Ernesto's winds are starting to blow through Southern Maryland

[bertha katzenengel]

aaaahhhhhh . . .

Will Ernesto pass through your neck of the woods?

[bluethruandthru]

1. Keeping my fingers crossed

that Ernie brings us some rain! It's really dry here in MoCo MD.

[bertha katzenengel]

4. Greetings from the South

Hi, neighbor :hi:

[bluethruandthru]

13. Howdy right back Bertha!

from a fellow Marylander and cat lover!

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

18. Meow!

:bounce:

2. Will he be gone by tomorrow afternoon?

I'm flying into BWI, and I'm a tad :scared: about it.

[bertha katzenengel]

5. Ooh, I don't know, D. . . .

Keep a close eye on your airline's website - start early. Our forcast says

tomorrow day: "Rain. Isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. Rain may be heavy at times. Breezy with highs in the upper 60s. Northeast winds 20 to 30 mph."

tomorrow night: "Rain...may be heavy at times in the evening. Lows in the lower 60s. Northeast winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 40 mph."

If it's really rough, they'll be safe. You'll be inconvenienced, but not in scary barfy turbulence. :hug:

[GOPisEvil]

8. Well...I leave HERE a little before 10.

I'm landing THERE around 4. I'm guessing there might be some delays, but I'll get there. Eventually. Thanks.

[bertha katzenengel]

9. try to enjoy the day

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

14. Any day without work is a good day.

:7

I'm all set for dining in Little Italy on the way home. It's gonna be just fine! :bounce:

[bluethruandthru]

27. Sabatinos?

Bookmaker's Salad...yum!

[GOPisEvil]

32. I dunno.

I'm not picking the place. I'm relying on a local.

3. I'm in central NC with parents on the southern NC coast.

It's been rainy and somewhat windy here but my folks have really heard the wind howl and felt the gusts and they lost power (but it just came back on for them).

I'll be glad when Ernesto has blown itself out.

6. Has it left your folks' area yet?

keeping best thoughts

[Lex]

10. No, the eyewall just came ashore south of Wilmington NC

about an hour ago. It will not be fully out of NC until tomorrow morning, or so the weatherman says.

[bertha katzenengel]

17. ay-yee....

keeping LOTS of strong good thoughts for your folks and all eastern NC'ers.

It's fucking up my Labor Day weekend

I'm not even bothering to go up to CT because it's expected to be in the 60s, rainy, windy, with high seas. So basically, there's no point in me driving pretty much to RI to sit in a cold, damp cabin without cable or internet. The beach we go to will pretty much be gone anyway in the storm. It's just a sand bar island.

[bertha katzenengel]

19. bummer, haruka

plus you have a cold - what a lousy way to spend a long weekend. :hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. Yup.

I'm hoping that next weekend will be nice and pretty warm, so I can head up there then. I'll probably head up there fishing a few times before the winter, but I really want one more beach weekend.

[Reverend_Smitty]

29. Ruining mine too

I plan on going down the shore...oh well there's always alcohol

[Jamastiene]

7. Here now, but sorta off to the east of here really.

I'm under the "F" in Fayetteville.

Here is a current map:
?par

:scared:

[Lex]

11. Hi from Durham.

Take care. :pals:

[Jamastiene]

15. You take care too.

I saw a little of WRAL's newscast at 6 and the flooding up there last time around in your area was pretty rough.

Keep nice and dry up there.:pals:

[bertha katzenengel]

24. hoo, boy

:hug:

[Jamastiene]

26. Hoping for the best.

So far so good. :hug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. We're feeling them here near College Park, too...

I've got the windows open, and am enjoying the breeze until the rain starts. :hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

20. College Park . . . I keep forgetting.

DUH! I think a party at Chez Katz is brewing before year's end.

I have a good friend who lives in CP, too.

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. That would be cool!

I'll bring beer! :toast:

[bertha katzenengel]

31. hmm . . . wonder if it's too late to have a beer . . .

could be my snack (was gonna skip it, but . . . beer . . .)

nah.

:toast:

[lost-in-nj]

16. It's coming here

we are suppossed to go to a big BBQ on Sat. but the weather is gonna suck!

They were going to have a big Ice sculptre that was going to have liquor pouring on it so we could "taste" it
coming off the ice thingy

:)

[bertha katzenengel]

21. ooh, that sounds particularly luscious

:9

[texanwitch]

22. I am watching the Weather Channel.

Coming from Houston I know about storms.

All of ya'll in Ernesto's reach take care.

:grouphug:

[Jamastiene]

23. Thank you. I'm still hoping the worst stays to the east of us.

So far so good. :hug:

[texanwitch]

33. I remember waiting last year for Rita to come, it was very

strange in Houston.

I took a last walk around the neighborhood taking pictures, later that night Rita turned east.

We still had wind and a little rain but nothing bad, I felt sorry for the folks trapped on I-10 by my house.

I had a house full of people staying over, 26 people, 5 cats, 7 dogs.

[Flaxbee]

28. I'm in far, far, faarrr west NC and it started to rain early

this morning about 4am, didn't stop until about an hour ago. I think we'll still get some smatterings of rain, but hopefully it won't be gray all day tomorrow.

No wind, though. Too far west. But enjoy the breeze and the rain in MD!

[NMMNG]

34. I'm feeling them up here in my neck of the woods too

Central MD, that is.
