Margate, NJ Prepares for Hurricane Irene
Posted by: | Comments
Saturday, August 26, 2011 in Margate was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, warm weather and no wind. It was the perfect beach day. But as the expression states, it was the “calm before the storm.” Today it is overcast and starting the drizzle just a bit. The weather is changing. We have a mandatory evacuation and I will be leaving with my family shortly. We were lucky enough to be invited to stay with friends off shore.
Like the rest of Margate and other barrier islands across the East Coast, we moved everything outside indoors, tied down anything that can move with strong winds, moved valuables to higher levels in the house and will be taking our jewelry and cash with us and put plywood on our windows.
We pray for minimal damage to everyone affected by this storm. Be safe and we hope to be in touch with all of you after the storm.
