We’re all getting lots of rain. There have not been the wide spread power outages on the shore the way there has been in Virginia Beach and Norfolk.
The eye is about opposite Cape Charles now and the wind and rin is picking up.
Before the Wallops Flight Center rain guage quit reading properly there had been 11.5 inches of rain and that ws the last reading at 5:30 pm.
Eye is supposed to be in line with me sometime after 11pm. I’m going to stay on as long as I can, but I have been having issues with my connection, so who knows how long that will be.
OK, I take it all back. Irene is going up the Atlantic as forecast, not the Chesapeake.
Best of luck, Gabz.
Thanks. The map looked to me like you were getting about 12 inches, but if you had that much at 5:30 it seems like you are going to get much more. Hope you keep your power. Praying for you guys to be safe.
