Damn thing strengthened to 85mph winds (Cat. 2 ?) over ocean and moving at 22mph. If it stays on same track and speed, that would mean it will be centered over your area in about 10-hours (9AM-EST) but with high winds and heavy rain well before that.



CNN just said there could be 60mph winds as far north as New York City and beyond.

Mother Nature is having her way with us now on two fronts. Hunker down and be safe with both Isaias and COVID-19 storms! Best of luck and hopeful thoughts to you and all DU'ers in the storm's path.

so we were not affected by any high winds. I wish the folks further north all of the best. It is still early in the season and we are probably going to get a few more.

Looked like the Bahamas saved you again by taking lots of energy out of it.

We lost both cars in a previous one. Looking at relocating to Tennessee so the LOML can be closer to her daughter and grandson, she is up there on a scouting mission now.

I am not crazy about the redneck Tennessee people but she is 66 and would like to spend more time with her family so it is fine with me.

I'm a native Tennessean from middle TN but have been in KY since 1970. There's lots of great folks there if you find the right area and just tune-out the right-wing crap. Most will give you the shirt off their back once you get to know them. Folks from the mountainous areas are strong introverts and it takes longer to break the ice.

Most of TN was Democratic back in my day before the Rethug invasion. When my wife would make trips there to visit her seven siblings, they had an agreement to never discuss politics and all went well.
