Are they forecasting more water than wind? Cuz that's what it looks like. Floodier and floodier.

The governor of Vermont (which I know is not in the immediate path of landfall, but it's in the storm path, and, well, I'm keeping an eye on Vermont for fraternal reasons) is saying that, for them, the high winds are the issue rather than flooding. I hope that's true.

I don't know about NJ/NY/DC/MD/all the areas that are going to be today's landfall -- from pictures I've been seeing already, flooding looks pretty dang serious.

Steph, they're expecting 30 ft waves in Lake Michigan. Craxy.

Also, I know a guy who's been trying to get to NYC from Seattle since yesterday morning. He spent midnight to 4am in the ATL airport, and was last heard of on the ground in Pittsburgh, hoping to get a Greyhound bus to NYC. Good luck, man.

What the hell is so urgent in NYC, and will he be able to do it when he gets there anyway? Seems like a few days in Atlanta (or just staying in Seattle) might have been a better plan.

Right now the NYT is saying Penguin Random House. I was rooting for House Penguin Random.

In other news, the Random House/Penguin merger is going ahead, and like everyone else in publishing I'm really hoping the new name of the company is Random Penguin.

Penguin House wouldn't suck either.

Well, his wife and kids are in NYC. He was in Seattle for a conference.

Tom,

damn that looks bigger than Katrina. Katrina was a bitch. I think Sandy might be Alexis Carrington.

WUT.

I'm really hoping the new name of the company is Random Penguin.

And every book could have a different penguin on the spine.

My friend is in Brooklyn and her Air BnB place is two blocks from Zone A. I am a little worried about her.

It's pretty windy here and we're far from the hot zone. (but still under that ginormous cloud.)

Stay safe all of you on the East Coast.

I'm a worrier and this shit is worrying me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would love to buy books from Random Penguin SO MUCH.
