Are you thinking that this might skirt Hatteras and come up the Chesapeake like the models showed this weekend?

I don't think it will track quite that far eastward, but I think the actual track will be somewhat east of the current one. And, as big as the windfield will be with this system, there will be hurricane force winds up into Maryland and a very large fetch for generating very large waves to the right of landfall.

It seems like people here in the know and others on weather forums feel like this Hurricane is going to reintensify, but here in Baltimore the news on the radio is acting like all is now well that the wind speeds dropped from 160 to 105. I have a feeling that they will get back up to almost 130 mph before landfall. I think alot of people in Virginia and Maryland could be in alot of trouble if this thing tracks further north than they are predicting before the eventual swing to the North West; especially if it intensifies before landfall to a CAT 3 or even 4.
