Calm Before the Storm

In advance of Irene, I went out to take some photos around the Broadneck area last night and again this morning. I have found not much is really going on, yet. 

Last night we walked down to the Cape Main Beach. Along the way we stopped by the Little Magothy Marinia (AKA "The Favorite Spot") where we found a fellow Cape neighbor doing what Capers do best, enjoying a great night on the Little Magothy. 

This morning, I grabbed the camera and went into Annapolis to see what was happening at the dock. First and foremost, Ego Alley is empty. I suppose the dock is closed under a mandate by the City of Annapolis. 

There were sand bags in front of some business but only one boarded up. As I was there, a dumptruck was dumping sand in preparation for more sandbag making throughout the day today. 

As for the weather, the wind has made its shift around to the North-Northeast, the clouds are thickening, and there were a few drops of rain on the windshield. Irene is knocking, stay safe everyone!
