Should have waited it out. I left at 7:30 a.m. and we flew the entire way across the bay bridge tunnel.

We watched the storm thurs night from beach front. from the 3rd floor and watched out the windows all night.

Pretty cool. Sustained 40 mph winds and gust of 50-60 mph and rain were a little spooky at 3:00 a.m. but we were safe. Storm rocked from about 8:00pm until about 4:00 or 5:00 a.m.

Drove back today and the only delay was getting onto 95 from rte. 1 below Wilmington. I got off and took some back roads from there.
