… in UD‘s sister’s apartment in Germantown, Maryland. I’m one floor up. UD‘s Garrett Park house lies at the bottom of a big hill.
My only companion at the moment is Shadow, a black cat.
UD‘s beloved Rehoboth Beach looks as though it might be exactly where the storm makes landfall. Her friends the Elkins were there for the Sea Witch Festival. They emailed her about it after they came back to Washington.
We could hear the wind howling and see the waves getting rather too close to the boardwalk for comfort. We read after we got back to DC that there was mandatory evacuation for Rehoboth and the beach was flooded. I dread to hear what’s been happening since.
Mr UD remains in Garrett Park, having decided to go down with the ship.

Update: Local Delaware reporting:
The winds could exasperate flooding along the coast.

Well, winds and flooding absolutely exasperates me.
