Those of you in the 'target area' may want to note these times for the station closest to you in case you are deciding whether to bail out or stay behind when the time comes to make that decision.

Jeez, Louise, just get out now and come back later. Life is too short. You can't predict a hurricane.

Stay safe.

To those thinking of leaving, make your reservations now. We had a scare in New Orleans, and my daughter had to drive to Memphis to find a hotel room,,,they book up fast.

I agree with you, but some people are stubborn, and not without reason. At least one person was concerned that if they left, they wouldn't be allowed back for days, during which time rain could damage the place or looting could occur.

When I look at some of these bays on the map, and consider a wall of water pushed ahead of a Cat 3 or Cat 4 hurricane, I can't figure where else the water would go other than up onto the land. Sounds like a bottleneck to me. Anybody out there know if any studies have been done about potential damage if a Cat 3/Cat 4 hurricane went straight into the Chesapeake Bay?
