I'm on the edge, Gnu, but I've been thinking of you. I live 30 miles inland now, but grew up on the Massachusetts coast. I remember losing our electricity for two weeks in the mid-fifties. I'll never cook on an electric stove thanks to that memory. And when they start all the dire warnings, my first move is to fill the bathtub, since our city water ultimately depends on electric pumps that wouldn't survive a long outage. How high will the tidal bore get with a storm surge? I remember a 6-inch ripple that didn't impress me much when I was a kid.
