Links for Northeast stormwatchers all in one post

In between battening down for this storm I've been gathering a few links so I can see what's coming at us or going on around us (for as long as the cell tower transmits). These are buoys and stations in the National Data Buoy Center system. You might have to cut and paste these links back together.

You can see the water is already a foot over prediction at Ocean City, MD

Ocean City, MD (just south of the Delaware line) is starting to show a rise in levels even though the wind speed (at 12:20pm EDT) is only 13 kts gusting to 20. http://tidesonline.nos.noaa.gov/plotcomp.shtml?station_info=8570283+Ocean+City+Inlet%2C+MD

A few in our area of the Chesapeake If you want to watch conditions on the the Bay, there is Tolchester just north of us on the Eastern Shore http://tidesonline.nos.noaa.gov/plotcomp.shtml?station_info=8573364+Tolchester+Beach,+MD
