It was disgustingly overhyped here in Pittsburgh. Everyone was like "OMG HURRICANE 9 INCHES OF RAIN 60 MPH WINDS." I told everyone it'd just be raining like it does about two out of every seven days here in Pittsburgh, and I was right.

All my teachers were like "if we come into to school tommorow" and guess what. We did. Big hype-attack, small hurricane.

Annapolis was flooded less than a block away from my relatives, though.

Next door's side of the house ripped off, the other side got a tree in their backyard over their car, and across the street got a tree ripped right from it's roots. No damage to my house! (this is philly)

So what? $200 damage? :P

Just some rain.

Threads merged.

It's odd that some people are complaining about it being "overhyped". Weather is difficult to predict; be happy that it missed you.

What a weekend this has been. First, the hurricane comes through the area (at the time, it's still a near category 3). Then the eye passes within 100 miles to the west of here. There was a lot of damage here. Trees were knocked down everywhere, some rooftops were blown off, a few roads were washed away, and some piers were destroyed or damaged. The entire city (well, 95% anyway) lost all power, and as of right now, most of it is still dark. Our power went out around 9 AM Thursday and only now came back on. We did have a generator to power a fewthings (refrigerators, freezers, a lamp or two, and a TV). The only damage I suffered was a couple of sections of a neighbor's fence fell over, then floated away in the rising flood water (they eventually ended up in a nearby yard).

I think I heard about the tree... BTW, Ralphis, did you have to go to school?
