I am in the suburbs of Philadelphia, which puts me pretty much right in the path of this storm.

Thankfully, I live near the top of a hill and quite a distance from any rivers, lakes, etc., so flooding has never been a problem.

On the flip side, the area in which I live is fairly heavily wooded, so I find myself saying a little prayer any time the wind gets to be 40+ mph. It seems like a tree comes down nearby every time there is a nasty storm. Irene took down a huge oak within a five minute walk from my house. Luckily, the only damage it did was to break up the road a bit and pulverize some landscaping.

Best of luck to all, and be safe. May you and yours make it through this unscathed.
