And to pass along something, I especially likewww.wunderground.comfor weather
stuff - good hurricane info, as well as all sorts of in-depth offshore info,
like buoy data, etc.


TC,

thanks R...


of course, wayno's so far inland, his only worry is whether it'll affect
his weekend golf outings. my county will no doubt get some much needed
rain and perhaps a windy day/night. *folks on the coast have started
packing up, a friend on the pamlico is taking his dock up, and ocracoke
island has been evacuated. the coasters and outer bankers are a hardy
lot... but, most are still unsure what we'll see up here.

Well, I don't want to jinx anything, but "so far inland" means only so much if
you're within a coupla hundred miles of where it hits land. *With Katrina, there
were some pockets of pretty heavy damage up as far as at least Jackson, and
Greensboro is about the same distance or a little less from the y'all's coast,
IIRC. *Thankfully for all, if predictions are accurate, it'll stay offshore and
all of the east coast will remain on the weaker side of it, as "weaker sides" of
these things go. *The Hurricane Hunters are saying this is a larger,
well-developed storm, but thankfully it appears that y'all won't take a direct
hit.

IAC, we'll be thinking a good thought for y'all,

My coworker is scheduled to fly into Boston as it hits there and
continue on to Nova Scotia... as it hits there.
