stay safe, baydog.
ReplyDeleteNot going anywhere, M2F!
DeleteGlad you got your boat out. Play safe if you decide to take the sails off. Raining like hell down here but I've still got 'lectric this morning. Probably lose it tonight when the storm gets closer.
ReplyDeleteI'm counting on no power, but still on as of 10:40 a.m.
DeleteHas everyone been evacuated from the NJ barrier islands?
ReplyDeleteSounds like George is still there, but I thought the Governor mentioned evac a day or two ago. Shore areas not on a barrier I believe are voluntary.
DeleteFrom what I understand about barrier islands they are essentially temporary geography. Large storms can create new inlets, eliminate whole islands, or move them by up to a kilometer towards the mainland. If this is really the biggest storm of our lifetime I am pretty sure I would have evacuated when that nice Mr. Christie told me to.
ReplyDeleteGood luck George!
Mr. Christie is nice that way.....
DeleteThanks Tillerman,and the same to you! Actually I'm back in Maryland and it's tough here as well but not like on the island, parts of which are underwater as I type this. The barrier islands (like Brigantine) did have mandatory eval orders. You could stay, but if you went over the bridge the cops wouldn't let you back on the island. Some townships make you sign papers if you refuse to go. As a teenager I saw what the Ash Wednesday storm of '62 did to that island and so leaving after lashing the house down was a no brainer for me. Hopefully the joint will still be standing on Wednesday.
DeletePleased to hear you're not on the island any more. Looks like it's going to be a very tough night for anyone who is.
DeleteI just heard that the National Hurricane Center has revised the landfall location from Atlantic City to having the storm go up the Delaware Bay. I might have a rougher night here in Maryland than I was figuring on!
DeleteHope everyone is safe & dry!
ReplyDeleteSo far so good, RW.
DeleteHoping Barnegat Bay stays pretty much where it is and doesn't pay you a visit.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the wind map that you've linked to
over there ======>>
It gives an animated view of how storm winds are affecting the entire east coast. At the moment, the central Jersey coast is at the center of the rotation, with winds on the North Jersey shore out of the NE and on the South Jersey shore out of the NW, at a steady 45 mph.
Hang on tight.
I've been watching the wind map, OD. 3:45 and we still have power. The shore is already a complete mess and it's still early.
DeleteI'm amazed at the total lack of traffic going by my house. There's literally nobody out on the roads. I can't say I've ever seen such adherence to weather warnings before.
ReplyDeleteThe storm's center is getting close(r) to Maryland: my old barometer (measures "inches of mercury" rather than millibars)has been dropping all day and has now moved from "rain" to "stormy" i.e. the needle is now below 29", in 28.92" territory. A Moth boat friend who lives an hour and a half east of me over in slower Delaware has already seen his barometer peg out at 28" even. His doesn't go any lower.
DeleteThe pressure at the center of Sandy was 943 millibars which is 27.85 inches of mercury.
