Calm before the storm

Best of luck Scott. Our prayers are with you.

Lucked out! Earl was a dud...the storm tracked further east than originally anticipated and arrived on Cape as a tropical storm. The utility companies from all over the state had moved bucket truck teams into the area and the local mall parking lot looked liked there was a hundred trucks waiting for the storm. Cars were in line as gas stations and people were actually getting into fights at grocery stores. Since I could not get my boat pulled I spent the day preparing it for the storm and taking everything off of value. Spent the evening at a friends who has house on beach waiting for all hell to break loose. Finally went home around 11 (it was supposed to be blowing like crazy by 8) and called it a night. No trees down...no power outage...seemed more like a typical tropical storm. Today is beautiful and we are delighted not to be digging out from a flood.

PS. It would have been good excuse to see Brian and Vicky again!
