Folks down there I think are going have a time with this one. The surf last weekend was almost to the main dune on beach already...

So your place is in Rodanthe? Nice. Ours is on the 8th mile marker across from the Wright Brother Momorial Light House. I just went on 168 in Chesapeake and its bumper to bumper and its probably going to be like that late into the night.

They do that so they can get federal assistance quicker. All the states in this area have delared a state of emergency. That was one of the issues in NO and Katrina.

Nice, yeah there is mobile gas station/coveniance stop along the beach road around milepost 8 I like to stop at and grab beer (good selection) and they make pretty kick ass subs too. Also Pigman BBQ around mile post 8 is freakin my favorite. Pigmens also has some Skins stuff hanging up inside as well, pretty f'in cool. So driving in im always stopping round there.

The store is Stop n Shop and yes they do make kick ass sandwiches. Its 3 blocks from our place. We keep a menu in our beach bag and call ein our order for lunch. If you want something kick ass go by Johns around the 4 mile marker on the beach road and get the fish boat or sandwhich. Its a littl dive with just a few tables out side but their food is great. They also have very good milk shakes with about 50 different flavors.

It was projected to hit Long Island and Cape Cod...possibly continue to Nova Scotia!

Does seem a little premature, but hey...better than Louisiana's State reponse.

Lessons must have been learned.

Yeah that's it.

I saw later the expected track of the storm, and they had hurricane force storms going right over Long Island/cape cod (must be God's judgement on the liberal northeast!). Originally I thought Earl was supposed to turn back out to see

Pretty much a non event here in our area. I'll have to say Va. Power was ready I passed two hotels on the way to worked packed with utility trucks.
