    Started raining here at the Jersey Shore at 1:00P Steadily increasing in intensity. Winds beginning to pick up. Problem here is timing. The peak of the storm and the 4-5' storm surge coincides with our scheduled high tides and the new moon cycle.

    Joel,

    I'll pass. The problem with buying 20 gallons of milk for a 2 person household is that 19 gallons will turn sour.

    Thanks anyway. :lol:
