So far the wind has picked up a bit and we have had light rain.

I don't think Barry's packin' anything you ol' veteran Cape Codders can't handle...wish we had gotten more rain from that system, but most of it stayed to our east :'( ...

I feel for you, Reel. A rain gauge on the south end of the island recorded nearly 3" for us, and the Savannah airport nearly 5". The problem is, the ground has been so dry it's pretty hard, and they say a lot of it didn't soak in but ran off instead. Still, I'm happy we got what we got. Except we spent a good part of yesterday cleaning up the yard. I did take the PD for a quick spin yesterday, to charge the batteries and pump out the bilge real good. The wind was whipping out there -- as soon as I left the mouth of the harbor I was in whitecaps and the boat was blowing sideways at idle. Even though the sun was out, we were still feeling the west wind on the backside of the system. Mother Nature is awesome!

Hang in there, MJ! Another day and it'll have moved out.

Raining like mad for 1 hour now!!

And my daughters car broke down, had to go get AAA to tow it home, no looking at it right now in this rain!

Re: Here comes Barry!!
 

Hang in there MJ, is it "batten" down the hatches, or "batton" down the hatches??? :-/

Re: Here comes Barry!!
 

Depends on whether the hatches are stuck or not.

Re: Here comes Barry!!
 

Good one, T'head ;D ;D ;D ...

Re: Here comes Barry!!
 

All and all the storm damaged very little, with minor power outages and just about perfect rainfall. Hope it's as kind to ya'll.
