It also looks like our family and friends in Richmond and the DC area are gonna get soaked and blown about a bit. Better them in their houses at ground level than Mrs. A at Angels35.
If you've ever lived on the East or Gulf Coasts, you've probably experienced a hurricane. Probably the most terrifying night of my life was when I was just six years old, and Hurricane Hazel roared 100 miles inland as a Category 4 storm in October 1954 and romped through Southern New Jersey. Shrieking winds at 100+ mph and pounding rains for hours, not considered normal for the region, electric out, huge trees knocked down. Pretty rough. I'll never forget watching out the kitchen window as Mrs. Watson's apple orchard next door went to the ground, one tree at a time.
