Default Hurrican Sandy going to hit NJ.......

My boat is down on the Jersey shore, it usually sits on a hydrohoist lift. I went down to get it and bring it home to PA but a brake line blew out on my truck. I did manage to get it on the trailer and in front of the house. The house sits in a lagoon community. What could happen to it sitting on the trailer? Do you guys think it will be ok?

I'm a little worried myself. They're saying its not going to just push through.... its going to stay and crawl through for at least a day or two. Also, we have a moontide on monday.... looks like its spelling diasaster. Wish my dock guy could've taken it away this week..................................ugh!

This was my town during irene.

It's looking like Sandy will be parking right over my cathouse . They are saying this has the chance to be a history making catastrophic storm , oh no . Anyone ever heard of the great Johnstown flood ? 1977 was the last one and i'd rather not go through that again . Artie , if you can make it so can i . Times of danger make me feel alive . My friends in N.J. and N.Y. watch your azzes , scientists are saying this may be worse than the perfect storm that sank the Andria Gail . We again have three converging storms . Governor has declared a disaster emergency .

Get a friend with a truck and go back and get it! I wouldn't take that chance!
