Looks like the Obama's caught a lucky break. Their mansion is sitting 9-10 feet above sea level, located on a south facing bay on Martha's Vineyard. Could easily be wiped out from the storm surge - worst possible location.

Dear Lord,

DIRECT HIT MARTHA’s VINEYARD

I have come to believe when this man says lookout, we should listen.

I have the highest respect for Joe Bastardi - His background, experience and conservative prognostications are the generally 90 to 95 % correct (after all the data is analyzed by his peers - after the fact)
I have posted this for the sceptics; hopefully you are not living in the path of this storm.

In my view, as a former "spear point' analyst for the US Government for 25 years, take all precautions indicated for HENRI; You ARE living in a physical terrane, which magnifies the intensity of storms, CAT 1 impact is 2.0 - 3 effect, streams turn into rivers, valleys turn into fiords, rivers 2x their boundaries...why.... because you terrain is hilly to mountainous; no place to dissipate the raw energy of nature, that comes down upon you.

Please heed the warnings and directions of the State Governors and your State SEMAs.

May God be with you all, may you and your families be preserved...Amen

#9  Henri is the storm we have feared for decades

Despite the dramatic headline, Joe Bastardi is the real deal when it comes to weather forecasting.
tl;dr: Normally, New England is where storms go to die, but this time, the water temps off the coast are high which means the storm will spin up like one entering the Gulf of Mexico

#8  Henri is the storm we have feared for decades

Quote from Joe Bastardi the bread and circus of the media and politics is ignoring what may be a dominating story by Monday morning.

#4  If you live near the Atlanic /Gulf coast, at some point you're going to have a tropical storm /hurricane.
If you live near water, at some point that water's going to come up.
Can't ever happen, always does.
