Hi Mary Evelyn,
I called my Dad last night, he's about 10 miles northwest of the city of Philadelphia but the town where he lives is on a river that has had flooding problems before, he's nearly a mile uphill from the river. He has plenty of bottled water, and there are other relatives in the area to check on him, but wind damage could be bad with downed trees, power lines, or broken windows.
I feel bad about the New Jersey coast and the people there, New Jersey is a beautiful place and it's the most densely populated state. It's only about a 1 hour drive from Philly to the NJ coast, so that's how close it is, and there's also the storm surge that will come up Delaware Bay from the south. I heard there were 20 foot waves nearing the coast of Delaware last night.
The worst is supposed to be from noon today until 6 a.m. tomorrow morning.
I think York (where Myrna lives) is also in the dark green area.
