The good news with this storm is that the surge is not extreme and there really isn't much rain. A foot, or so, of rain is not unusual for this region at any given time. The bad news is the wind. Again, that's not to make light of this storm. People will be damaged in ways they could never have imagined. Every one of them is different. A few miles east or west is the difference between total devastation and a PITA.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
