Not surprisingly, the coastal areas took the brunt of it. I'm about 30 minutes from the shore and nothing worse here than a few downed small trees and a lot of branches.

NY has seen hurricanes two years in a row now, both with little rain. Is this normal? I guess most of the rain has happened before it reaches the North?

NW CT/MA Border, power lost at 7:30 Wednesday night.
The towns that surround us, Simsbury and Granby, oddly have power
in the centers of town.
Place is a beehive of activity.
Wires down.
Hope you're all safe.

Getting lunch for the family, most of Main Street (in Trumbull) has no working traffic lights, but the pizza place we ordered pizza from (on the other side of town) had power.Both Trumbull and Monroe (CT) school are closed tomorrow, Wednesday. We'll have to see about the rest of the week, but I think it'll depend on how quickly UI and CL&P get power restored to the towns.

I pulled through last night with nothing more than another short blackout that took place while I slept. The most damage that I saw around the area while making my courier runs today was a downed tree here, a street partially flooded by a swollen creek there. The rest of it was leaf and small branches littering the roadways, and lots of wet roadways. (In fact, it contributed to my first traffic accident -- albeit, a minor one -- in several years.) Right now, I think Sandy is more a glorified Nor'Easter than a fading hurricane. It feels raw out here, and I decided against eating out to stay in the warm, cozy house tonight. My sympathy goes out for those in dire straits out there right now, from the displaced residents of the New Jersey coast to the people whose neighborhood in Queens burned down. There's a lot of hurt out there, some of it quite deep.

An unmarked car just stopped in my driveway, as the driver made notes on a clipboard. Hope he was someone from the Town making a survey of neighborhoods still without power and not a canny burglar doing the same. Approaching the 24 hour mark.

27 ours now without power. Wife and I drove down to my grandparents' house to charge our laptop, phones, etc. Nice to be able to see the screen at regular size again for a few minutes as I use their computer.

I've been in contact with my family throughout this, and everyone is OK. My mother and brother were in the hurricane's direct path but they were inland and didn't even experience a power outage, which is strange considering much less has knocked out their power in the past.
Another brother in NYC is without power indefinitely and is now down at my mother's house. The footage and stories out of NYC are shocking to me. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the subways flooding.
The hardest images to see are the New Jersey shore. I just can't get over what I am seeing. These towns I know so well from my childhood and teen years are just completely devastated. I don't think these towns had any real protection beyond sand dunes.
