Stoped and watched a crane go over the top of someones house to get to a boat in their back yard and sat it in the water. Bad time for the battery in my camera to go bad.

My dad said they're strongly considering not rebuilding 12 around the pea island area and thinking bout going ferry(s) only...one to Rodathe and another to Hatteras. He was told they got a 400 ft wide and 20ft deep channel from the storm around there and that may be to expensive to close. People kinda pissy with that idea, judge might have to sign off on it.

My father talked to a guy who runs everything there in Rodanthe, he said during the storm, most water damage was done by the sound and wind has pushed some much water to land that you could look out 100 yards in the sound and it was like a dessert when the eye passed....on the other side of the eye the wind was the worst. When the ass end of the storm showed back up, it took the water from the sound and shot it towards the island. The sound is what flooded everything. The guy said the eye of the hurricane was surreal.

They will close it up. To many people affect by doing nothing and a ferry will cost more money in the long run. Its only sand and there is plenty around to fill that hole.

Bad news on Katia is she is a Cat 3. Good news, the latest track shows her missing the East Coast.

Latest of the season...

Tropical Storm MARIA

Tropical Storm Lee can kiss my ass. We've had rain for 4 days straight (and it'll be 5 tomorrow), and it's gotten so bad around here we're experiencing serious flooding, which rarely happens around here. Plus no tv so can't watch the Pack v. Saints open up the NFL season, so I'm gonna watch it online until the power probably goes out and I lose my internet connection lol. And if the rain is this bad tomorrow, I'm probably not going to go to work, which is lame because I need da moniez. Since my work is only p/t I can't afford to miss days.



Going tubing during a flash flood? Why didn't I think of that? Oh yeah because I'm not an idiot.

I wish they'd cancel work. But alas, retail corporations don't care about us. I live in a pretty high ground area of DC and we aren't flooding here... yet. Have they closed Rock Creek Park yet? That place has gotta be damn near a swamp by now.

Www.insidenova.com for news on road closures in Virginia. Fairfax county schools already closed tomorrow, Woodbridge won't be far behind. Be safe out there, and don't go anywhere if you don't have to.

Seems like Lee is finally done, but yeah, what a week. Pennsylvania had it pretty bad.

Sandy could ravage Northeast as 'Frankenstorm,' forecasters warn - CNN.com

Here we effing go again. I cant afford to lose power at the house, have a project going on where I need my electricity. F*ck a hurricane

[firstdown]

I've been trying to figure out if they are just pumping up the storm to make good news or if this storm is really going to be as bad as they say. Its going to hit cooler water so I'm thinking it will weaking as it grows closer.
