I'm in Maryland, it was horrible. We went to the basement because the winds were so strong. Trees were the worst, killing people in their homes by falling on them, killing people in their cars by falling on them. Even after the storms, trees were weakened, and still fell after the storm. Just like the suggestion, get food, gas, and a generator. The gas stations were shut down as there was no power. Grocery stores closed as they had no power. All the traffic lights out which caused traffic jams in the city. I've been in hurricanes, this was faster duration, and equally as strong. Just prepare.
