Frankenstorm

How will the hurricane that is going to hit the east coast effect our fishing here in the Midwest? I think we will be caught in a giant low pressure area unless I am reading it wrong.

Storms typically move West to East this one will come inland for a ways and then hook northeast as all do. It should have no impact on us. The storm track shows it doing exactly that.

I got family back that way, so I'm following it. I hope it's quick. Also, kinda concerned how this may impact the election if they really do lose power for 10-14 days like they say they might.

Given how close the election is going to be that's a major concern, Jack.

As close as things are we could have 4 or 5 Florida type situations this time around and the last thing we need is confusion (especially since a likely outcome at this point is an electoral victory that contradicts the popular vote).

Most of the states in the storm path aren't in play, but Virginia, Pennsylvannia (sort of) and New Hampshire are at least statistically close.

I suspect both sides would argue disenfranchisement if the vote gets stunted. My main concern is that there's one candidate who would like to privatize federal disaster relief and do away with the FEMA. Might want to consider that before they vote up there.
