If this thing hits anywhere north of Wilmington, NC on Thursday, I would venture to say that NASCAR will be cancelled at Dover because the govs of NC, VA, MD & DE will declare all the coastal areas disasters and shut the states down.
It's actually very easy for the Penninsula to be shut down.
My husband and I have been laughing most of the evening. He's scheduled for a weekend long computer system installation at a brokerage firm in Rehoboth Beach, starting on Wednesday!!!! I don't see it happening. with Virginia tags on his car and a VA driver's license they probably won't even let him into Delaware on Friday - let alone Rehoboth!!!!
Storm surge is always the problem and with the Chesapeake having an almost directly opposite schedule of high tide than the Atlantic side - I'll have no idea which way it's coming from - but thankfully I'm about 15 miles from either. I live 2 miles west of 13, but only about 8 miles south of the Maryland line. so I am on about the widest patch of ESVA. When we had all the flooding the Wednesday after labor day here in Accomac county - I had all the rain, but none of the flooding - So I guess I'm one of those high spots!!!

I went over to babysit for my cousin late this afternoon; she said she was flying out to a week long convention in Paramus and she'd be back on Friday.
I said, "I don't think so."

Good that you're on high ground (relatively speaking) but I really doubt they would cencel the race - Dover craves the money so much they'd have it smack in the middle of the storm. :(
