some gusts, but not much else. Supposed to rain some. Nothing like a November gale or Spring Thunderstorm.

65MPH gusts though in Port Huron, 100 miles northeast. Lake Huron's waves are already at 17+ feet, and they expect possible 30 ft waves. I hope the boats are all anchored, or there's going to be some shipwrecks.

Just heard this baby will pick up with higher winds again as it approaches Ohio.

Checking in from the Alexandria section of Northern VA. Even Old Town Alexandria didn’t flood, and they ALWAYS flood as the Potomac overflows its banks.

We lost power at 9pm but were restored by midnight. Terrific work by Dominion Power, with special cheers to the crews who go out in this mess lest we be without our creature comforts. Temps here are now down in low 40s, with snow to the N and W of here.

All public transit still closed down, while mgmt evaluates. Imagine everything will be close to normal by Wednesday.

Godspeed during the days ahead. My God grant you strength and perseverance during the post-storm recovery. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I just got sent this link to a time lapse video of Hurricane Sandy as it hit NYC. The camera is located on the 51st floor of the New Your Times building.

It’s about 4 minutes long and covers 3-4 days of the storm. An interesting thing to watch is the direction of the clouds over time. The other thing is, watch to the right at about 9 PM on Monday night.

New York City infrastucture crippled, Mayor Bloomberg (I-Short) endorses Obama today because of his views on global warming.

You just can't make this stuff up.
