Lot of wind and rain but the Willy house hold is doing OK.
My brother in law on the Delaware River, lives on the PA side just south of Frenchtown NJ is in trouble, basement full and flooding over onto the first floor. we cannot get to him and he cannot get out yet so we are waiting to hear what he needs and when we can get there. The river is set to crest tomorrow afternoon at 21.5 feet above flood, that puts it at his front step, if they are off by six inches it puts it inside the rest of his home. Waiting to hear on FishBones which is on the hard on jack stands at the marina. No contact so far. I know the town streets behind them are flooded. I am worried about that good looking fellow in LI NY, his town is under water flooded. I am referring to MJ's boyfriend CTT Also worried about Destroyer and others up in North Jersey. All the major river watersheds are at above record flood levels. That is no F'n buono. Right now we have some hard gusting winds in the 40 knot range as the back arm of the storm is passing by, no rain with it yet. If I don't lose any trees with this back side it looks like I am going to skate through.

Glad you are fairing for the better Willy. Sorry about your bro-in-law. So long as everyone is safe, think of it a a big inconvenience. Things can be replaced, flood damage is surmountable.
Last place I want my boat is in the marina during a Hurricane. Just got a look at some nasty chop having its way with some moored vessels in New Bedford, MA. Capt. Pete is probably busy right about now. Happy belated Capt. Pete. On the hill at the marina isn't as bad but on a trailer in the yard sounds better to me. That is until a big ole' tree limb decides to give up the ghost... RKC, sucks about your pool.

Willy, thanks for the kind thoughts.. Hope your bro-in-law is ok. River in front of my house is set to crest Tuesday midday. Supposed to crest at 14.5 feet above flood stage. To put that into prospective, the worst flood in recorded history for the Passaic river was 17.2 feet above flood stage, set in 1907. This will be the second worst if the predictions hold up. Water can enter my house throught the garage door, and 14.5 will
put the water about 3 1/2 feet high in my (finished) basement :(. I have metal panels that I've placed across the door. If they hold then we'll be ok except for the seepage.. if they let go my basement is totaled... just like your bro-in-law.. if they are off by 6 inches or so it's goodby basement, hello new boiler,washer, dryer, tons of tools and equipment, etc etc etc.. <sigh> This story is getting old.. We can use prayers if anyone has some spares lying around. Will keep you guys posted as time goes by and the story unfolds.
