i just found out about this storm today. i usually pay close attention to the weather but since all of my gardening is done for the year i haven't. this gets me kinda nervous, not so much for the wind but for the rain. our property backs up to the manasquan river, and last year with irene it was pretty fuckin close. a few hours more of rain and we would've been fucked. wait and see i guess as these models change almost daily. i hope the landfall happens way farther up the coast near maine as the extra time over cool water will further weaken the storm, not to mention there are FAR less people up there!
