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.

Saw some video from Brick...our friend Parrot6909 who bought my 21 lives there...video was of streets in a residential neighborhood and they were DEEP w/flowing water...
Hope it didn't get to you up there, Craig...and that the 21 is still floatin'!!... Glad to hear all the good reports comin' in from everybody...if you got any extra RAINWATER up there, send it down here...our ground is cracking we're so dry... Anybody heard from the MA crowd?...

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.
