    Calm before the storm

    Earl arrives here on Cape Cod around 8 PM as a cat 2. Last one was hurricane Bob and having the VX allowed me to get out check the damage of which there was plenty. Over 150 boats were grounded on the shore line due to the storm surge that lifted their moorings out of the mud. My boat was one of them and today it could happen again. Dread....

    I guess Earl's about 140 miles directly offshore of us right now. What a bunch of hub-bub for nothing. It's not even really drizzling outside right now, more like a heavy mist, and the winds are no more than 15-20 mph. So I guess he's holding his punch for you guys.

    You can always come visit us until it blows over. We're way up north, here in Hyde Park.

    Kidding, I grew up in South Louisiana so I know hurricane's and how scary they can be. Stay safe.
