Crazy. How ‘bout the one reporting at water’s edge (forget which state) when a huge wave dumps over him; then, it was discovered there was a sewage breech. And he’s standing there covered in a yucky foam .....still reporting .. euwwww.
bttt
SE Pa. Power is out and it seems to be more than temporary at this time. I’m off to bed. Hopefully it will be back on when the light of day returns.
Using my iPhone for light to get me up the stairs and to bed.
ICK!!!
LOL ...
Checking in. Still have lights here
Ok last update of the night (morning?) and I’m going to bed. Winds are still up a bit; 35mph gusting to 46mph latest update from NAS Patuxent River. Quiet here, we still have power (for now) but I think the worst is over for us. Prayers for everyone who has been affected/is going to be affected by Irene.
You too hon! I’ve missed you all.
Just saw this, too.

Long night for them.
I’m gonna go read up on that St. Mary’s dam. I never knew it was there when I lived there.
I hope the worst is over for you, and you’ll wake with relief at what greets you. God bless you and yours thru the night.
I’m starting to fade as well, but had a craving for watermelon and now I’m a total sticky mess - but it’s so good!
It’s done with us as far as I can tell. there is a nice breeze and the crickets are chirping. I’ll worry about what all the rain did come daylight. Not going to worry about what I can’t see.
OK so they are saying 15 feet.Thanks.
I'll say. Lower Manhattan is just a few feet above the water line. If storm surge causes Lower Manhattan to flood, all that water goes right into the subway tunnels, which will make a HELL of a mess.
~wave~
no pun intended :)
Is that good ?
I knew what you were talking about! and I’ve had a lot more than a half beer :)
((((((Hugs))))))))
