Glad you're fine plainleaf.

None of the major media sources are reporting significant injuries or damage so I don't expect the Disasters Emergency Committee to be swinging into action on this one.  If any of the kind and generous people on this forum feel the need to donate as a result of this event on the USA east coast, I'd suggest sticking to mainstream charities and going through their own websites rather than anything that might get posted here.
