update - We assume we are near peak winds. No precise
measurements available - but it's blowin' so hard we are a tad
uncomfortable. Lunch was delightful - we served pasta Isabel.
We have
talked to many folks via telephone around the county - the word
is that this is worse than Hurricane Dennis. See the photos
below - water is VERY HIGH.

At
1pm it appears water is above the Treasure Company and
Bean floors. It appears it may be in the ground floor
of the Oriental Marina Motel.

All
sign of the Town Dock pilings are gone - they are well
