[Public-List] South Mills, NC

[Robert Alley]

I drove north from North Carolina on Saturday, through building gusts 
 >20 mph, running out of them at about the Virginia line. Calvert county 
has recommended voluntary evacuations of dwellings within 100 feet of 
Calvert Cliffs and all areas prone to flooding; Broomes Island (on the 
Patuxent) is flooding now.  I already have a tree down in my back yard.

Best to you at South Mills. Stay safe.
