Winds are picking up. I just moved the cars to a part of our lot where they have the least likelihood of being hit by trees or branches. There are no totally safe spots from downed trees. The basement is flooding and the pump is set up and will hopefully work. Long Beach Island’s dunes have already been breached and the ocean will meet the bay before too long. Darby Creek is rising and will probably back up and flood much of Delaware County. There’s not really any sand left at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Cape May’s downtown is flooded for the first time since 1892. I think their seawall is screwed. Ducks are swimming in the streets of Absecon, New Jersey.
There’s a line for the showers here this morning because we have well water and we won’t have fresh water once the power goes out. We’re cooking our frozen food so that it doesn’t go to waste.
The Hurricane is headed right for our house as a strong Category One. It will probably hit the coast tonight and pass over us around seven or eight in the morning.
You can use this as an open thread to talk about the storm, politics, or whatever you want.
