We are in Vermont ; they are showing it OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA with high surf at the atlantic coast.
However, our local Vermont daily newspaper as well as our t.v. and radio is warning all Vermonters for a "possible repeat" of what happened last August and last October..........first being IRENE the hurricane that devastated Vermont and the Schoharie Valley of New York state with flooding, destroyed bridges and roads, etc., saw homes, barns, horses and cows floating down rivers....................plus the October snow and ice storm that knocked out power in Connecticut and Massachusetts, etc., etc. for a week or more........
We had taken off from Albany Airport in N.Y. to fly to Orlando last October with snow cover on the ground; the pilot had to de ice the wings twice before takeoff............but it wasn't until a day or so later that we began to hear from people in THE VILLAGES about their families back home in Connecticut, and New England still without power, etc.......
I hope it goes out to sea...........but that would be like the Perfect Storm when that fishing boat sank in 1991?????
Up here a major cold front is supposed to meet up with the hurricane.
New Jersey will be affected as well as Vermont and other states........
My guess is TV will be safe and sound............unless something changes.
