    I fueled up the taco and jeep last night. Also made a stop at Shoprite round about 2am. Shelves were empty and employees looked taxed. One told me people were screaming at them because they didn't have batteries or water.

    Just like anything doesn't it make sense to just have some water and dry food on the side so you don't have to kill yourself when things like this happen?

    School has also been cancelled for Monday and Tuesday.

    Good luck everyone.

    I left OC MD this morning and the water on the bay side was up about 4' and ready to come over the tops of the docks.

    Looks like a heads on strike is forecast for my town in NJ so far. I have zero issues of flooding due to our elevation being South Jerseys highest.

    Our governor was on TV for over a half hour advising people to take caution and be prepared even though most won't.

    After she says "Hi" to you, she's supposed to stop by my place. :rain:

    My mom was texting me on the way back trying to get me to buy a generator. I don't think she realized where I was coming from...
