Thread: Tropical Storm IDA! ! !

Geezzzzz! ! ! ! I just watched the weather report. You guys on the east coast are getting smacked much harder than we did......at least the ones of us that live several miles away from the coastline. They reported heavy flooding in Portsmouth Va. I guess just roll your pants legs up and it will be over soon. Good luck to ya Harry

I take it back, WOW! ole IDA got mix up with the wrong high pressure system. She sure giving ya'll more trouble than she gave us. Hang on guys. Hey Raleigh not all hurricanes move fast bro, Hvan set on top of us for about 8-10 hrs and thats more than you ever want. But I feel for ya'll now. Good Luck Guys, DQ

I made out OK, but I made it out of the boathouse with inches to spare. I would have hated to have done it without Mikey's help though!!

Garry, good deal. I just spoke to the Minister de Pollo over at the camp and he says the water is slightly up in the yard but going down now. No big deal in spite of the dire warning they are still giving out through tomorrow. The weather guessers need to look out the window now and then. UV

Harry- I am in slip C-5. As you pull in the marina it is on your left about 5 slips before Calypso's. It is actually my Dads slip but his boat has been being redone for almost 2 years and counting! DQ- They are calling for winds variable to 5kts out of the north this weekend and 75 deg F. -ANDY

Heading out to work this morning...still half asleep... I open the gate only to have ducks wading by...I didn't have a lake, pond, stream or river there yesterday. Did a double doube take... Winds coming directly into our Bay making for some real high tides,,,hence the ocean front property this morning.

We had about 2 feet above normal here - can't imagine what you guys are getting. I think the B-28 moves around more at the dock than my 24 foot sailboat did - and it had a 30 foot mast!

UV, The water was up about 3 feet at the house, little rain and some wind. Just for grins, I turned on the dock light and fished a little while. Caught 3 specks and called in quits. The fish should really turn on over the next dayor so as the water begins to fall. Garry

She is here now. Great. Thanks guys.
