I was watching it here, in NJ on the 6PM news. In recent menory, I have not seen such total devestaion as that. I saw homes with water just below the 2nd floor windows ! I cannot imagine that. I saw cars floating away. I saw water up the the first (lowest) branch on big trees, I saw many crushed cars with 100 year old oaks on top of them. Just horrible. I hope it doesn't come here.
Tomorrow we are supposed to get 91 degrees and very HUMID. Totally miserable. I have the East Coast GTO Association annual 6-state Grand Concours to go to, in Parsippany, N.J. (about 13 miles from home. I will go at 10AM and head home before noon. One pass thru and a look at everything and Bye Bye. I've gone for the past 7 years, and it's a beautiful show, at the Hilton Hotel in Parsippany NJ . Really a beautiful show. Wife & Son are going too, they enjoyed it last year.

Shame as Monday it's going to be 73 degrees & low humidity. Sucxxx !

NO I DON'T OWN A GTO !
