I'm in Denton, central part of the Delmarva Peninsula for the rest of you. Two big trees within 5 feet of the house.

Bad as that sounds, the folks in Dorchester and Talbot and Queen Anne Counties (MD) are really screwed if this thing tracks as most of the predictions are calling for. I'm 60 feet above msl but they are 5-8 above msl at best; most right along the water - and there will only be 2 ways off the whole Peninsula, Chesapeake Bay bridge and the bridges over the C & D Canal that bisects northern Delaware. (I can't see anyone trying the Chesapeake Bridge Tunnels!)

I'm quite familiar with Denton, I only moved to Accomac County this spring, after spending 21 years living in Dover.

VDOT will shut the Bridge-Tunnel down if the lower shore is being evacuated - the evacuation route is 13 North.

You're right about the folks Talbot, Dorchester and Queen Anne's if this thing comes up the Chesapeake. Same for folks in places like Pokomoke, Crisfield and Tangiers.

Basically unless folks plan on leaving the peninsula now - the best bet for folks along the water is to try to get further inland - but otherwise stay put. Next week is going to be a nightmare traveling anywhere on DelMarVA, with the NASCAR races in Dover next weekend.

An additional 100,000 or so vehicles more than there normally are when the weather is good.

What a nightmare - even if it doesn't make landfall on or near the peninsula.
