\"Nor'easter<\/a> That means that we are here and made it safely.  <\/p>\n

Here is Chincoteague.<\/p>\n

A friend called us when we were in Pennsylvania and warned us about the severity of this storm.   It is a nor’easter and it is a doozey!<\/p>\n

It was 10 AM when she called and said the storm, plus the high tide was going to make it hard to get onto the island today.  In fact, she said that they were going to close the causeway in the afternoon.  High tide was at 4:00 PM and we raced all the way here to get here by 3:15- and we were just about the last  car to make it across before the causeway was closed.<\/p>\n

The water was really high.  The waves were washing over the road and the wind was wild, and the rain was pelting down so hard that our visibility was bad.<\/p>\n

We didn’t stop for lunch or potty breaks.  We got gas and got back on the road within 8 minutes.  And Allyson drove heroically!   The water is still rising in the parking lot- the streets are impassible.  But we are in our hotel room and the rain is pelting against the window and we are safe, slightly frazzled and damp, but safe.<\/p>\n
