I'm going to be interested in how long it takes for the cell phone system to become overwhelmed and fail.

Even if call volume doesn't over-run the system, the cell phone system will last between 4 and 8 hours after the power goes. That's assuming the valve-regulated cells they use in their batteries are in good condition.I hope you guys in the NE megopolis are prepped for a week or so without electricity, because that's what some of y'all may be facing.

You never forget your first hurricane. This one was mine...went right over Columbia.In other news, it's my wife's first hurricane.
Where did you see that? I saw Cat 1 strength with the eye passing by the I-90/I-84 interchange.Thankfully it keeps losing strength as it moves inland.
Now they're talking 1-2 in. rain in the Boston area with sustained winds of ~50mph for about 12 hours.
If the eye passes near I-90/I-84 that's pretty far west of the city which is one the coast. Models show the bulk of the rain is on the westward side of the storm and near the eye, a fair distance from the Boston area.Where did you see that?

Talked to my mom a little while ago. NYC is going into lockdown mode. And the town where I was born in Long Island is borderline evac territory.
I figured you'd be right in the eyeYou know where I live, which is 30 miles or so E of the eye. Hopefully its just a TS once it gets here. A couple of people I work with live 20 miles or so W of me and closer to the eye. One of them I hope it all works out for, the other one I could care less.
