Oh, I heartily agree! I said "the wife and children have decided," not me, not the authorities, and not Irene herself. But after 12,563 of marriage, I've learned not to argue about things that haven't happened yet.

Boy, oh boy, though AVG, you're going to have your hands full when that tidal surge pushes up the Chesapeake, not mention maybe 13-14 inches of rain. I like the idea of the marine battery for the sump pump. Smart idea.
