Thursday: As soon as we got to school, whilst the storm was still 300 miles away, it was announced that we would have an early dismissal. During the last period of the day, they told us that we would have off Friday, too. It rained pretty hard - about 1.5 inches - Thursday night, and it was windy as hell.

I woke up Friday morning expecting grey skies, but it was sunny and 80 degrees. It didn't even flood, and I live on a barrier island in South Jersey. There were lots of branches and trees downed, though.
