Winds are picking up here now. We've had (locally) a gust to 47 mph already. The storm is still at least 6-8 hours away from when it will get to its worst.

I don't know how much longer I'll have power (the local authority is already reporting 10,000 outages) but I expect to be in the dark soon for at least a few days (warnings are predicting a 7-10 day period).

Be safe, everyone.
