Still here

Well, the Manor was rocking away most of the night with our wind, but we still stand defiant.  The blow is to continue (with up to 60mph gusts) all through today.  There are already over a thousand power outages throughout the region.  Pepco (which theoretically supplies power to many of the folks North of the Potomac) has already started it's propaganda war of lies and claims to be "ready" for this storm, (ready to reap huge profits from non-delivery of services).  Folks in Maryland will be lucky to see the lights come back on by May Day, given the historical record.
