Just what is "normal" on AC?

At any rate, based on reports so far, very little significant damage was done to AC, even to the areas north of the cut. I have heard or read no reports of heavy damage as far south as Xanadu. I'm coming down for ten days in early November and a few busted up piers and breached seawalls will not keep me away. AC will be back to normal (whatever that is) in no time!
