I'm not buying the hype. Strong tropical storm... Mild damage. Some flooding. Nothing like the last 2 hurricanes we have had. Just my opinion...

Not buying the hype but trying to be reasonably prepared & prudent. Even have my beer* if it fizzles I can switch to my non-game-face.
* a nice Belgian White - did a functional verification and validation test last night and that was working as well. |

South Jersey's going to get whacked.
We'll have TS winds, storm surge and about 5 inches of rain Sat - Mon.
Expecting 8 up here in NW Maine, dam guy was lowering the lake, running 300 cfs for about 6 hours, triple normal flow,
pulling boats all day. I think one may get stuck on the back of the RAV

Running yesterday by the water I wondered how much those giant barges they have in the Sakonnet they're using to stage the steel tubs will move in a 70kt wind.

Could be--the 11 AM numbers are that max sustained winds dropped a bit, again, to 105 mph. A lot depends on whether it tracks north over land or water. All of the 8 AM models show a track across Hatteras and then out into the Atlantic again. |

Yeah your kayak might roll around the yard. 
Maybe the gubbermint weather control jets will save us?
