       ***  Were a month past the peak and the chances decline everyday. I'm 
of the mind that this early fall pattern that set up the huge trough and 
dipping jet stream over the continent sort of increases the chances for a 
late-season cyclone. October is the time that the SW Caribbean sea's latent heat 
creates storms that drift north towards Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. The Cape 
Verde season is shutting down with unfavorable atmospherics hampering formation 
conditions.

        DC didn't come anywhere near a serious shoreline hurricane eyewall 
impact. The problem is mostly trees falling on powerlines. The AT probably 
needed a bunch of trimming like it did after Floyd. I had to clear a section in 
Harriman with tangled hemlock tops after Floyd. There was a 1/4 mile section that 
took a full afternoon. He also smashed a new bridge I had built that we had 
to then rebuild. I suppose Virginia through Pennsylvania were affected 
similarly...

           We would just have to get out if one came here. We are 400 yards 
from the Gulf at 4 feet elevation...
