I just heard the new forecast. Just like yesterday, now they said there's still a chance the storm will track back west towards the shore.Those on the east coast should continue to monitor status of the storm.

The end-of-summer BBQ was at our pool today.  All week we were wondering why they didn't cancel/move it.  We just got home. It was a beautiful day!

We met Hermine on Friday-SATURDAY; she is not a lady. Just very wet.

@Jordan2, It was certainly a beautiful day in NYC today, and we haven't seen a gorgeous day like today since June.  However, I don't believe the media wants to scare people to death.  Hurricanes and tropical storms are highly unpredictable and can cause death and destruction as we all saw in this area with Sandy.  

I agree that the media is doing its job, but it is their duty and obligation to call it as they see it.  I remember watching a PBS documentary about hurricanes about a couple of years before Sandy hit.  A meteorologist was describing the nightmare scenario about a Sandy-type hurricane hitting the NYC area and the destruction it would cause.  I was totally frightened by that prediction, but he was 100% right.  It happened the way he called it so far in advance.  At the very least, I would hope that most people learned their lessons with Sandy, and the warnings in our area this weekend were a good rehearsal for the next big one, and the next big one will come.

I am on LBI & the weather today was very sunny & beautiful .. the only problem was the wind ... according to NJ News 12  the winds in Harvey Cedars were 39 MPH .... the beach looks fine but there will be high tides in the morning that might cause some beach erosion... time will tell!!!

Aside from Florida, it was a big deal over nothing much, luckily.

They are saying it's headed to N. Jersey NYC and perhaps Boston. (I think?)

S. Jersey is slight sun and a chill in the air. Water in bay is close to the top of the bulkhead!

Channel 6 action news truck was in Somers Point ( they were probably hiding in back!) Adam or
Melissa's are usually on the Boardwalk talking to beachgoers.

Your daughter should be having a great day in Cape May!

Not true here in Savannah, Ga.

After 2 days of no power, believe me, it was a big deal here.

About 15,000 homes here still have no power.

There have been floods, deaths, major property

damage, power outages, erosion etc in many states. Very "big deal"

imho.
