Looking outside, it really is the calm before the storm! Mandatory evacuations all around us, but so far no call for this area, except for those folks who live in low-lying areas. We're about 17 feet above mean-low-water so if the storm drainage system works we shouldn't have any problem with flooding. The prediction for 35-50 MPH winds has me concerned, a lot of trees in the neighborhood. The folks living closer to the Chesapeake Bay will probably get hit harder, but we've got about a 10 mile buffer.

Prayers go out to all those affected by the approaching storm. Be safe!
