put everything that I could inside. Parked vehicles so that if the trees blew over ,then they would miss them. A little shopping. stocked up on batteries. Sitting hear having a homebrew. It is really errie, absolutly no wind. The storm is suposed to track about 30-40 miles east of here- so really heavy rain here. It sounds like you are going to get the high winds Jason. Be safe!

We are up in Burlington, VT....lots of closings and emergency management activity. The University of Vermont closed through Tuesday morning. Expecting intense rain, flooding, etc......friends that work in emergency medicine have been told to expect power outages for 2-5 days. I think the power companies are really spooked.
10 bags of ice in two coolers. I filled the military water container (5 Gallons) and have 15 G in the basement. Should be fine.
I also moved all possible yard missiles to the side yard, near my neighbor that drives me nuts. Lots of rebar, lawn darts, and scrap metal on that side.

I'm planning on pushing an LX out of my garage as a sacrificial lamb to save my cruisers.

I work on an island in the middle of Boston Harbor.
The last few days have been crazy-
Pulled out 10 Sailboats and 1 Boston Whaler out of the water
Pulled Moorings
Took down the Wind Screens at the basket ball courts/tennis courts
Took down canvas walls to one of our Pavillions
Raised our gangways off of our dock
secured jet dock
Took down all signage and banners.
When storms hit us it's just pure rediculous. The storm last year that people say was a bust created a good deal of damage.
The after Christmas day Nor Easter caused about 50k worth of damage.
