    • Storm plans are all the talk here as well
      • What's the update mean today in your area Mary Lou?
        • right now it's coming almost right over our house
          • I see wind forecasts in the 70's for the coast there.
            • I'll be hoping those are worst case possibilities and the reality will be less
              • Where are you Mary Lou?
                • Rock Hall, MD
                  • You'll have a bit more water
                    • Potentials
              • Here are a few more NDBC station reports from north of us
                • Here's the tides station that shows the Upper Ches.
                  • correction, I hope

  • Could be something. Latest track prediction has it splitting NJ.
    • How'd you like to be at Conception right now, ugly. Cheers, John
    • Needless to say, my plans have been altered...
      • The projected track has moved more to the left.
        • Because they expect the windfield to expand, they are talking about high winds for a long duration
          • I see what you both mean.
        • SLOW -- Is Very Scary
      • Good Luck Jon!
        • is Jon home?
          • I heard he was in Annapolis
          • He's iNJ and has done everything anyone can.
            • I get the feeling anyone on the coast from Deleware to Maine may have something to do right now,...
              • 8-10 feet of surge doesn't work well here either
            • I'm about as ready as I'll ever be, time to bring this bitch on... (grin)
              • Great link to a great story . . . Thanks, Jon, and hold tight!
              • good luck to Jon and everyone else on the coast
              • hope you ride it out safely
              • Good luck Jon.
              • Best of luck and hold tight Jon.
              • You look...
              • Good luck Jon
    • track is a bit more to the South
      • Exact landfall isn't the issue with this storm . . .
  • If I was heading down the ditch I'd be shopping for a safe spot. Looks like another Irene?
    • Farther offshore than Irene to start with . . .
  • I am going to put the winter covers on my boats tomorrow...
    • We just put the cover on today.
      • Pretty much the same here....
        • A good forecast for my harbor too, so far...
  • Hope not. It's heading my way.
