So basically, the hype of the storm actually caused my college to close down for Monday and Tuesday. This is the same college that has a refusal to close during terrible snowstorms two years ago.
Basically in Philly, Monday was pretty bad, but it didn't hit until the late afternoon. I tried to walk two blocks down the street for food during the start of the storm and nearly got blasted away from the wind. The winds were strong enough to uproot a small tree or two on the sidewalks, and it succeeded in knocking down a traffic light. It fell perfectly into the neighboring sidewalk so no harm here.
Tuesday, there was absolutely nothing. No winds, no rain aside from a very mild drizzle, could've had classes in this.
Then my parents are out of power until Saturday along with my grandparents. And my aunt survived her stay in Ocean City during the hurricane. So there's that.
