[Scan-DC] State of Emergency in Virginia

Thu Nov 12 17:02:47 EST 2009

Wow, I need to get my head out of the sand... had no idea it was that bad!

Mike, hope all remains well, good luck.

I think if I lived on the water like that, I'd have binoculars glued to the surf all the time during a storm like that.  I've been going to Ocean City MD a lot in recent years, a buddy has a condo there, but will have to try the NC beaches sometime soon.

Hope everyone makes it through the storm OK.

Doug
