The end of it is supposed to hit here (Maine) this weekend, shouldn't be too bad by then.

Sending out best wishes to all TVCHers who are in the path! Remember we'll be waiting to hear that you're all safe afterwards.

This Is. is one bad mama jamma! Here on the NC/SC border (also known as the beach with the big hurrican target) we hope this ol gal turns tail out to sea. We've ridden out some heavy catagory 3's but a high four will be tough wherever she lands.

All of ya'lls preparation plans sound good except Square. You know power will be the first thing to go, so unless you are German, forget the beer and get a nice selection of Augergine wine!

Foliage - may I ask where you live? Seems that we may not live very far from each other. I live in Sneads Ferry. I just told my dh yesterday that Wilmington has to remove that invisible target sign that hurricanes seem to find! lol

Hey Tag, We are indeed in fair Wilmington! Didn't know I had a neighbor on the board.

OH! I nearly forgot to mention the most important part of my hurricane preparedness ritual. One must be prepared to make coffee without power! I use a fondue pot w/ sterno to boil the water and a lovely french press pot to brew my java.

Wow. That's a pretty cool picture. Good luck east coasters (esp. in the Carolinas and Virginia/DC area). I'll be thinking about you! I expect this will be a rough week.

Good luck to all of you who are in reach of Isabel. I will be thinking about you.

Thanks for the picture SAS. I am still right in Isabel's path, in fact, it looks like I'll be dead center of that diagram when it passes just west of DC and Baltimore. I sure hope the winds die down some by that time. I don't live in a flood zone, but I have BIG trees all around my house!

thx spitfire, with the first link it looks like the black line will pass my area. but we are still in the range, just not dead center anymore. but who knows what will happen when the time comes.

My pleasure Square and good luck to you!

I am in Southern Ontario and weather reports here state that we will see effects from Isabel by Friday. High winds and rain but nothing to drastic.

Good links Spitfire, thanks. I just wish it showed Isabel going out to sea! I can dream can't I.

I just hope and pray this whole shebang doesn't spawn any 'Perfect Storms'.

OG, I just pray, period. I'm still in the storm's path (in Virginia). For those of you in the path as well, let's hold hands mentally

I hear you Midlifer. I'm already getting a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I pray all of us stay safe.

From a good news standpoint, Isabel has weakened and is now only a category 2 hurricane. While a hurricane is still a hurricane, a 2 creates significantly fewer problems than a 5.
