Huge storm coming! Anyone one have any driving advice besides " dont do it."

The dude earlier taken his jetski out.

 

Friend of mine from when I lived next door to him in NJ said his neighbor was out moving the autumn leaves into a pile before the storm......


lol

 

At least he has a helmet on.

 

edit: wrong thread...sorry

 

Ya, I too will be in upper marlboro, maryland. rite at 9am....hope all is good for me....keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Anybody heading to the coast from MD to Northern MA better rethink there trip. Most coastal towns have bin evacutaed and businesses closed and boarded up untill the storm passee. Schools have bin closed and most municapalities are only wanting key personal to come to work. I would rather waite it out where i know i'am safe than getting stuck in flood waters. In CT where i live there saying the flooding could be as bad or worse than the hurrican of 1938 which was a record storm and still is to this date. There talking 6 to 11ft storm surge.

 

Welp, I'm sitting at the receiver in Chestertown, MD. Very easy drive over. Moderate winds, steady rain. The locals seem nonplussed.

Broker can't get hold of the receiver, but their last word to him on Saturday was that they wanted this load here on Monday. It's here. If nobody shows at the receiver in the morning, you can be sure that someone is going to be paying one heck of a detention / layover bill.

And yeah, I've got food and drinks to last a week, and 260 gallons of fuel. I'm good.

 

Whoa.

If I'm gonna take heat for using the word "whilst", I can NOT let "nonplussed" slip by!

Very good, windy!

 

i am suppose to pick up tuesday at chemical plant there if i can get this unloaded any time soon here in staten island
