I'm living on the Delmarva Peninsula and if the water gets deeper than my jack stands are tall, I am NOT going to be happy!

Any Carolinians on here? We just came up from the Outer Banks of NC where they voted us off the island and we had to cut our vacation short. I know it's going to be a serious mess and we're praying for everyone's safety.

yeah, the Great Dismal Swamp has been burning for months, an earthquake last week, and now Irene. Heard the locusts will be here around labor day . . . .

Looks like Irene will make landfall around Morehead City NC around 8AM--peak for us in SE Virginia will be around 8 tonight.

Time for coffee . . . .

All the best,

Steve A-

Hey, Kansas.

I live in the suburbs of Salisbury. Just a couple miles south. So far, so good here. Wind and rain have really picked up.

Right now I am in Leesburg about 33 mi south of Frederick and nothing really happening here. Will be heading out in about an hour to Matt's place.

Eastern Shore MD here as well... I got the 914 wrapped up tight in the driveway. Cleared the dead tree earlier this week, tuned up the toyota truck and the chainsaw just in case. OC maryland was mandatory evacuation-crazyness. Goodluck targatoy looks like its going right over top of us...

Still OK here. 20 gals of gas and the generator ready to go (warmed it up yesterday). Saturdays are normally my garage/914 time but A: we were supposed to be in the OBX until tomorrow, B: my garage is now full of stuff I don't want blowing through my neighbors' windows, and C: I'm enjoying a day of watching chick flicks with my wife and 3 daughters (and nephew (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) )

Matthew McConaughey rides a cool Triumph Bonneville in "How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days" if you need a reason to justify watching such a film. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Everybody STAY SAFE out there!!

My wife flew into Boston this morning. She is working there this week. For her and all others I will keep you in my prayers.

She will be fine in Boston, most storms get much slower when they hit ground in NC,.
By the time it gets up here it will be 50-80mph winds and lots of rain.
We have very serious weather up here all the time...mostly winter...
Boston is safe.
Lots of land between us and the Bahamas to slow things down.

Tell her to get away from glass windows...most hotels have rooms for this.
The rain will wash out to the ocean eventually.

Tell her to buy a flashlight....worst thing is a pitch black hotel you have never been inside...BTDT.

I hope all the mid atlantic people are safe.

Just talked to her an hour ago. Starting to rain already and she is set with a bottle of wine and room service. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) She took a duck tour at around noon EST and saw a few sights before storm started.
