[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if Lee decides to come straight at us and make landfall on the Eastern Shore (I haven't seen any models showing this but things could change), the DMV is inland enough that we'll get a storm, not a hurricane.  [/quote]

The PP is right.  This is from Isabel's wiki page:

"In Washington, D.C., sustained winds remained below tropical storm force, though gusts reached 71 miles per hour (114 km/h) as recorded by the National Academy of Science.[1] Hurricane-force winds existed several hundred feet in the air, with wind sensors on the top of tall buildings recording winds of 70 to 85 miles per hour (113 to 137 km/h). Rainfall was minimal, amounting to around two inches across the district. A gauge on Wisconsin Avenue recorded a storm surge of 11.3 feet (3.4 m), and a gauge on a pier in the southwest portion of the district recorded a storm surge of 10.25 feet (3.12 m). Both observations were records, surpassing the previous observation set by the 1933 Chesapeake Potomac Hurricane.[8]"[/quote]
