Cruise ship from Boston supposed to head to Bermuda diverted to Halifax and other Maritime ports.
Good thing they're mostly hardy New Englanders rather than Nancy Boys from way down south. It was 7 degrees C when I got up yesterday morning.

We were docked next to that boat yesterday. All of the passengers
seemed happy and well adjusted. They were headed for Sydney last
night as we were leaving for Boston. Sydney was a nice stop for us
two days ago, as was Halifax yesterday. The Maritime Museum was very
impressive. Had lunch at Murphy's out on the pier - not so
impressive.


I'd be looking for a safe harbor to hole up in for a few days if I
were you.

I imagine Flo will just be a lot of rain by the time it gets out of
the Carolinas. If it smacks into the mountains that will take a lot
out of it. Worst case is an early turn north, skipping up the coast.
That does not seem to be what NHC is saying tho. They have it going
straight in, somewhere between Savanna and Norfolk.
If that leans toward Norfolk it will be bad for all of those Virginia
and Southern Maryland folks, particularly close to the water. They
already have a high tide over their docks before the storm is even
close, Several feet more surge and a lot of people will be wet.


It's been raining here so much that the first two blocks up the river in
Old Town, Alexandria, are already under water. That area floods easily
and frequently, but with more "deluge" on the way, it doesn't look good.
Our local propane delivery company topped up our 500-gallon tank today.

That is probably really 400 gallons (they only fill to 80%). What is
your burn rate? I think my BIL said he was burning close to 3 gal per
hour with his Generac.
