Yeah, it seems I'm in the after path! Should make third landfall on Long Island tonight and then head up through S. NE. Much diminished, but right along Rt. 2 - which is directly where I am! I'm sure it won't be crazy like in FL, but bad enough, it sounds, to bring in the kids. One of the reasons today was *the* day to deal w/ the mess on the back porch. I had a lot of stuff out there - old humidity trays w/ rocks, potting soil, dead herbs, etc. Now it is all clear and nothing to blow around. All the orchids are indoors for the night. Whew - hopefully I'll just collect lots of nice rainwater!
