I'm about 2 miles west of the Hudson River and about 4 miles north of the George Washington Bridge so for my area we're getting the same forecast as for Manhattan - sustained winds for most of the daytime tomorrow in the range of 50 - 70 mph, and plenty of rain.

I'm not so concerned about the rain as it's high ground here, but this is a heavily treed area so tree damage to buildings and power lines will certainly come as it does in considerably lesser storms.

I've refilled the kerosene lamps (no generator), put all the outdoor furniture away or chained it to trees, stocked up on food, etc. Now we'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. Thanks for the expressions of concern.
