There's a bunch of shelters opening up locally now, and I live a quarter mile from the Delaware river... About 250 ft from my house, not even, (behind the guy across the street to the right) is a bunch of swamps.. I have to drain my basement the whole time. I'm thinking of talking my parents into leaving and I'll go to my girlfriend's if we lose power because there would be really no reason for us to stay at that point, plus she has a 2nd story condo lol.
There's a cracked levee in the delaware right near my grandpa's house. If it breaks he'll get flooded, like completely. He tied a canoe to his porch so if it happens he can just sail away hahaha.
Looks like it'll be a category one when it hits us. But even at that, not many storms become a category at all.
