They closed all the beaches after the storm. (typical) Keep in mind there was a hell of a lot of erosion BEFORE the storm. Norton point is history there is a 15' vertical wall of dirt dropping right off into the ocean in some places. It took out that pond and is working on the parking lot and a house near the air down lot.

Then, the storm hit. I am sure it made it worse. I probably will not go out there until next week. To be honest...the fishing from other places has been better this year and I see no reason to pay the ferry trip and be forced to leave at midnight.

OK...Here is YOUR chance to play weatherman... What will Katia do.


a) will it hit the lower 48 ?
b) if so where will the first landfall be?
c) will NE be effected, if so how bad?
d) how strong will it get at landfall.


Should we :

a) not worry
b) through an extra set of lines on
c) seek safe harbor and haul
d) evacuate and abandon everything

give me your best guess

Sounds like it will likely be pushed far southeast of the Vineyard.
I hope.
