Last year during one of the heavy rain storms, I recall there being a lot of cars on the road and many got stranded. We also had a relative who was swept away and killed in her car years ago by trying to drive across what she thought was a shallow flooded area by Oyster Pond. Stay safe, everyone! Prayers going out to all.

I'm not seeing that, the latest NOAA forecast shows it heading on track for Puerto Rico and on into the Bahamas, the Northerly shift they called for earlier never happened and now seems to be on a mostly Westerly track Link to 'Sophisticated Lady' BoatCam!
