Just as an aside Xringer, We had no storm here to speak of. It was a little more windy than the usual rain storm, but there was no rain really. I went on a bike ride last night at 8:00 PM and it was nice and balmy. You guys on the other side of the state got it pretty bad as I understand it though. My mother had her entire fence collapse. A call to home owner's insurance is in order for her with $15 K in fence damage alone, aside from damage to her house.

We were out and about a little bit today. All of the damage we saw was from trees falling on roofs etc.
One really massive tree fell across the Middlesex turnpike, took the a long time to clear it.

I noticed the weather was a little different out in that neck of the woods, while my kid was at UMass. She loved the area.

One neat thing about the hurricane, I found out that one of my Andersen sliding windows in the den has an air leak.
When a really strong gust (50 MPH?) hit the house, I could see the plastic insulation film very slowly expanding outwards.
The space between the sliding window and the DIY indoor storm window would slowly pressurize!

I'll have to check that out, before it gets too cold. It needs some sealing..
