Good Morning Everyone,
I am more concerned this morning after reviewing the Hurricane Irene projections. The storm track has shifted more westerly and the speed is now 13mph and headed North West. This could easily be a strong CAT 2 or CAT 3 event for us.
I cannot stress the importance of being prepared for this one. We will be very lucky if the immediate coastal areas are spared from the wrath of Irene. It has the potential to be the most devastating Hurricane in several decades. I sincerely hope that this Hurricane misses us but I am less hopeful today than previously.
We have approximately 70 more vessels coming today and tomorrow. I know that people are going to be more apt to be a little frantic the last hours here and we will do everything we can to get you up and out of here as quickly as possible. We too need to finish tomorrow as soon as possible. Our crews have been working feverishly to assure your vessels safety and they will need to be home tomorrow evening preparing their property for the hurricane.
We plan on having a crew here at Jarrett Bay during the storm and will be inspecting jack stands etc. during the hurricane as the weather and safety permits. We actually go out in the storms and tighten stands that loosen due to winds and rain. Wish us luck.
We really appreciate your patience and patronage and we are truly privileged to have all of you as our customers and friends.
Thank you all very much.
