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 Ed.


Don't be a hero...stuff can be replaced.


You and your family can't.

Thanks, TMT. Don't worry about us hanging around if it looks really bad.
We're too high to worry about storm surge, and I can handle the rain. But if
the sustained wind is going to be over 70 mph, we're gone.



Your biggest problem is the large trees around your house. The ground
gets soggy and the roots pull up and over they go. If you stay sleep
in the bathtub. unless you have one of those flimsy fiberglass tubs
then sleep under your bed.
