This one will give wind to CH and probably more rain to me. We are both in the inland area that will be affected.
These storm are often 1500 miles diameter so the outer bands reach us quite easily. The worst storm and longest damage I have ever seen was hurricane Ike back in 2008 when storm damage put our electricity out of use for more than a week and I am 1000 miles inland. Last week we had the last dregs of a hurricane sweep through and set a record rainfall amount for a single day. That one came 1500 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. We got about 20cm of rain in two days. This one is hitting an area that is not really used to hurricane force storms. Everyone on the east coast knows they could happen but that area is not usually in the target path. I am sure some folks will not be ready for the storm since preparedness is not a major part of life from most people. So we will have the stories of people too stupid to stay alive whining because the government did not do enough to stop global warming and prevent their stupidity. Pictures will feature multi million dollar homes along the coast that are insured at government expense being washed away. Also wet cats and dogs will be featured to raise money for the animal shelters and possibly old folks will be wheeled out of their rest home through ankle deep water, that is always a good shot!

BTW this storm has been tracked very well for more than a week.
There has been plenty of warning and anyone on the coast that has not evacuated already is a moron just waiting to die.

All I will do is make sure there are fresh batteries in the torch and probably stock up on extra snacks today during my normal grocery run just so I will not run out during the heavy rains coming during the weekend.
All other contingencies are covered by normal preps. Window covers and sandbags are not part of my hurricane preps. They would be needed for the first 50-100 miles inland from the coast. About the worst thing that could happen to me would be a "spin off tornado" landing on top of me. That would suck!

Yes it is turning south and has come ashore now.
That means it will have to travel overland and lose power before it turns north and swings over me. I will get residual rain, these storms usually drop 5-10cm, probably tomorrow or Sunday. Right now it is sunny with blue sky outside. Not even a breeze.
