Yes, that is correct.

The surge can last an hour or two or much longer. Everything inland that is not 30 ft. above sea level will be covered. SNIFF! Goodbye Virginia Beach!

after the storm when you have no power for days is when you cook on the outdoor grill or gas cooker. Down here everything in the freezer goes into gumbo and everyone has parties. A nice big ole roast is appreciated, takes about two days to thaw iin the freezer and voila, another party.

Next week is going to be a nightmare traveling anywhere on DelMarVA, with the NASCAR races in Dover next weekend. Doncha think the NASCAR bunch might postpone the race if there's a CAT 5 storm headed their way?!

Lets pray we are all wrong about this one and it just dies out.

Well, I wasn't planning on cooking, period, during the storm. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are nourishment enough, why take a chance with an open flame? That's why they invented STERNO. It's safe to burn it indoors. Only a few bucks for a sterno stove and a few cans of sterno. Besides it's FUN to cook on a sterno stove during hurricanes. I used to love doing this when I was a kid during hurricanes. Plus Spam actually does taste good in such situations. Cold food will get BORING after a day. Plus the jelly will spoil without refrigeration.

"SNIFF! Goodbye Virginia Beach!" The last time I was at Virgina Beach, Sandbridge, ( a small vacation house area just south of The Strip) was damned near washed away into the sea then and that was in 95!
If they get storm surge there I doubt there will be anything left!

I plan to fly into baltimore sat am and have tickets for baseball sunday. I think it may not happen, heck!

I was just concerned, that's all.
I've been through three, and I didn't like any of them. They've all been weaker than this one.
This is a bad one.
To: Howlin
he was as depressed as I've ever seen him. He couldn't even talk about it. I know how he felt. I was supposed to be in Franklin the Monday after the storm...only problem was, downtown Franklin was completely under water. For 2 weeks. There was an old church cemetary in western Suffolk VA that gave up all of it's dead. Alll the caskets just floated up out of the ground. I saw a couple bobing around and didn't know what the story was until I saw the news on TV that evening.

We can't help it.

I think the thunder and lightning must be on the perimeter, or maybe way up in the sky...I heard it with my own ears, shortly before the thing came in on us.
And it did come in on us, we were in the north eye wall, in the north quadrant. A guy on our block measured wind speeds of 220 mph on his home anemometer, before it blew away. The NHC bought one like his and tested it when they heard about that. They said it wasn't that accurate at those kind of velocities, but agreed that it meant the minimum wind on our block was 175 mph, no one knows how much higher it went.
I'd like to ask a meteorologist about that lightning question and how it associates with a hurricane. I'm sure there must be some association, since I heard it. But I am not aware of sky to ground lightning strikes during the storm. I couldn't see out anyway, had my place really boarded up.

i'm watching TWC channel now with steve lyons, projected path has indeed slid ever so slightly south for the onshore event, so just south of the VA/NC border rather then along the VA/chesepeake coast. and this is due to the movement as per the 11PM update containing a more westward then northward component, at least for now.
well, time to turn in, next update is 5AM eastern, lets see what the morning brings

If you take eggs right from the chicken and cover them in lard or butter, they will last for about a month.

SNIFF! Goodbye Virginia Beach! You're right. Except for Mt Trashmore, the highest point in VA Beach is 12 feet above sea level.

"I've been through three, and I didn't like any of them." I was in a very small one back when I was about 12. We were at the Outter Banks in Buxton. The Hurricane just barely made it into the official category so it was a real weak one and that was more than enough for me for a lifetime!

I think they store eggs in warehouses for months. I keep them for months and only once did one go bad. Eggs last a long time!
