currently getting raped by this storm, glad power came back for a bit but it won't be here for long. 60-70mph gusts about to hit. here are a few photos I took from my grandparent's house. Waves are breaking about 300yds out of the mouth of the river and rolling back in. It should be low tide right about now, but up river at my house, it looks like mid tide. Fuck.

Still power in CT. Winds picking up, looking to be much greater later this evening. Everyone be safe, tons of branches flying and hitting things.

Power might go out any time tonight.

It's very very windy and pouring in Portsmouth NH right now. The wind is so strong its shaking my whole house violently. 65,000 NH residents without power right now. Luckily the power has only flickered periodically, but its only a matter of time before we lose it. Time to hit the wine...

^^this

literal walls of water were rolling in, its low tide in an hour at my house, and the mudflats you see around 3 hrs before and after low are still not visible. None of the water can get out of the river, which just means when it turns it's going to rush in.

Look at the wind map of the nation, they only peek at 30mph, but they've been much higher but at least you can see the directions of the wind
