    We are far enough inland ( 170 mile drive to Va Beach ) that we will get passed by , just a little breezy and a few small showers later today. Isabel came through as a tropical storm and really tore things up in '03 so dont take it lightly. We were at the beach 2 years ago during a hurricane, by the time it reached Va Beach it was a tropical storm. We didnt get evacqed at all. We walked on the beach with 45 mph winds and it felt like your legs were being sandblasted. These things are no joke.

    I do.. It sucks. We have a lot of street flooding and fallen trees on powerlines. So, the power has been flickering all morning. I just checked on the girls, and they are still safe. Someone decided to squeeze between the wall and my WK. Some streets are closed down.

    Here are some more update pics.... Large tree adjacent to my neighborhood, is split in half all over the America's fallen ... I'll probably help with cleanup on that.



    Here is some debris in the street - this is all taken with my Droid and zoomed in. So I apologize for the crappy images. My girls are still safe, thank God.



    Going to take some river images later with my HD camera. But I'll have to put it in a ziploc so the images may not be as good as i'd like, but they'll be better than my droid

    The wind is starting to pick up a little bit here. Been raining for a few hours now. Nothing to write home about though.

    Rain got pretty heavy here... but no wind yet.

    Seeing that pic of the fallen tree made my gut drop a bit. Reminded me of the storm that nailed my neghborhood a few weeks back and took down ~10 huge trees like that. I picked up a new chain, bar and sprocket on Thursday for my saw... hoping I don't have to use it, but there's 3 trees on my front curb line that I think are going bye bye with this storm (and taking the power lines with them)
