Mornin'! It's 61° in the Woods. It's cloudy and quiet except for the roar of the ocean 6 blocks away. We've begun the calm before the storm. There's some apprehension and readiness in the sea air as the island's facing yet another major storm. Whether we'll take a direct hit is still uncertain but we're going to take a hit. Today will be mild with temps reaching the high 60's/low 70's. We'll have a mix of sun and some clouds today. Breezes from the East at 10mph. As the end of today nears, so does the thicker clouds. Tomorrow...a day of emergency management as it'll be much like today but with canvas awnings being removed as well as anything that can move outside will become removed, hunkered down and secured. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday...no one seems to know exactly what's going to happen, but something will...as this rare, complex, atmospheric setup involving Hurricane Sandy and a huge, intense coldfront coming from the West will converge over the mid-atlantic states with a Full Harvest Moon thrown in the mix for good measure. Wildwood's in for some intense sandblasting and flooding beginning Sunday. For today...the calm before the "Perfect Storm"...their words; not mine.

Last time I was in 2 emergency shelters in Phila. Hunker down this time, maybe? We'll see.
Doesn't sound like you are as concerned as last year. I'm following your reports.
There is always our house if you need to get out of there!
Hope you don't have to get out like last year. Maybe it is just the media making it more than it is.
