Not to be a worry wart but I took the Cig for a spin today. When I pulled it out of the water about 5PM I looked towards the river and saw 2 of the Cape May Lewis ferries going by. They were up the river about 70 miles north of their home. Never heard of them running up the river for shelter before.

One thing I know about hurricanes is that the tidal surge can always be VERY localized; massive swings within a couple miles.
I have lines drawn on the wall in my garage from Isabel, Irene, and several nor-easters. As those lines relate to the local "reports of tidal surge" are all completely obscure. I'm at the southern tip of the bay, the water is in the yard (11:10 PM on Saturday), we're 2.5 hours off high tide, and it doesn't seem to be retreating. I don't think it's going to be bad for us, but I am glad we don't live further north......
Ice Maker is still working, we still have power, and I can syphon 200 gallons out of the boat for the generator if needed!!!

If anyone is in a bind to have a place to put their boat in the mid delaware area I have a farm just north of Harrington DE just off of RT13. 5000' driveway without trees.

Best of luck guys. I think I'm ready but must urge people to heed the warnings. If your told to evacuate, then do it. None of us want to leave our stuff but its a must. No point in putting first responders in harms way due to your foolishness. Material items can be replaced and homes rebuilt but its much harder to replace a family member.
One the lighter side of things, the pending storm seems to have people getting their stuff out early. Even saw a really nice 35' stepped go fast on rt 10 in Randolph last night. It's rare to see higher end boats by me.

At first they looked like sheds to me. Once I saw everything that was in them it was more like a little cottage. Refrigerator , mini kitchen and a shower.
These are lined up on the beach at a Private Beach Club.
