Thought i'd throw some information in here for anyone curious about Connecticut:
-My power in south western connecticut went out around 5PM Monday and came back on Wednesday 6PM. -We weren't really well prepared for such a long downtime of power but we made through, nothing too serious. -So many trees are still knocked over. -There isn't much flooding over here but apparently we were lucky compared to other places. 75mph peek winds. -Candles and Ice were out of stock absolutely everywhere within the first day. -The streets were pitch dark by 5 or 6. As far as i know it school has been canceled the whole week and halloween pushed back?

I have to say you don't quite appreciate electricity as much until it's gone. Of course I'll appreciate it all the more when it's actually back up at my place and I don't have to take my laptop on the road to find power . Could be a lot worse of course, but the dark and cold still sucks.

I lucked out, only had internet down for about 36hrs. Around me was a lot of power outages (some back on some not at this time) and bunch of fallen trees and branches. I've seen some street sign posts torn off, people can fall and impale themselves on what's left of some of them. Things are slowly returning to normal for my corner of the city and where I work, but it's a wreck for the heavily damaged areas still.

On the main note, hope most of you peeps are hanging in there okay, (those especially in the Caribbean too, not just America) being a Brit and having dealt with rains and floods in the streets more times than I care to count, just grab a pair of wellies and most you ya should be fine (On the side note, the sharks swimming about was real too?)
