Is anyone starting to plan evacuation out there? The latest models show
the eye going right over my garage.g I'm only 6 miles from salt
water,
but I'm at 115 feet of altitude, so I'm going to ride it out. The storm
surge *could* wind up re-shaping the barrier islands of NJ, like one
did
just under a century ago.

It doesn't look good.

Good luck. Hope you got a generator and plenty of gas.

Best Regards
Tom.


No generator, and I used the last of the gas in the lawnmower this week.
If
it looks bad, we're headed west. I have a case of water and food and
clothes
for a few days in the trunk.


It's not too late to pick up an inverter
to run your fridge off your car electricals
for an hour a day.

Thanks for the thought, Winston, but I'm not going to get trapped here. If
it's a high Category 2 and headed straight for us, we're gone.

And we only have a hurricane hit hard about once per century. d8-)
