Amtrak has shut down service. Septa (Public Transportation) in Philadelphia has shut down all buses, trolleys, and trains.
Philadelphia Public Schools are closed. My son’s school district is closed as well. At least three of the area colleges have cancelled classes for Monday and Tuesday.
We are to get 60-80 MPH winds.
Philadelphia is supposed to get 4.25 inches of rain starting now for the next 3 days but we can’t go by that because we don’t know how much yet.

What are some of the NY News websites that we can watch the storm from?

Stay safe, you guys. If things get too rough, you can always escape in the big egg-shaped spaceship! Also, this is the coolest alternative to capcha that I’ve ever seen.

Air travel is going to be snarled well into the weekend. The NYC region is shut down as is most of the Northeast corridor.
I hope your new digs are staying leak free. This as been a good time to hunker down and chill out.

Good idea all except the Lincoln Tunnel and George Washington Bridge are out Tuesday morning. NJ Turnpike closed from Cape May to somewhere up the Hudson.
Battery park got 2 foot more flooding than worst previous record. And the MTA is ticked because they have salt water in their tunnels below the flood level.
Keep dry!

Vicious ocean storms are nothing new. Look into the Grote Mandrenke which reshaped the coastline of Western Europe and killed tens of thousands. If that exact storm replayed now, it would be taken as evidence of “climate change,” but what it would really evidence is a chaotic, nonlinear system that kicks out an unbelievably strong storm from time to time. The U.S. is currently experiencing the longest stretch of days between major landfalling hurricanes. The last one to strike U.S. shores was Wilma, in 2005.
