Default Re: Hurricane Irene

Well, this week was my first vacation days all year and I was at the beach in Beach Haven NJ. We got the earthquake which shook our house a good 4-6" side to side so that was interesting. But the hurricane came in faster than they expected so we left yesterday afternoon since I still wanted to pull my boat out of the Delaware River which they are now predicting to come up 20-22 feet where I keep my boat. They always say that the flooding kills more people than the wind from a hurricane so don't take any risks with water covered roads and if you're in a low lying area in the northeast, head for higher ground. We've had some record amount of rain the past 2 weeks and the ground is already saturated so 8-12" of rain has no place to go. Everyone stay safe!
