Not weatherwise, but flying has to be interesting. All the airports north of the Carolinas are closed and over 10,000 flights were cancelled. Equipment must be backing up all over the Midwest and South.


I think the trains stopped too.

I wouldn't be surprised, though with Amtrak, it's hard to tell sometimes.

It's already past Maryland, and came ashore in New Jersey about three hours ago.

2 hours in, still just a little rain.

But I am worried about my relatives in Jersey. Living AND dead. “Dear grandpa: if you can hear me, I’m really sorry about missing your funeral, but it’ll be extremely gross if the storm floods your out of your grave and we have to bury you a second time. So, try not to do that."

Is laughing appropriate? I'm sorry, I thought that was funny. I know you made it sound funny on purpose, but it seems wrong to be laughing right now....

Yeah. This storm is the biggest in a long time. And the rainfall is enormous. The reporter called it a frankenstorm.
