Well the latest marine forecast for my area is still calling for wind gusts to 50-55kt Saturday and Saturday night but looking at the storm track, and they have raised the TS Watch to a WARNING but I'm still guessing it won't happen. Nevertheless I brought in my potted plants, and the smaller deck furniture. Just a little rain now. The radar makes me think this storm is going inland fast and that will cut the wind dramatically. That is good.

The Amish Country Bike Ride in Dover has been cancelled for tomorrow. Still waiting to see if the Fish Hawk Paddling Festival will cancel as well... Though I don't think we'll get the huge winds, for sure we'll get the localized flooding - which will make all the kayak launch areas inaccessible. And even if we get 40-45kt winds that is still significant.

Of course this may all be wishful thinking, and we will really get hammered.... I live less than a mile from the ocean as the crow flies so certainly I'm HOPING for a less dramatic weekend than originally forecast.
