Monday, September 15, 2003Here Comes the 'Canes Keep your eye on this one: Current Projected Paths National Weather Service Statement Get some candles, get some batteries for a portable radio, find a deck of cards, stay home on Friday and have yourselves a hurricane party. The last major hurricane that I can remember hitting the Fredericksburg area with any real force was Hurricane Hugo back in 1989. Sure it got us out of school for a couple of days, but with winds gusting at about 60mph it wasn't all that bad for folks inland. Now I do remember stories from some of the older folks in town about Hurricane Camille. That put Downtown Fredericksburg under 10 feet of water, and it was on the backside of the Shenandoah coming in. Now it seems as if Hurricane Isabel is going to come right up the Chesapeake Bay, getting us from the front, sides, and at the Shendandoah. The last major flood of recent memory was the 1995 storm that dumped 10 inches of rain in Madison County, effectively flooding the Rappahannock Watershed. This storm will bring a swell all the way up to the fall line, dump 4-5 inches of rain in the area, plus dump just as much rain further north. Hang on to your britches, this one's could get real bad before everything is said and done. Keep your eye on Kenmore Avenue. . . this is the once-every-100-year storm that the planners were telling us about concerning the flooding.
