How's everyone doing?
I've still got power, but don't know for how long. Have airstone lines connected to powerpac and battery-powered pumps all dropped into the tanks and just waiting. Bucket and siphon standing by to drop water levels. This really sucks.
Who's lost power already?

I too still have power, but the gusts are increasing significantly. I have five tanks here at home with three battery air pumps. Just changed 75% water on all tanks. Not much more I can do.

I'm still good. Just rain so far. The wind is starting to pick up a bit. I've got the generator in the garage ready to go if the power goes out. Just need to pull it out to the porch, fire it up, and run some extension cords.

The wind has picked up significantly, although the rain guage says we've only had about 2.5 inches so far.
Power has flickered twice but not gone out yet....yet...

I'm still good here. We've got the generator, gas, batteries, food, camping supplies, Wii, flashlights and candles ready.
If power goes out, we'll probably camp out downstairs where the the generator is just outside of the doors to power up the heating of the house, tank equipments, TV, cable and Wii.

We've still got power here in NW DC, but I'm not optimistic about tonight, since Doug Hill just said the worst will be from 8 to 2 tonight.
Still, I find this experience awe inspiring. Sorry for all the people who will experience significant loss, but it is an amazing reminder of what nature can do.

No power here. Biding my time before I start up the 1 battery op bubbler I have here. Front door is leaking like a sieve from bottom jamb and fROM the frame at top... Door faces into the wind too. We are soaking a towel every 20 to 30 minutes.
This sucks.
