I assume that you aren't near the NJ coast, since people there really seem to have gotten plastered.

I'm inland, near Princeton, and as it turned out unless you were near the ocean, rising water was less of a factor. There was actually heavier rainfall here during Irene. However the wind combined with the wet earth uprooted trees and took out utility poles (only recently repaired from Irene). Some people are probably going to be without power for a long time.
