So time to tick off the ways this is affecting the Amerikans here:

1) Was planning to see a friend visiting from Philly in another borough. Instead, several subway lines are experiencing flooding, power failures and other delays. I haven't seen this happen from the rain since 2007.

2) The peculiar wind direction of this storm is revealing that the caulking around my air conditioner (which I use maybe one day per year) is deficient.

3) Got so bored I ended up stumbling into e-mails of a girl I dated for nine months and then broke up with. Blah.
