Coastal Surge
"Gene Kearns" wrote in message ... On Thu, 31 Aug 2006 09:13:01 -0400, Harry Krause penned the following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats: Depending on which way the wind blows, there's a chance tropical storm Ernesto will push a substantial surge up Chesapeake Bay, causing some flooding of lowlands, including marinas and possibly Annapolis and Baltimore. The last time this happened, there was some serious damage in Annapolis and, closer to me, Deale and Chesapeake Beach. We're more than 100' above sea level right here, so I'm not concerned about a surge but we're also likely to get three to four inches of rain. Another holiday weekend...shot. We had 3 feet of water over some streets last night and Ernesto isn't even here yet... after Midnight we're looking at 50 MPH winds and up to 8" of rain...... -- Grady-White Gulfstream, out of Oak Island, NC.

For days they were saying we were going to get a cat. 1 in C FL. All we got was light rain and no wind. I hope you guys are as lucky. Jim |
