Plus we've known for two days that rain wasn't going to be the big ticket item for our immediate area.

I don't understand the obsession with rainfall. Had less than 2" with Sandy.

Agreed. Wind is much more interesting IMO.

I'd rather be on the east side of this storm from a weather enthusiast point of view.

1) With tropical systems you should never really rule out flooding problems.  Small shifts or unmodeled mesoscale features can produce tremendous totals.

2) Flooding (river, flash, coastal) produces the most widespread damage (especially in NJ) and is the most frequent storm related threat.  River flooding in particular, caused by widespread excessive rainfall, produces catastrophic and sometimes long lasting effects.
