Let it fall and do the removal yourself. You can save the money that the insurance company will give you and get rid of the stinky carpet.

The ONLY thing you can do at this point is make sure your gutters are cleaned and put your lawn furniture away.

It could be nasty, but I do hope that the winds die down IF it hits lands.

I'm in the same boat. I've had tons of trees removed this year, but my lot is just like yours, trees everywhere. If it is the tree in the front, I think it could nip your house, but that is it. You want a new car, so just park your car near the tree, that should soften the fall. :shrug:

The winds are 150-200 MPH, so I don't think there is much anyone can do but hope it dies down. If we do not get a direct hit, we will still get tons of rain, so the best advice I can think of is clean your gutters and put your lawn furniture away. We still have 4-5 days that could change everything.

The NWS 1100 update shows that between the 18th and 19th the storm will hit eastern NC and pass directly over Southern Maryland tracking towards central PA. Right now it looks like we will get hurricane force winds and the associated rain, but since this is a weather phenomenon (and we know how accurate weather guys are), who knows exactly what we will get. Wednesday I’ll be cleaning up around the house, putting away anything that might blow around, and securing anything that might become a projectile.

So we need to be ready soon.

You're welcome.

Also the pic of Isabel I posted (on pg 1) is updated by itself. It shows the current position of the storm.

Oh, Lord, I am. I'm used to earthquakes. Storms still scare me. I don't know what to expect.

This storm is starting to scare me... I guess I'd be over reacting if I packed the kids in the car and drove to Montana huh?
