As of 10pm we're seeing lots of rain and the winds blowing strong occasionally... shooting some video on my digital camera. Will make a video in the end when all is said and done so you can see

The rain is blowing AWAY from my side of the building too, so I can stick my head out and shoot vid

Yes, our little ole TS Ike, with 75mph winds, here in Ohio, knocked our little socks off, too..

Stay safe my Friends..

Stay safe everyone.... Tropical storms can be fierce.

I just realized, if we lose power, I'm not going to be able to get good footage.

I hope the power stays on when the thing hits us!

Stupid electric alarm clock too. I bet if the power goes off and I sleep, I'll miss my morning appointment.

set your cell phone alarm if you have one Laura, sure leaving a mess at 230am your time will help huh

Laura, looks like the NB Power outages were below you in Sussex. I hope that is true and that today goes well for you.

All is well here in Maine. We didn't even lose our power! Got a rain but we had been getting rain since Friday! but hardly any wind at all....

Sadly we were hoping for some heavy wind to knock over the dead trees from the summer. This way if they get knocked over now they won't fall onto the power lines this winter and kill our power when it is 10 - 20 degrees outside with the wind blowing 30 mph! It sure helps the Power Company also, I am sure they would of rathered been out last night instead of the middle of January!

Laura hope all is well up there and you wake up in time for your appointment!!

Thanks for the update, Yabbit, I was wondering if you'd felt it overnight.

Yep, nature's pruning can be very time efficient and cost effective.

Moncton is in 1 piece, and my alarm woke up sleepy stormchaser without any issues this morning. But.... I am off to my appointment in half an hour. Then I'll have fun playing around with my footage and posting a video so you can see what we got here (it was WEAK).

I'll have to read the newspaper today after my appointment and see what damage NB got.

Stars were out last night at 2 a.m. No wind, no rain, it didn't rain all night!
There's patches of blue out there right now.

One thing I did notice this morning on my way home from work...I drove the same road last Thursday morning and I was marveling that the leaves hadn't changed. Today it was as if someone had splashed orange and red and yellow paint all of a sudden! Trees that were green last week are now turning FAST!

It was beautiful when I got up on a high hill and looked back over Penobscot Bay with all the colors...
