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.

I am very close to you and we watch the Savannah news. I suppose it is all relative. Power out and a few trees down is not bad compared to the major hurricanes that have leveled and destroyed huge areas in our country. At least that is how I look at it.

It's still raining quite heavily and there some trees down, by morning the beaches are going to look pretty beat up.

I would feel blessed that this storm wasn't as bad as they thought.

Here is Missouri when we get a tornado warning, we take cover. Most of the time, everything is fine but there is just that one time.

We have seen it first-hand in Joplin where our son lived. 160 people lost their lives

So yes, it is better to be safe than sorry. To be prepared and then not-so-bad a storm.

We spent the weekend in NYC and we were lucky, it was beautiful. My daughter, however, had to cancel her trip to the VA Beach area and it was pretty bad down there. They never know exactly when & where a hurricane will hit and it's always better to "safe than sorry".

Hermine has wandered back towards LI again and we have had 3 power outages since overnight lasting several minutes at a time due to the wind.

My daughter who went to Cape May texted me yesterday to say they had two beautiful days . . . windy, and rip tides didn't matter because she and her girlfriends don't go into the water anyway. She should be home some time today.

My LBI daughter said there wasn't even a puddle in the street on the Island throughout the whole period of time Hermine was offshore.

They never really predicted what this storm was going to do. I have a feeling we are going to have many unpredictable storms like this from now on.

I am in Westchester County and we were getting warnings starting as far back as last Wednesday, well today was a glorious day, light breeze and cool in the share and very warm in the sun.

I also live in Westchester County, living not too far from the beach in Rye. Went every day this holiday weekend to walk on the sand and dip my feet in the water. Light breeze, warm water, very pleasant weather overall. The waves were somewhat choppy, but people were able to go into the water and lifeguards were on the beach as well as out on canoes.

Although the storm wasn't what we expected here, it's always a good idea to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
