This WAWA is 1 1/2 miles from my house in Avalon, NJ. Doesn't look too good, but I'm hoping. That's not ocean water, that's intra-coastal waterway (bay) water, but the island is only about 1/2 mile wide, so in some parts, the ocean could actually meet the bay!! Some fun!!

Still have power in York PA.
so far its just a windy rainstorm.

Just took a walk around the property. Some small leaks in the garage and shop from water getting blown under the pedestrian door sill. Otherwise, we are holding tight.

There is flooding and Camp Hill PA and Lancaster. Nothing reported in York yet.

Government agencies in Baltimore are closed again tomorrow, so I will be at home. Intend to ride to some of the local streams and survey them.

This is the river I usually kayak down. Its right near Herb Berwald's place.
It needs 100 cfs for my kayak to be able to scrape down it, and 200cfs for it to be at all enjoyable. Its been running at 50-75cfs since spring and I have not been able to get down it once this summer.

Right now...
20,000 CFS and about 18 feet deep!!! And rising! WOW!

Looks like the worst is over for us - with Sandy speeding up they've downgraded wind and rain predictions for us. Winds are presently averaging a reasonable 25 or so, down from 30-35 earlier this evening when gusts were into the 50's. The steady winds of 45-50 with gusts to 75 has been removed from the forecast. Looks like we've had 8-9 inches of rain so far, expecting another 1-2 overnight.

Looks like the guys a little further up the coast took it in the shorts, hope damage/flooding is not as bad as the news is predicting for them. On Friday they had Sandy tracking south of Ocean City and then right into my neck of the woods on the middle Chesapeake - I'm not complaining - been there, done that...

Coasties were able to save 14 of the 16 aboard, and are still looking for the Captain.

Power was out for us most of yesterday in Allentown. Light to medium rain. Wind gusts up to 40mph.

I'm in Pittsburgh right now and yesterday and today it's just raining; not much wind. They predicted 2-4 inches of rain here.

Its just a rainstorm here in York PA now.
wok up and the power was still on. Expected to find 1/4 inch of water in the basement, but it seemed to be drying up! The usual flood points are still (barely) in thier banks, though one local bridge currently has a tree through it.

Its going to rain all day, but its just rain. The storm seems to have moved on.

We're screwed here in Jersey. Power is out, place is flooded and trees are down everywhere. But, the iPhone still works.

Just got the CAT call. Don't know where I'm headed yet. I need to close out a few things here first but Northern NJ and Mass were mentioned as destinations.


Keep an eye out for a teener for me on your travels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Power still out in Allentown.

BTW, on my trip to Pittsburgh on Sunday, I saw at least 10 convoys of 5 to 10 electric company trucks and tree service trucks heading east on the PA turnpike. Pretty impressive sights. Those guys have their work cut out for them.
