"I have been but little in," said Ninian hastily...

The winds here are dying down (relatively speaking). And every time I look at the radar and satellite tracks, it looks like the most concentrated areas of the storm have passed us.

I hope I'm right about that.

ETA: Oh, of course. I was forgetting that winds in a low pressure cell go counterclockwise. That big orangey bit out in western PA is going to be swinging back this way before it heads north. Still, the hurricane seems to have hit Philly, when everyone thought it was going to hit NYC. Interesting.
