OMG! I hope nobody was home in the house that roof hit. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this morning that parts of Delaware and Maryland were evacuated. All I kept thinking was, sure, now that we are moving to Delaware, they are evacuating. Hope everyone made it through ok.

Delly, your funny I think I heard her say she is ok.
That water was coming up fast........and it wasn't high tide........I'm afraid to even call and ask, where the water is now. At least this didn't come with tornados, but.......gosh the winds were very strong. Quite scarey.
Don't think I'd be on the ferry today........I'm sure they must of parked it

We just came through Dover, and there are some huge trees down on State Street, along with electrical wires. Water Street, in Dover, is under water.....Wouldn't you guess? There's some flooding on New Burton Road, and a couple of accidents. Some manufactured homes near Forest Avenue partially blew off their foundations. Hope you people in flood areas are doing o.k. ...... but I hear the electric is out in thousands of properties. Summering....your sister has electric at Pot Nets?? Tomorrow, I have to work from one end of the state to the other, so I'll see all 3 counties.

We never lost power and we are past Pot Nets at the end of long neck. The water has receded. It is below the dock now. As long as the wind doesn't pick up again, that should be the end of it.
