Long Hard Slog by Ivan Bodley (http://sharemyplaylists.com/artists/Ivan+Bodley/track/Long+Hard+Slog/lyrics)

is what they say that could happen, going to happen, that is of course if this thread is about that which is perhaps to happen.

coming straight up the chesapeake and will hover over old town alexandria for 3 days

no

It's looking real bad

Usually hurricanes don't phase me but I'm not at all looking forward to this one, especially considering that most of the models so far seem to indicate that the eye is heading start dead on my way. Hoping that I don't have to evacuate. Hell, hoping the land is still above water after it's all over!

Frank, how's it doing along your stretch of the beach? Hope okay.

I know there are bigger things to worry about, but right now I'm thinking I may never get to see a Heartless Bastards show in DC.

You can't drive in the rain?

there could be sustained winds of 70mph+ or so.  Depending on the track, it could be a lot like Isabel…..I would rather not experience that again.  Could be worse for Philly rather than here this time though.

Google put up a nifty crisis map for this: http://google.org/crisismap/sandy-2012

HA HA HA - SUCKERS,

I am just glad I'm not getting married this time.  Got married 2 days after Isabel on the water in Havre de Grace.  No power, lots of generators, ran out of ice, but most importantly, not booze.

Heading back home from Miami

Talking to them about a hurricane coming is like talking about snow in Utah

Oh, it was 70° here today and absolutely beautiful, especially considering that it's the end of October. The past week has been wonderful and even went up to 75° a few days ago.

I was going to go swimming the other day but opted instead to go to the Farmers Market in Berlin since after this month it will be over until next spring. Spent the day there and had a great time.

In the meantime, everything has still been great but leave it to stupid Comcrap to act like the storm has hit already. The Weather Channel, the local Government Access Channel and the Resort Channel have dropped out their video. Even the audio dropped out for a short time about 10 minutes ago. Just what we need! Thank God I have the internet.

Tomorrow will not be fun at work with all of the very concerned people calling and asking us questions that we don't have answers to. It's just those who expect us to have an in with the weather gods as though all has already been written in stone who make it so difficult. It will be busy!

From what I'm hearing (again, no visuals), it's been downgraded but can easily pick up strength as it moves along. Of course, even if the hurricane portion of it dies down by it comes this way, it doesn't mean all will be clear.

Hey Walkie, you might get snow!  :o

Cavalier attitudes like that can be deadly!

Hope you make it back safely.

I was out walking my dog and got hit by water from someone's lawn sprinkler. On October 27. A day before the hurricane. They had TWO lawn sprinklers going. Welcome to the burbs.

For the record, they had an Obama sign on that lawn.
