I felt the earthquake - I was in a meeting and the room was shaking. A bit disconcerting, but we got lucky with that.
We're getting ready up here as well; having a couple more days than our friends in the South is helpful. A very wet summer means that we are watching for trees falling over more easily, since the ground is saturated. That and the June tornado cleanup is still continuing, along with that from a strong July storm. A tree fell on I-91 Thursday near the CT-MA line; it was not a windy day.
The latest forecast I had seen was for 70mph winds and up to 15 inches of rain here in MA.
Good luck to everybody in the path of this storm - stay safe!
