Good luck to everyone in the path of this storm.....make sure to listen to all the restrictions put in place by you local/state gov'ts and stay off the roads to help the first responders......can't tell you how much that helps.

well said. It is like when the south gets a few inches of snow they don't have the resources, such as plows and salt and they shut down the whole state.
My work is not closing and we are expected to show up for our shift because it is only a Cat 1, but I have never lived through a hurricane before And I am scared.
