Thar She Blows !!

There hasn't been a hurricane in Connecticut since "Gloria" in 1985. Scott & I moved here 3 weeks ago, just in time for Irene. Although Connecticut hasn't had a "hurricane" in 26yrs, it has endured the tail end of many hurricanes every year. So, now that it looks like Irene isnt veering out to sea we're all getting ready for a big storm that should hit Sun night/mon morning. Scott & I are in a well protected marina so we should be ok. Our friends say it can get rough, even in the marina but not unsafe. Another issue is flooding. It's a new moon so the tides were already expected to be 3ft higher than normal---befor the weather. We're tied to a floating dock so that should be ok too.. It's just a time of "hurry up & wait". We'll have to see what mother nature has in store for us. Promise to keep you all posted.
