If you're here, you're going to be up. Might not be online, but you ain't sleeping through it.

The media is getting on my nerves with storm preparation. You wait to watch/hear the latest news on the storm and you have to listen and watch people buy water, batteries, ply board their houses and pack sand. Well, I just want them to tell me where the fricken storm is, that is all.

Well, in our house that would be me. How about your house?

Hopefully, my boss, who lives in Alexandria, will realize that sometimes life must interrupt the practice of federal Indian law, and that her secretary is not out to ruin that practice. If she realizes these things, she won't balk when I tell her I can't get my Tercel over the trees laying across Piney Church Road.

Me

Elephants could parade thru this house and the others would never wake up.

I have a question for everyone. Who is your favorite weather person?

I like Doug Hill, channel 7.

Dr. George Fishbeck of KABC-TV, Los Angeles. I don't even know if he's still living. He did the weather when I was a kid. My favorite living, practicing meteorologist: Fritz Coleman, KNBC, Los Angeles. "Fritz Said It Would Be Like This.™" (I'm a little homesick.)

Locally, Bob Ryan, just because he's on the channel 4 news, and that's the news I watch. :shrug:

Tiki Bar

They took the big sign down and boarded her up this evening. It made the news.

The eye of the storm is redefining itself and becoming stronger. It is still a category #2, but it still has to cross the warmer waters, which will surely strengthen it, so it may become a lower level category #3.

All warrening are out it coming right too us.

To all places around water. Ocean city, St.marys , & other places around ( It Starts Wed. Night) then we go from there. Which the news.

Tide table

Could someone post the high & low tides for Solomons, Cove Point, Long Beach? I'd like to see when the surge will come in...
Thanks.

Looks like my novice prediction of 9/12 wasn't too far off.

I guess I found the right site...have a look...Mid Calvert will be at High Tide by 9 AM Friday morning....when the eye of Isabel is sitting up on Frederick MD (sorry Vrai)
We're on the east side...thus with high tide, how will Flag Ponds and Calvert Cliffs park do?

Ready for a damaged boat auction at Solomons by Saturday?

That the news says the eye is growing. The tides are going to be real bad for these who live around the water. so like around us.

 

[SeaRide]

Wonder how those RVs at the Breezy Point campground are going to survive through this one?

I guess I could check it out on Saturday.

 

[Hessian]

Searide...thanks but isn't that data last week?????

For fun...check out NBC4 website on the "hurricane desk"...lots of features,...past storms, tracking...damage..and more.

I am looking forward to another cord of firewood for the winter by the storm this blows past.!!
