Just checking up on you to see how things are going.The winds didn't drop as much as I'd hoped.

I have overrated my influence on these things!

As Red Green always says, "I'm pulling for you."

Can anyone post pics? I'm especially interested in the VA Beach area (I understand the VA Beach pier is damaged?).... We don't have power here in Chesapeake, Virginia, and my only visual connection with what's happening is here on FR....

[steveegg]

At least they didn't go up, which is a good thing.

[Gabz]

Appreciate the Geography lesson.

I live in Accomac county, which I know is the Eastern Shore - but it is also the lower portion of the DelMarVa Peninsula - which is shortened to just the Peninsula - oarticularly by those of us from Delaware. LOL!!!

My daughter lives in New Bern, NC anyone have a report from that area.

[Slip18]

Give me a zip code in FReepmail. I'll try to pull a photo from WeatherBug. com.

[Howlin]

She went in between Lookout and Hatteras.

One can only imagine...

Winds still 98 mph.

[Howlin]

They all left........LOL.....honestly, I heard New Bern was locked up last night!

New Bern is on the west side of the eye, so it won't be so bad, relatively speaking.

Lots of wind and water.

My sympathies for you having chosen to move to the people's republic of Delaware.

My husband and I sought political asylum from there this spring on the much more conservative Eastern Shore of Virginia.

But all kidding aside - I wish you lots of luck with both houses. DelMarVA is going to need it as the day progresses.

Prayers to you.

I want the NWS to make that 3-d radar that was just on TWC available on the web.

[Gabz]

I wasn't aware of that. I still think it's cool, even more so if it is a matter of policy.

Keep your stick on the ice. We're all in this together. :)

Thank goodness it is not worse than it is, but still rough.

But why in the heck are the Yankees playing the Orioles right now in Baltimore?

Wind blowing toward the outfield at 58 mph. Orioles leading 29-26 in the top of the 3rd.

OK, I lied. Scoreless in top of the third.

[Fishtalk]

And atleast we have a Republican Gov now. We are trying to change.

How about this Delaware having two Dems for Senators (one the very pious Biden) and that awful, awful Soccer Mom Governor?

I have already visited the local Repubbie party in Georgetwon Del and by my discussion with the Sussex county chair, the pubs are hopelessly in bed with the Dems.

This state really needs me.

Whats the red circles near Jacksonville mean on the pics ?

[angcat]

Please they are so delicate as it is (yanks). I hope they call the game or we will hear about all the aches and pains tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

I would have taken Ocracoke... Any word about how it is faring? Love that island...

[COBOL2Java]

Whats the red circles near Jacksonville mean on the pics ?

Probably Bob Graham crying over his poll results...

[steveegg]

No word, but it was completely evacuated a long time ago (ferry service stopped late yesterday, IIRC).
