Tracking Irene: Wundermap

Came across a cool visualization tool at WeatherUnderground. It displays not only the current hurricane track forecast, but also wind radius, various model tracks and storm surge forecast. It can be a little slow to refresh, so be patient after you change options on the right-hand side control panel.

Glad I do not have to make that call. In so many cases, storm surge brings boats above the pilings then down on them hard. My preference would be to find a canal somewhere and tie in dead-center. I like to think my anchoring skills are good, but would not want to have to prove them (and my ground tackle) in a 100+ knot blow.

I am putting my boat on the trailer and tie it down to 2 vehicles with blocks under the trailer.
