: Hope everyone on the east coast of the US is prepared for hurricane
: Irene. She looks like a dozy of a storm. I intend to spend the
: day working in the shop... as long as we have power that is...

I'm about 15 miles from the coast here in Maine. The marine forecast is for 22 to 26 foot waves Sunday night.

I'll have to drive to the coast Monday to check it out, if the roads are clear.

My generator's working and the cat's strapped down. She hates when I do that!

Hey Nick, are you high enough above the shore at your house to evade the surge? You're about ten feet above sea level there, if I remember, aren't you?

Don't be tempted to go paddling!

And uncle Jay, what's your forecast for the seas near Brandford? Will any of those houses get flushed off the Thimble Islands?

The eye of the hurricane could pass over either of you guys.
