Tropical Storm Ernesto

I've decided to blog about tropical storm Ernesto because it appears it will be an event for us. Just to review, our house is only 2 ft above the high-tide mark of the Magothy River. There was 6 ft of water in what is now our living room when hurricane Isabelle hit. We get our highest tides when water is blown up the Bay and to the west. The highest tide we've seen since we've been here came during a January storm, and reached well into our driveway. We get the highest water when low pressure systems move south of us. As of now, 12:52 AM on Thursday night, we're very close to that mark. Winds are sustained from the East/Northeast at about 25 mph gusting to 35mph. Ernesto has recently made landfall on the North Carolina and has taken a turn further east than expected as it makes it's way in our direction. -S
