Talbot, Caroline now under Hurricane Warning
Talbot and Caroline counties on Maryland's Eastern Shore have been added to the Hurricane Warning zone. All counties farther south on the Maryland portion of Delmarva are already under 
Hurricane Warnings.
That's not a guarantee that hurricane conditions will develop Saturday in these two northern counties. The probabilities are put at up to 11 percent. The probability for Tropical Storm conditions have risen, however, to 75 percent.
Nearer Baltimore, we're getting reports that local grocery stores are being hit hard by residents seeking to load up on supplies in case they're stuck without power, or cut off by downed trees and flooded roads.
The Giant Foods store in Hunt Valley was said to be cleaned out of bottled water. Whole Foods in Mt. Washington was "picked clean... of everything," according to our reporter.
What are you seeing out there? Are you stocking up? Is this the summertime equivalent of a snowstorm run on the stores?

Everyone gets bread, milk and eggs before a hurricane or blizzard. So do y'all have huge French toast parties?

Was at the Save-A-Lot on Maryland Ave. about 7:00 PM. Lots of water in bottles and TP, but NO bread to speak of.
Oh, and punkflamingo? In the Baltimore and DC areas, it's not bread, milk and eggs. It's bread, milk and TP.
Oh, and your "y'all" gives you away as a non-resident of the area.
