Am in De, it's starting to blow a lot with more to come. Looks like we're in the bullseye for the next 24 hrs.
I'm inland about 20 mi so will get some buffering, JPALUCK is down near the ocean and will be getting the worst.
Hopefully he's evacuated to higher ground.

I am at the Junction of NY/NJ/PA and the Rain got here 2 hours ago... Record Low Barometric Pressure of 27.6 per the local Weather Man.... My old home unit was bouncing between 27.4 and 27.6... Gentle Rain, no wind.

Be safe everyone! Don't "stick it out", if you don't have to. Not worth it.

[b.sumner47]

It's 4:10pm monday,raining and wind out of the N/E 25 - 45 higher gusts. Just got the internet back up and will try and stay on as long as I can. Further south of me, say maryland, new jersey up toward the great lakes should battin down the hatches, heavy winds and rain. Update as I can.

Chief, The other day you mentioned a pen, Was that the type for tracing and such ?


Capt Barry

[bluecobra]

I'm in Western NY, about 3 minutes from Lake Erie. We just entered what appears to be the worst part of it. Have no idea if this is the only "hit" for us or if it will spin around again for a second blow.
So far, so good.

It's a drawing tablet that connects to the computer, it will work like a mouse, but uses a pen, my intent is to use it with the carvewright software to see how it interacts to create patterns. I think it make work really well with the tracing aspect of the new software.

I don't know about designer, but in Photoshop they are pressure sensitive, think Magic Marker... The harder you push, the more ink flows. I have seen the pros use them, but I could never get the hang of it. I use a trackball with high resolution.

[lawrence]

I have a vistablet muse- and LOVE it

I only use about 25% of it's capabilities, but learn more every day. I need to program a keyset for the new tools, but unfortunately I really need them to assign keyboard shortcuts for all the designer/2d/3d buttons first, this would help a LOT

If the works good for me I will be upgrading to the Wacom Cintiq. Tablet has a interactive monitor. We will see how things go first with the G Pen

I'm in Cleveland, a lot of downed trees been up since 5:15am with my chainsaw, helping a friend that runs a auto repair
shop get out of his driveway due to a downed pine. Sorry guys it's only about 2" in diameter, and I don't own the
"rotary jig". Stay safe, everyone on the East Coast.
Gary
P.S. Sustained winds 35-40 mph, gusts expected to be 60-70 till this pm. Almost 4"of rain so far...

[chief2007]

You all be safe there in Cleveland - all we can do here in Texas is wait it how to see how everyone fairs back there. Everyone back East is in our thoughts and prayers



PS- Go Browns

[Digitalwoodshop]

Just got power back Sunday Night 4:15 PM... Six long DAYS.... No Power..... Just as I was walking to the House after shutting down the Shop and turning the main breaker off.... I hear a Tree Splitting.... Yep.... Hits the back of the Wood Shop... No major damage... But 6 of his buddies joined the party.... No major damage.... Had a Generator and played the Frig, Freezer, Well Pump game for 6 days.... Back to the Shop and 139 email messages...

AL

[Bigtyme]

Glad to hear there was no major damage and glad your power is back on Al. I know it must have been tough to lose something we need as much as Edison's work....

[chief2007]
