people are comparing this to the Halloween storm we had last year and the long widespread power outages many areas had afterwards.

However, this is NOT like that storm in most ways, one being that its not heavy wet snow and 2, the trees last year still had the majority of their leaves and only a few had turned and fallen. Tonight, when the winds come, it'll strip most of the remaining leaves off the trees and then the bare branches wont have as much stress on them, like they would with heavy snow or even like in a summer thunderstorm.

There may be flooding in low lying areas but that's already expected.
