I don’t know what part of Tidewater you are in, but it has been a 3 day drizzle event in Newport News.

"In 2012, the Obama relection team thought it was an easy path to victory - until they encountered the wall known as America's distaste for Socialism. Come see this chilling retelling of the destruction of a major political party as the SS Obama encounters..."

You must be by me - I’m in Lacey, also about 2 miles west of Barnegat Bay. It gets eerily quiet and even stopped raining a few minutes ago, then the wind whipped up unbelievable.

Good luck- I figure tonight we lose the power - plenty of candles and even oil lamps on hand and lot’s of junk food, bread, and pb & j. Trees worry me also although last spring i cut down three bad ones.

For freepers who don’t know, Ocean County is a “liberated”
free red county in the socialist republic of New Jersey!

Lived in Lacey for years. Great town, if not a little crowded. Good luck.

As certain as the sun sets in the west, Geraldo will be standing on a rainless beach on Fox tonight, hair blowing in the wind, yelling above the non roar in the background about the severity of Franken-Fake.

I lived in Jackson Township for 22 years, just north of where you guys are. Please stay safe!

I'm in New Castle County, Delaware now, also expected to take a direct hit from the storm.

Thank you for a clear head.

People who are not likely to be affected - or - those who are just out of the storm’s path and all of whom are watching the News Channels or the Weather Channel 24/7 should just CHANGE CHANNELS OR TURN THE DAMN TV OFF!!!!!

That should stop the ‘HYPE’.

Causeways into AC are very low to the ground (swampland). Not sure if they’re open or not (conflicting stories out there). Same with Wildwood.

About 40 feet of boardwalk floating free in AC.

Thanks for the report.

Am quite familiar w your area. My cousins moved my aunt and uncle out of there two days ago and a second crew went in for prep. THey took a look at the surf with the few remaining able bodied young lads of the community.

They live a few blocks from the beach. Family’s been there for about a century. They and folks lke you, don’t need TWC to tell you something is on its way.

I live in north central CT. At one point most schools were going to do a half day. They they all closed Monday/Tues. As of noon is we have a light drizzle and some wind.

I can’t watch local news anymore. They are literally treating the storm moving say, 10 miles (as predicted) since the last broadcast as breaking news.

I’m in Newport News, VA stuck at home because my son’s school is closed. It isn’t even windy out and we had more rain many days throughout the summer.
Only damage will be tidal flooding in areas that flood whenever a Noreaster or storm comes through.
I wouldn’t want to be in Jersey, but the hype was major overkill here.

The press did exactly what it set out to do.

They got Benghazi off the front page before the election!
