Very concerned about this storm. I'm living in southeastern PA and it has a bead on us. I was activated by the Guard during Katrina and know all too well like many of you on this forum the mayhem something of this nature can do.

Thing is, I'm still in the Guard and have not received any notification on our response efforts. They are not prepared for something of this magnitude. I know they are already sending electical equipment to have on standby but that stuff is no good if the roads are flooded or blocked with debris. Food, water, plan to evacuate elderly, sick....it's like crickets around here and the state is virtually bankrupt. Even if they wanted to do something they could not without Federal assistance. Obama would be smart to pull the trigger right now on Federal troops.
