Today is a beautiful, sunny day in Charm City. You would never guess that Irene is only about 24 hours away and Annapolis, 30 miles south of us, is being evacuated.
The National Weather Service has put Baltimore under a Tropical Storm Warning. They are forecasting sustained winds of 30 to 40 miles per hour, gusting to up to 70. This is less than a category 1 hurricane that carries winds of 74 to 95 mph. Also in the forecast, eight inches of rain and storm surge--the greatest threat--of up to 12 feet. I guess there are some benefits to being on the 11th floor but right now we are looking at our Harbor view as more of a liability than when we moved in!
We are charging all our electronic devices so we can keep blogging as long as we have cell phone service.
