To all the east coast members and their families, hope you all are ok.

Shelter down be safe and hope all damage will be minimum and short lived.

It's slowly tracking west a degree or so, but will it continue for the next 4 days?
You're well overdue for a bullseye hit ARC
Prepare for the worse-hope for the best
Be safe
Get while the getting is good, makes no sense looking at tail lights in an interstate traffic jam.

I can only think of Leslie of Nova Scotia. I don’t know who else may be dealing with that mess. Prayers for all dealing with Fiona. I heard it brought snow.

Prayers for you all in the path of Ian.

I hope to do as good as the Egmont Key lighthouse keeper who put his family in a small boat, tied it off to a tall cabbage palm on the highest spot on the island that ended up floating as high as the palms still lashed to the trunk until water level as subsided.....that was in 1848, they were much tougher than we today
