I love dopey labsI'm considering sending them off and discreetly hiding out here anyway. I'd prefer not to impose on family or friends with two dopey labs in tow.
Dogg ... I want to head to Webbs Mill, climb and attach myself to the biggest tree, and listen for the beavers calling out to you and Jessica to save them. Video at 11.

They just said on WOND 1400am - Atlantic City that a travel ban goes into effect at 12:00am tonight. Anyone caught on the road will be arrested. They also said we could get a 10' storm surge tomorrow. If that much water comes in with some force behind it, that could bring my house down.
Don't think I want to get too far from home tomorrow. Remember the mess last year when they made the highways one-way, etc? http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/hurricane.7513/page-3#post-88326
Tropical force winds are already approaching NJ.

It is time for you to head to high ground!
Low tide is at 3:42pm tomorrow. My truck is parked three miles offshore. If that storm is still making a B-line for me and they're still predicting a storm surge of potentially 10 feet, travel ban or no travel ban I'm going for my truck and heading inland to relatives. Better to risk ending up in a jail cell for driving than risk having the house cave in on me.
Up here high tide is in about 49 minutes and it is already past the high marker. The chart may show a low tide, but with the wind I doubt it will actually be low. It will just continue to build thru the cycles until the storm passes.
Fortunately I can see the road going out of town from my house, so I'll know if it's passable on foot. I won't attempt to walk through water if it's flooded. We're at mid-tide right now and the water has dropped back below the top of the bulkhead. Monday morning's high tide will probably be rough, but the one that really concerns me is the high tide at 9:07pm Monday night. That's when the storm will be coming ashore, and we'll have a full moon.
Be very careful Old Crazy, are you really going to try to walk 3 miles through this storm?
The NWS is showing the storm track shifting to the South this morning with landfall somewhere around Middle Township. And they are no longer showing a hurricane warning, just a tropical storm. Wind estimates are much lower now for me too, with the highest gusts at 55 mph
Moving further North, the estimates are a little higher through. This is what they are showing for Bayville for example. Is that due to the counter-clockwise rotation of the storm maybe?
Stay safe everybody. Let's hope that it isn't as bad as they originally forecast.

Only thing I don't like is the pressure is still dropping.Down to 946mb at the center of the storm

The cam I pasted is from Ocean City and shows a short lived sand barrier.
