Reply #23: I've been through many storms in New England [View All]

I'm in the mountains in western Maine now and I don't expect Isabel to be a big problem here other than power probably going out. Being on the coast is obviously the scary place to be. I lived down the Cape during a few storms and my husband still gets angry with me (we really laugh) when we remember trying to put another anchor on our boat in the harbor prior to one hurricane.

I think you've got the right idea...have supplies in and be prepared to sit it out. Winds and flooding should be the biggies and I'm not sure flooding will be a problem for you.

Now, all that said, listen to the weather and the "locals". See what they say. But I'm sure you know all that. :)

Good luck. If this storm stays as big as it is and hits land there's going to be some major damage somewhere.
