We are 12 hours into the wind and rain. We’ve had a couple of tornado warnings throughout the night and morning but nothing close. Peak wind gusts at 51 mph here in town. Our retention pond is already at the same level as it was during the Nor’Easter of 2009 so this is some serious rainfall. Overall, not horrible. The Postal Service even made deliveries this morning. The good news in all of this? The fire in the Great Dismal Swamp that has been plaguing our air quality over the past several weeks should finally be out. At this point we still have power and internet but phone service is abysmal. So far so good.
