East Coast Bracing for Joaquin

Lots of rain on the eastern seaboard....  Flooding in low areas.   It's been said that Hurricane Joaquin could do more flood damage than the Ash Wednesday storm of 1962.  That was horrendous on Chincoteague and Assateague Islands.   I don't really wish a hurricane on anyone, but I hope that my two lovely islands escape the worst of it's winds and rain!
