Hiya Gabz....
...husband and I are here in Sussex county, about 12 miles from the ocean. We’re gonna batten down...estimate our biggest concern would be a tree falling on the house.
Only place we could go is daughter, who lives near Baltimore...not much better than where we’re at. HER mother-in-law lives in Ocean City, in a mobile home.
All other relatives live along the east coast also right in the path of storm. tomorrow we’re doing inventory outside, anything might be a projectile will be made safe. We’re getting some cash, filling up cars with gas, got batteries, kerosene lantern.
Doing best we can and thinking it will be scary but we’ll get through it.
I’m in Accomack County 12 miles from Chincotague and 9 miles from the Chesapeake. We had plans of spending the weekend in Dover, just got off the phone with my SIL explaining we would see her later in September.
Husband had a service call in Bethany this afternoon and said traffic getting out of the beach area was a bear.
The road that runs along the west side of our property is the line for Chessy storm surge concers, however my northern property line is a creek that runs out to the bay, so I will probably be dealing with some of that.
Oceanside high tide is going to be a beast. high tide at Chincoteague is around 7:30 Sunday morning which is close to when they’re calling for this witch to be about here.
Oh well, we’ll feast well on all the shrimp I bought this afternoon for the trip to Dover and I’ll spend tomorrow and Saturday canning the bushel and a half of tomatoes that were delivered to me this morning.
She is a nurse and her husband also works in the medical profession.
They are going to work tomorrow, and will make the final decision tomorrow. I suspect their decision will be made when they order all people off the island.
