That's an often seen track for Hurricanes. Once it gets in the groove it just rides the coast , still s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g energy from the water but beating the heck out of the whole coast line.

Lets hope it goes East!

still trending west, about 60 pct of the models have been updated to the 0800 EDT run

the 40N-70W benchmark is significant bellwether. We are going to get some weatha , how much. we'll find out tomorrow.

Hope it is over by Saturday night. One of the biggest bluefish tournaments in New england is here on Cape Ann with over 600 fishermen on Sunday. We have the Lanesville Bluefish Tournament on Sunday of labor day weekend.

Any room on the boat? That's a good money tourney that even a chump like me could win if the right Bluefish runs into my lure. Then again there could be only a few boats out there and a shore fish may take the prize...

The blues still here since the last storm? Did see a guy on Channel 7 with one grinning like an idiot in the story about a guy losing his life...

Yeah, i wonder, will the tourney still be on with the hurricane coming through?

Mr. Sandman · 09-01-2010, 01:17 PM

The good news is that:

a) the storm is moving fast but the time it gets up here and we should not have any intense winds for long durations.

b) the fact that we are on the downwind side and the storm is advancing fast, the peak wind will be lower.

Unless this makes a move to the west (which is unlikely with the big front moving thru) we should be OK ...yes there will be trees down and power outages but again I think the good news is that it is outtahere fast.

I took my outriggers off and dropped antennas, removed all canvas and cushions outside...tomorrow will put it on a mooring in tashmoo and double up on the line and make sure there is a good chafe protection and keep my fingers crossed.

So was Bob, and Carol. I was only a year old when Carol hit the cape, but I've seen the pictures. And I remember good old Bob very well. Comm Electric had a 100% customer power outage--some for as long as 10 days. Thousands of downed trees, boats blown on shore. And that sucker hit us at low tide.

Believe me--110 to 120 mph sustained winds can cause plenty of damage, as can a 10' or greater storm surge.

200 pm runs show it moving more easterly, good alignment with most models, should see this more in the next few runs
