Good luck to those in the way of Sandy

[Maitre]

So far it hasn't been bad. There's only one reported fatality in MD (and that was due to a car accident, literally about a mile from my house).

From here in Northern Virginia, the storm amounted to a solid "meh." The decision to close schools for Mon-Tues was made on Saturday, and the biggest impact here was 11-3 last night-this morning. Just another high profit day for all the stores that sold out of water and batteries this past week-end; at least in this area. I do not envy anyone closer to the coast, or the mountains though, reportedly tides did for some and snow for others.
