Thanks Mary Lou for the update. The kind of winds you are expecting will  
certainly take out power lines. Glad you and Fred have a generator and a 
camper  to stay in. Be safe.

Hi  Rummy. Thanks for your good wishes. We're in pretty good shape  now.

Everything battened down. Boat and travel trailer out from under  the 
trees. Batteries charged and travel trailer water tank full.

We  have a generator and MIFI Internet service so as long as the cell 
tower is  functioning and not overloaded we may have Internet access.

Current  conditions:
Heavy rain - a couple of inches so far.
Wind at Tolchester  Beach (near us on the Ches. Bay) 24 gusting to 31
Wind at Francis Scott Key  Bridge (near Baltimore other side of the 
Bay)  20 gusting to  22

I posted some links for storm watchers to the Trailer Sailor  Bulletin  
Board
http://bbs.trailersailor.com/forums/trailersailor/index.cgi/read/848512

They  are predicting 40 to 60 mph sustained and gusts to 75 here. 
That's an  increase over what they were forecast last night.

We are fairly certain  power will be out and it could be out for days.

6-8" of rain though we  shouldn't have much trouble with that. More 
worried about the  wind.

Stay safe everyone
Mary Lou
