Rain is medium / heavy but the wind speed seems to have slowed down for the moment. We've had no loss of power - yet! Spent the afternoon trying to set up a Linksys router and am getting frustrated. The YouTube video says you can follow along and do it in about 20 minutes. I can't seem to get the same connections that the speaker does, and that's my problem. He says, enter, this and that, but I can't change any of the parameters. Ah, well, practice does get you into all sorts of new corners of your computer, so even if I have no success, I've learned something. Try, try again! With no visible sun sinking over the yard arm today, I declare it almost Martini time. A gin-soaked olive might help me with my computer understanding. Ciao, Connie

HI Connie,

988 mb! If you start dragging anchor, come on over to my house. The M-15 is riding it out superbly so far in my driveway. (Knock on wood!)

Report from Glastonbury, CT

At 1430 EDT the barometer has dropped to 988 mb.

Wind from the northeast at about 35 to 40 MPH; medium rain.

At the Connecticut coast, there are areas of flooding; Sandy landfall is happening earlier than first anticipated, so the maximum storm surge in Long Island Sound will not occur at high tideas first feared.

At Old Saybrook at the mouth of the Connecticut River, the Emergency Shelters are full of people.

By tomorrow morning, the worst should have passed and we'll be left with more rain and flooding.

So far no power outages in our area.

The storm anchor is holding well.
