* A nuclear Reactor on the Chesapeake Bay went down due to an aluminum panel ripped free by wind hitting a transformer, but it sounds like the cooling system kept working.
* At the time I wrote this the hurricane death toll was only ten, mostly people hit by trees or debris. Again, this could have been so much worse.
* Five NYC hospitals were evacuated due to flood risk. This makes sense to me. Loss of power kills. best to move in advance than risk trying to do it in a hurry in emergency.
* People waiting for the storm, in areas where the storm is, and in areas it has already passed are advised to stay the ******** inside and out of the way of first responders, falling trees, and downed electrical wires.
* They expect it to be a tropical storm by the time it hits Boston, and pretty much just rain by the time it hits Canada.
* Flooding and power outages continue to be an issue, and likely will for days after the storm passes.
* More than a million people in North Carolina and Virginia are without power.
* People wishing to help, might want to donate to the Red Cross, as they are already serving the areas hardest hit.
