Howdy all, 11 am for the next NWS update on Irene.
Looking more and more like it may roll close to the DelMarVa shoreline.
Lookout NJ and NY!

I saw that George, it looks like you'll be slowing it down a little in the Lower/Slower!

Problem is Steve, we don't have that much land to slow it down much. At the widest part, the DelMarVa peninsula is only lik 70 miles wide as the crow flies.
I'm thinking we may need a 50 foot tower to get above the storm surge

If I were there I would make sure the insurance is paid up, grab the photos and computers and get the heck out of there. Otherwise, you are going to get your feet wet.

Well to give you an idea, the highest point in the county, not including MT Trashmore, is 35'.
Where I live is 13'.
Ya think I need to get a boat?
