Thanks Mary Lou for the update. The kind of winds you are expecting will certainly take out power lines. Glad you and Fred have a generator and a camper to stay in. Be safe.

Everything battened down. Boat and travel trailer out from under the trees. Batteries charged and travel trailer water tank full. We have a generator and MIFI Internet service so as long as the cell tower is functioning and not overloaded we may have Internet access. Current conditions: Heavy rain - a couple of inches so far. Wind at Tolchester Beach (near us on the Ches. Bay) 24 gusting to 31 Wind at Francis Scott Key Bridge (near Baltimore other side of the Bay) 20 gusting to 22 I posted some links for storm watchers to the Trailer Sailor Bulletin Board http://bbs.trailersailor.com/forums/trailersailor/index.cgi/read/848512 They are predicting 40 to 60 mph sustained and gusts to 75 here. That's an increase over what they were forecast last night. We are fairly certain power will be out and it could be out for days. 6-8" of rain though we shouldn't have much trouble with that. More worried about the wind. Stay safe everyone Mary Lou At 07:52 AM 10/29/2012, you wrote:See the original archive post
