Goodnight, Irene...
 

The latest tracking info seems to indicate Irene will skirt across the
bottom of Chesapeake Bay and hit the tip of the DelMarVa Peninsula. The
Bay is narrow, though, so I'm sure we're going to have a hell of a lot
of wind and rain and, of course, the usual several days of power outages.

Boat's in a creek up the Pax River, tied to a floating dock. About as
much as I can do. The marinas on the Bay are not particularly sheltered.

Looks to me as if you'll just have a windy normal storm with rain...if
you are lucky.

I will be taking some photos for possible insurance claims. Since I
have been posting so many photos of my home, please let me know if you
want me to post some photos of my boat.

It looks like you are all getting a break. The storm ran into some
shear and it weakened some. If that keeps up you will see a cat 1 or
even a TS by the time it gets to Long Island


Radar shows a huge rainstorm and more heading our way, and not far away.
I sure wouldn't mind a weaker hurricane just skirting the edges of our
area, through. Even a small storm surge floods the streets in nearby
Chesapeake Beach, though.

I hope the worst of it is a one day power outage for us. That's the
usual for heavy wind/thunderstorms.
