It was fun anyways and I met a lot of nice people in pubs I went in to dry off.

It always seems to rush over here, and we get the backlash a week later, not so much damage, as you would imagine, but still not nice, so I'm not looking forward to the backlash from this one.
As Laceday says, we get the end of your hurricanes, but here in my part of Scotland (which is quite north) we don't have a winter go by without very high winds that cause some structural damage and roads blocked with downed trees etc, but NOTHING like a real hurricane thank heavens...We stayed on the Outer Banks and in Virginia years ago, the weather was beautiful, now everywhere we visited is evacuated. Mother nature just likes to show us who's boss now and again.
Take care all and stay safe.
