Just hope that the doggone thing won't hit us here on Cape Cod, cause when they do,,,,,,,, it is rather nasty.
I do watch all these weather URLs and they do such a great job of keeping us in the know.
Got the generator fueled up, boats out of water, secured all loose garden stuff.  Hey, with all our preparation, Isabel will miss us!
Send it out to sea and away,,,,, sad.gif

We're supposed to get high winds out of the mess- 5-15 inches of rain to doh.gif

the shed that caught fire probably will go down in the winds- one less salvage job to do wink.gif

Peace

Yeah, SB, we might get a taste of it.  Harv is also in the path.

 Hurricane Floyd did a job in central NJ four years ago with major flooding and two deaths. Certainly not the worst we've had but one town looked like a war zone afterward. That town (Bound Brook) was on the NY news tonight as they were talking about preparations for later this week. The reporter was already standing in a few feet of water from just a light storm that passed through this eve. The ground here is saturated from a lot of rain this spring and summer so whatever we get will run off and flood like crazy.

Worst hurricane to do damage to my property was Gloria in '85.  Dropped a tree on my house. Luckily it hit the corner where the structure was strongest so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I can still see that tree rocking back and forth heaving up out of the ground and finally going over. ohmy.gif

I do love the 70' pines and 60' red cedars at opposite ends of my house but....   unsure.gif  sweatingbullets.gif

Get this kris, Jane is flying to Baltimore Friday morning. I guess she was disappointed that Isabel went north, so now she's chasing it!  wacko.gif ....and she called me nuts for chasing tornadoes.......    eek2.gif

I like storms, I get to dress up in Gortex and walk down the road with my chain saw without the neighbors trying to Baker Act me. wink.gif On rare occasions I get the truck & chain out and put it in 4WD and pull someone out of a ditch, oh fun!! clap.gif

I like to go down to the beach and stand in the wind, leaning into it just enough to let it pick me up, it's like flying, with just a few pounds on the ground every once in a while.  unsure.gif

Depending on timing Jane may have her flight delayed. If she's lucky it will have passed through before she is scheduled to land.

I like storms too, as long as they don't hit my house.    smile.gif

Well Harv lOOks like you were pretty much spared? sweatingbullets.gif Blizzard type conditions without the cold? ph34r.gif
I would guest the surge will make some impact around the Bay, but the Hurricane effects
have really diminished over Carolina and Virginia.
I wonder how Ruth's doing? sad.gif

We're getting some rain and nasty wind gusts now and then but it's more like a Nor'easter than anything else.

A little while ago one of those train sounding wind gusts came through followed by a loud thump and my neighbor's car alarm going off.  huh.gif

Guess they may have to call the insurance co in the AM.

Hope that's all.

Hey Harv, how're you doing?
