Nevermind, not going to bed

I don't like how fast the water is rising, so I'm going to stay up and watch it. At 5:00am EDT, based on forecast guidance, plus adding in the 0.9 feet we are above it, my evacuation route could be under 1 foot of water, more maybe depending on rain that couldn't drain.

The rain bands could be setting up at the mouth of the bay which is going to push more water in. It might be a temporary increase in the water level above the unofficial guidance, but can't know for sure.
