Sam,

I just got back from Corvettes @ Carlisle. Turn-out was low and lots of vacant room for Corvette parking. I heard from several vendors I deal with that attendance was low also.

I'm in Allentown now, seems we are in for it. We are not that far away from each other, so I would brace for it. So much for asking to go for a ride in your Z sometime soon..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

We had planned to drive our '62 Corvette from Richmond to Carlisle yesterday, then looking at the forecast decided it might be best if we put it in the trailer and just drove it around after we got there. Yesterday I decided I'd better just keep my butt at home. Bummer [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

I was actually in Charlotte on Friday for work, amazingly there was no trace of the Hurricane located just to the east, just sunny and 95 degrees there. Flew in and out the same day with no issues.

I am in Newport News, Virginia

.... and it looks like Sat. Noon until Sunday noon will be the worst of it for us.

...So far so good.... Hope Irene takes a RIGhT TURN.

I look on the weather channel at the &quot;Water Vapor Map&quot;... and it shows where the heat and water are coming from... kinda gives you a bigger picture of what is happening...
Here is the link.... check it out...

...... click here... ( if the map is NOT moving... click on &quot;Weather in Motion&quot; at the bottom left )

My sister-in-law lives on a Navel base somewhere in VA....She got a call a few hours ago that they are have an emergency evacuation there. She has been here for 3 weeks now with her 2 kids...and was planning on going home tomorrow. She's stuck her for a few more days from the sounds of it from what base is telling her.

We're in Lancaster - 30 or so miles east of Carlisle. I took one of our cars out for a drive in the country this morning. It was cloudy, but nice. It's been raining pretty hard since about 1:00 PM though. Friday was great at Carlisle - nice day and pretty well attended.
