How big is this eye, My mom says there's no wind now and hasn't been for the past half an hour or so, is she in the eye now? Someone said it turned north.

Yeah I think they're in the eye. My mom just texted me that it is very quiet right now and she thinks they're in the eye.

From my FB and my mom confirmed no wind related problems.... This was posted 2 hours ago though..........

"It looks like the we're in the eye of the storm now. Amazingly, we still have power and haven't had any wind-related problems so far. What's even more amazing is that our DirecTV hasn't gone out, so the kids have had plenty to keep them occupied. Let's hope that the second half of the storm later tonight is as good to us as this half was.

Yeah AWAR - This chart was updated 1 hr 13 minutes ago, which I think means it went about 20-30 miles due west, so our rents are definitely right in the center of this eye. Lol my mom said "I think the worst is over" a few times.

This thing doesn't really have an eye anymore. It broke up as it came ashore.

Are you able to decipher it or anyone else to show how wide this eye is? at 20 mph it would have to be over 20 miles wide to explain whats going on.

If true vindication for the south jersey beat writer!

I didn't realize the storm was that far inland already.

There are countless ways electricity can kill you that the average person will never know.

Ground zero

This makes me sad.

There really isn't an eye left because it is a post-tropical system. The eye dissolved in on itself hours ago. You can still see where the rotation is around the low pressure system, but that is almost into Pennsylvania by now. The reason it's not raining hard on the shore is because the west/southwest part of the system was holding the majority of the moisture.

more wondering why there's no real reported wind all day on the projected path of the storm, as the board meteorologists assured me there would be.

where is there no wind? the jersey shore was practically destroyed... all the way from cape may to new york city.

Winds back at my parent's house ~15 miles from Philly.
