it was going to go more east, but now it's tracking more west... one of the paths has it going literally right over Harrisburg... though the majority has it going over phillly.

That green line goes right over me.  65MPH sustained winds, and you guys are getting it worse than me, good luck all.

I'll try to take video.  I want to go out in it.  Its gonna be insane.  I want to feel what the winds are like.  I dont care if I have to wake up in the middle of the night.

One thing to note.... they are predicting it to be a strong Cat1 when it makes it up this way. HOWEVER my Earth Science teacher nerd g/f was able to predict with 100% accuracy the snowfall we got all last winter and she expects a Cat4 when it reaches NC, and possibly a Cat2 when it reaches us.

In all seriousness, the power goes out on pretty much any storm around here.  I guarantee the power will be out for at LEAST a full 24-48hrs.   What am I to do w/ out my computer!!!

I have step grand parents in Brigantine NJ (Atlantic City)  They evacuated the entire coastline.  They decided to stay though. Stubborn mofo's GTFO!

This is definitly going to be one to remember.  If anyone wants to experience it I'll let you crash here!

HAHA Really? I was going down to Outer Banks during Labor Day weekend (Sept 2nd-7th). Friend of mine has a beach house down there we're staying in. Well that's if it's still around after Sunday
