Praying It misses you & comes ashore in Washington D.C. and gives that town an enema .

Wow—this beats the record for people rushing to criticize the info provided for this thread. No good deed goes unpunished.
Checking in. Have a few people I know in the path. Wishing you all well.
I agree. Stormpulse.com looks quite good for graphics.
Thanks for mentioning the site.
Thanks for putting up this thread as usual....
My daughter is at Surf City NC....direct hit...she has evacuated....
My Brother and Sister in law are in Rehobeth Beach DE, another direct hit......They are hunkered down, the bridges
Watching with concern....
Mandatory evacuations along the NJ coast began yesterday. Those on the barrier islands were to evacuate yesterday and those on the mainland are to evacuate starting today.
Orders are that no one is to go to the NJ coast.
The concern extends inland. I have first hand knowledge that senior citizens in Salem County, NJ (across the DE River from Wilmington, DE), are being called and urged to make ready as they may need to move further inland or report to a shelter.
Sussex County, DE has also received mandatory evacuation orders. Aircraft at Dover AFB will be relocated.
Bump!
Smith Island or Tangier Island, both are in the Bay and both are being evacuated.
Thanks again for your hurricane survival tips and reminders... I’ve got a full tank of gas and the laundry is done! Will be sure to run dishwasher, etc. before the inevitable power outage, which “may last for awhile” according to our ‘RAT governor... :-(
Try this one as a bonus - http://spaghettimodels.com/
I especially like this one found inside - http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/mimic-tpw/natl/anim/latest72hrs.gif
I happen to know a ham who will be doing the same from the south shore of Long Island. He is married to my mother.

I saw it! Was disappointed when I saw the “best graphic” was a link I had just gone to, NN.
LOL!!! That’s the spirit!
and gives that town an enema...
Too bad the FIC isn’t there...[feces in charge]
Having driven through Katrina from Jackson to Beaumont, and sat in Houston through Rita after failing to get out of town due to gas shortages, please listen:
If you are in the likely path of this thing, GET OFF THE COMPUTER RIGHT NOW AND GO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS!
Fill your gas tank, get some gallons of water, and if you have dependents get the hell out of town. The odds are you will be fine even if you sit it out, but the fact of the matter is that whole families were buried in the aftermath of Katrina. Entire households drowned.
Godspeed and go take care of storm business. Everything else is secondary right now.
Is it too late to name this one ‘Hurricane Krugman’ ?
Well at least I am at the top of someones list 8-)
LOL, think there's a bunch here that appreciate your efforts, especially those in the path.
