I am deeply concerned over the impact that this storm will have on the Conowingo Dam and the Bald Eagles. Many eagles have just arrived from the north. On my last visit, there were close to 100. I easily counted 50 white heads (adults) sitting on the rocks,about 2700 feet across the river. The tremendous flow of water that will be going through the dam, for some time, will disrupt the Bald Eagles. They most likely will leave and search for their food elsewhere. Actually, one had started to already rebuild their nest in one of the towers.

They are closing the Tydings Memorial Bridge (I-95) that crosses the Susquehanna River, just south of the Conowingo Dam. That bridge has never been closed before today. We still have electricity but I anticipate losing it over night. The winds are really starting to pick up.

Pelle, if you read this, please take care. New Jersey will get hammered around 6 p.m. The center path is supposed to pass about 50 miles north of me but one never knows with these storms. They have a mind of their own. This storm is 800 miles wide and also dumping several feet of snow just to the west in West Virginia. Very odd ..........
