Here it comes.
... Later the next day.
It was very rainy, windy and some powerful freight train gusts. It appears that once it came on shore for a while, the powerful center shrank, drawing up north and skirting past my region by about ten to twenty miles. Philadelphia seems to have been the anchor after that. With most of our trees already nearly bare, there was not much for the wind to take advantage of and blow down.
We went for a family walk today to assess the damage. Lots of wetness and flooded river and stream banks. Soggy yard.
The most important thing to note is that I made a sandwich and it was tasty.
