We still have a few hours until Sandy gets to its closet point to the Chesapeake Bay. Winds so far are in the 30's with gusts to 50 kts.
The rain is in bands and is pretty strong. Amazingly, we still have power here in Oyster Harbor. The worst is yet to come. Probably between 4pm and 2am. We are watching a strong band heading our way that will be here about 4.
Here is a view from the cockpit of the boat.
The new mooring is getting a good test. Our old one was great, but was 11 years old and the chain was near the end of its life. This one is a 400lb mushroom with 30' of chain.
A view from the dink. The rain can really hurt. It reminded me of the fun we had during Hurricane Irene.

I'll try to get some more video. Hopefully the worst will pass before it gets dark - but probably not.
