Hurricane watches to the south and north of the warnings.

I'm beginning to think that the waiting and speculating is worse than the actual storm.

Yes. That's what I like about earthquakes.

Unless, of course, you actually happen to be hit by it.

Well, not really. I went through one in the late 70's on my boat out in the Atlantic (to avoid being smashed against the docks)--absolutely awesome and terrifying.

Heh...current tracking has it going right across my back deck...

Ouch. Stay safe.

[netmilsmom]

Can we elect you to be the official FR photographer for the storm???

[Ramius]

Got a handy mast and some lashing material? :-)

[dogbyte12]

Hope you remembered to weather proof your deck this year ;)

Stay safe.

[Corin Stormhands]

Will you buy me a digital camera?

[Corin Stormhands]

Heh...we're in the midst of finishing up a claim for about $10,000 for a leak in an upstairs bathroom...ruined our piano. Otherwise I'd kinda hope for a new deck...

I can hear my premiums going up already.

[Corin Stormhands]

er...it leaked down on the piano...the piano was not in the bathroom...

[netmilsmom]

If you survive ;-)!

This is all very interesting...I've been through Hugo, Fran, Bertha, and one more that I can't recall... Hugo was the first, and I rode that one out in Charleston...after that the rest seemed kinda weak...

[Nexus]

The storm looks like a not-so-tightly coiled snake at this point; whatta strange sight.

I'm beginning to think that the waiting and speculating is worse than the actual storm.

I predict that schools in the DC area will be closed Thursday and Friday.

Milk, bread, and toilet paper will disappear from store shelves by noon Wednesday.

Gee, I thought what a fun house you must have. Tinkling the keys while...oh never mind.

[LynnHam]

I live in Manassas , got the staples, will most likly get lots of rain here

BTW, a bit off the topic. But during Hugo I slept through the first half upstairs, during the eye they woke me and made me stay downstairs. Well, not 10 minutes into the backhalf of it 3 trees fell onto the house, one branch went through the roof and pierced the bed I was/would have been sleeping in right in the middle. And people wonder sometimes why I believe in God...
