Remember a few years ago one came through and I was without power for 10 days. Sucks when you're on septic and well water. I have a big ass generator so we did OK but I hope you guys don't experience the same. Stay safe

Hurricane just doubled its speed to 24 mi pr hr and climbing in speed and could hit Bmore around 6 pm.

Gusts up to 37 mph and getting stronger.

OC has over 4" of rain. BWI has over 2.5" of rain.

Everybody say safe. Haven't be able to contact my family to see how their doing.

Just heard a weird sound, went out and looked, old tv roof antenna just blew over. Praying the roof is intact.... pole is on roof, antenna portion is lying over the edge, ain't going to risk trying to get up there in this mess, maybe if I was a lot younger....

Man, these big ole trees are whipping around like mad, and this isn't the worst part of the storm. Praying that none hit the house.

What DrUnk said. I live alone and am surrounded by huge trees that I would very much like to remain standing. Otherwise, it's all good.

And thank you HR for asking.

Well, part of one of them just came crashing down on the neighbors house. Hoping mine survives.

We don't have issues with trees near the house, instead we have a brick front and apparently a few of the windows upstairs need recaulking because we are getting some water on the northwest side of the house, which is the front. The wind is just blowing the rain hard against that side and I am assuming the water is getting in around the windows where they meet the brick.

I should have recaulked them some time ago.

How's that old story go? No reason to fix a leaky roof when it's not raining because it's not leaking then. Can't fix it when it's raining because you'll get wet.

Hope all you guys and Eastcoasters stay safe and look out for each other. This would probably be a good time to look over those Raven games (good ones - I wouldn't watch the KC game right about now;)).
