Trying to Reason with Hurrican Season

I like your Buffett song reference Jodie.

Yeah. I hope the beaches at Navy crossing can handle it. They seem to be pretty narrow the past year or so.

I love big storms i think they are fun. i lived in south FLA when andrew came thru it was fun.

Don't full around with it though. You might want to come inland if you think it will get too rough. Remember, strong weather like this HAS induced labor. Fortunately you're not near your due date.

Yesterday afternoon emergency management call...wind 35-40MPH on the coast. Rough surf, rip currents and the possibility of some rain but the three national weather service locations didn't think there would be much at all with the current track.

I will update after today's call.

after passing the obx storm will pull north west. some gusts of 35 mph overnight thur into fri along the coast. maybe a half inch of rain on the coast and minimal coastal flooding.

My niece at Virginia Beach (a transplant from Colorado) will be experiencing her very first hurricane. She asked how to prepare for it. I told her to have the general stuff like bottled water, non-perishable food, flash lights, batteries, candles and matches....but also said if there is even a THOUGHT of evacuation to buy her train ticket and come up north with us.

Should be interesting.

dont foreget the first aid kit

[li] Here is the latest from the 1130 DEMA call this morning.
There is a hurricane watch from the Outer Banks of NC thru Cape Henlopen.
Hurricane Earl is a Cat 3 Hurricane with 125 mph winds but should weaken to a Cat 2 by the time it passes Delaware
We should feel the tropical force winds (35mph) along the coast Friday morning around 0700 and it should dissipate by late in the afternoon.
Winds will drop off rapidly as you go inland.
Not much of a rain event…1” along the coast and lower amounts inland.
There will be some areas of higher winds and rain depending on the squalls
When the storm has passed, the weekend weather looks GREAT![/li]
