1. NEVER ever drive through water.

It takes only about 6" for an average car to get swept away. This is not only dangerous for the drivers but also for the rescuers.

2. It is not just Boston.

Our whole coast line is under water. There are 30-35 foot waves just off the coastline.

3. Whst's bothering me is that Riley appears to be moving southeast and

then heading back to the US mainland. I hope I'm wrong.

This is a huge storm.

9. I am inland.

Flooding is predicted here as well...not as severe. My beloved Cape Cod is drowning. I grew up there.

Thanks, orangecrush.

4. Global warming...

....again.

11. No, silly. This is caused by sinners not atoning hard enough.

5. Turn around don't drown! You should never drive through the water like that. A guy in

Memphis died yesterday when his car got washed off the road and in to a creek. But we get a lot of flooding here and most people know better.

6. ohhh

crazy... I was supposed to be working in Nantucket this month

[smirkymonkey]

10. It's terrible here, mostly because of the high tides. I decided to work from home today

which was a wise idea since I work down in one of the flooded parts of the city. I live near the river in the West End and fortunately there has been no flooding here yet. It worries me how easily this city gets flooded. I am terrified of the next hurricane.

13. S. Central PA here and it's still shaking the whole house.

Im sure we're still getting gusts upward of 50 mph

I had 2 largish pine trees down overnight in my yard.

Locally, there were retail signs, street signs and metal roofing blown around everywhere.

School bus blew over

Wind snapped off groups of telephone poles.

We had a lot of snow melt, rain and then wind - trees are loose and uprooting or just snapping off.

This is the kind of mess that might take all spring to clean up.
