Boy, that's just what I was hoping to read just before a hurricane. My 92-year-old next-door neighbor lady says that the water comes up our street during big blows, but has never reached our house. (she's out there right now digging a ditch around her garage LOL - you would not believe this woman) The whole town is only ten feet above sea level, but it's weathered a lot of big storms in the last 100 years, and we'll get through this one. Let 'er rip!
