As we drove up Rt 12 with the other evacueeeeeeeees Rodrigo and I stopped and checked several places. Though it seemed smallyer up North the effect was still the same. Oceanic Chaos with many houses in danger already and it was only

Knee high mounds of that dirty spongy looking foam were everywhere already too.

Just back to Casa Foon and bracing for a dose in my local hood. The Bunker is as sound as I can make it. Local hype and hysteria suggests  Washington will get more wind and rain than OCMD/ hmmmm. Maybe we should have stayed.
