There is a huge barrier of a cold front/ low pressure responsible for this.
My guess is that if it does make landfall it will be a storm with high winds
and rain, a tropical depression maybe

You are lucky!! We can't do that in PA....one of only
two states that have state-controlled state-stores
(Utah is the other)...can't purchase alcoholic bev.
in grocery stores. Its all state-controlled, as in USSR
Communism. :-(

The concept of selling booze in grocery stores SUCKS...booze should be in
booze stores, privately run (like in Alberta) or otherwise. They tried
putting booze in grocery stores here but got shot down.

The cashiers would go crazy asking for ID from every booze hungry kid that
looked underage otherwise many probably get away with alcohol who are
underage. Booze related violence and accidents are much higher in the US
where "control" is generally lax.

I've always been paranoid of spring-time thunderstorms knocking the power
out----which of course would stop my sump pump from working. But for some
reason I never bought a generator.

After the blackout I again thought I should have a generator. Of course I
didn't buy one.

Even though we're only expected to get heavy rain and maybe high winds, this
time I did it. We've got our house up for sale and no way was I going to take
the chance of having the power go out and the basement flood.

Bring on the rain and wind---I've got 5000 watts of available power now at my
disposal!

It was actually quite hard to find a generator today.
