…and there may be lots more before we’re through with this wet complex of warm moving air over the south and east.
Joaquin is a real wild card. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a projected storm path that was so very wide. There just too many variables to predict if this one will swing through the NC coast and on into SWVA, or into New England, or back out to sea.
Meanwhile, many are like we are–home bound for days (at least) by damaged bridges and roads.
VDOT is not likely to make any attempt to fix our part of Goose Creek, what with another couple of inches expected by the weekend, and then the threat of the new hurricane.
It is not out of the realm of possibilities to imagine that many could be isolated to their homes or small stretches of passable road for two weeks or more.
Watch out for your neighbors, as much as you can. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
be safe out there Fred… I headed back to NH just in time… I wish all Floyd folks dry weather and fixed roads soon. What a mess with even more on the way. We’re getting rain here in NH but nothing like your dealing with.
As one well accustomed to hurricanes and their wrath, I fully agree with your mantra. I have long used the same “Prepare for the worst, pray for the best.” (Great minds think alike!) That said, you and Ann stay safe. You will be in my prayers.
That looks grim, Fred. Hope things lighten up for you and that you and Ann can stay safe and dry through it all.
Just keep electricity so your food isn’t ruined!
