Whow. Awsome. Thanks

[Corin Stormhands]

highest gust so far is 98 mph?

You know rw, I saw some of your comments last night. If you want to be an idiot go do it somewhere else.

People will die in this storm. Maybe my family and me. I'm sorry it ain't bad enough to feed your apparent need for the gruesome.

But give it a rest.

Does the yellow indicate that the worst is still over the ocean?

[Woodstock]

Good, I'm not the only one saying "CRAP."

[rwfromkansas]

just posting the facts. If you don't like it, that's your problem.

And how is it snotty to qualify it by saying that 98 mph will rip up the mobile home parks?

[rwfromkansas]

But, I will not get in an argument with you.

[Woodstock]

My goodness. Where do you live?

My SIL in Dover just called to check on us.

They are going into the second phase of the state of emergency in Delaware.

As of 2pm tickets will begin to be issued for people on the roads. They didn't do it earlier because of the continuing evactuations.

Any one who knows me, knows I hate over-regulation by government (especially in Delaware) but I find this a good thing.

It became necessary to add that to the State of Emergency law following the ice storms of 1993 when there were so many idiots on the roads that emergency personnel were having difficulty doing their job.

It actually worked well during the February Blizzard - because it kept most people OFF the road where they belonged.

KANSAS .... nothing else to say except LAND LOCKED!

[Slip18]

Get to a safe place in your home. We don't need injuries to FReepers out there. Good luck to you!

[rwfromkansas]

I am just pointing out how seriously hyped the storm was.

You apparently have a problem with that.

You won't die...not even a slight chance.

[steveegg]

Ouch.

[xsmommy]

since you were nice enough to backtrack yesterday, let me just point out to you that it serves no purpose, and just gets people's backs up, to hear people, like you, saying ONLY 98 mph....? can you see that? no one is arguing the facts with you, they are just reacting to the supercilious tone of disdain for 98 mph winds. get it?

[rwfromkansas]

The dark blue is wind on the same level as the yellow. The yellow means there is still some nasty stuff to come unfortunately.

[steveegg]

Wow.

[Woodstock]

Thank you for the vote of confidence. I wonder about the builder of this home whenever we heavy rain - let alone wind. It will be an interesting night. Towels & Buckets standing by....

[1Old Pro]

Does anyone know if the storm track over the next 1-2 days has been updated or changed?

[Slip18]

Go do some homework. There's a discussion going on here that doesn't involve you.

[Howlin]

I was just looking for that.

Winds picking up here; my deck is already covered with "selective" pruning!

[Dog]

But, I will not get in an argument with you.

Promise?
