Thanks guys

 

[jundland]

We're headed there in May as well. I'm hoping the heat and crowds will both be low.

We usually go in May and manage pretty well, it is busy but not like summer.

We check in on the 27th leave on the 3rd.

So it looks like the 2009 nor'easter is finally losing steam and is heading out to sea. Good thing I didn't put out any Christmas decorations yet! They would have been blown all the way to WDW Seriously though... I think we got hit harder with this storm than we did with Hurricane Isabel back in 2003. Took on almost 10 inches of water within 3 days... and wind gusts over 70mph... I thank God for sparing us from any damage.

Glad to hear you are all okay, how did the rest of your area hold up. Funny for us we have had some pretty nice weather here in Southern Ontario, not hot but not bitterly cold and no sn#@ yet.(yes that is a bad word with me)

Take care.

Well... it seems most of the area did ok... there were a few places that have flood water rise enough to invade property. And there was a pier in our area that got chopped in half by the waves. But in all, I'd say everyone came through as well as could be expected. I do know this... if we ever get another hurricane our way, I'm getting the family out of the area. Those constant winds are nerve-wracking!

LOL... we don't have to worry so much about that four letter word...

Just got back yesterday from the cruise! We had a good time, in spite of rough seas and the dreaded presence of the in-laws!

I'll put up a few pictures on facebook, and if I can figure out how to do pictures here, maybe a trip report will be forthcoming...

Man, that went quick.

I'm sure there was enough room on the boat to hide from them. It may have to be in engine room, but at least you can get some peace and quiet in there!

Welcome back!

I hear ya, when we moved down here in 2002 and Isabel was our first experience with a hurricane. For some reason the rain didn't really surprise me, it was the wind. It's one thing to have a 20 minute thunderstorm with a 60 mile an hour wind gust, it's quite another to have it sustained above 50 mph for hours on end.

Not real close... it's about a 20 minute ride to the beach. We are far enough away to not be affected by tidal surges.

Yes... Isabel was an eye opener for us, too. Those sustained winds are mind-blowing. I just can't even imagine being in a hurricane above a category 1...

Glad you're OK too. I know what you mean about how these non-hurricanes can seem just as bad or worse than the "big" ones sometimes. Living in South Florida, we've had our share over the years...

We saw scenes from VA Beach on the news. Glad to hear you guys are OK!

Welcome back, Captain!

Hey Fed ~ You're really getting short now!

We're booked for the 23rd - 30th. Maybe we'll see you there!
Hey, I see you're from the Natural State also! Do y'all drive down or fly?
