The latest forecast for Chesapeake Bay:

Tonight
NE wind increasing to 25 to 30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt...then N 35 to
40 kt with gusts up to 50 kt after midnight. Waves 2 ft...building to 5
ft after midnight. Widespread heavy rain and scattered tstms in the
evening tapering to scattered showers overnight.


Gusts up to 50 mph? On the Bay...

Too bad it'll be dark...watching five footers or more on the Bay would
be a sight to see.






Really? 5 footers in Sandusky Bay off Lake Erie are not uncommon. Why
are
you so excited about 5 footers in the Chesapeake? I would guess the Bay
has
some pretty nasty seas at times...5 footers are certainly not nasty
although
the winds forecasted certainly are.

Have you ever been out in anything other than 1-2 footers Harry?




The Bay is relatively shallow, Dennis, and where we are, not very wide.

As is Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. 5 footers on either of them are not
uncommon.


There are significant portions of the shoreline barely above sea level.
With any kind of wind, five foot waves riding on top of a storm surge on
top of water that may only be three to four feet deep out a half mile to
nearly a mile in some places leads to an interesting visual.

What sort of storm surge is expected on the Bay? I do not recall any talk
about storm surges on the Chesapeake Bay resulting from Charley. Got a
link?

I finally figured you out Jim. Krause pays to to post. That way, his posts are
discussed more widely than they might be. That's it isn't it? You and your sock
puppets are foils for krause.

How much are you paid? Is it enough to life off of? Enquiring minds want to know.

Yes, you got me. Krause pays *to to post*.

He-he-he. Another Krause sock puppet bites the dust.
