Howdy all!

This is Hurricane Bonnie Report #6 (and last rpt) from the
Visitor Center Overlook at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power
Plant (CCNPP), open 10am-4pm daily.  Each of my observations
from the Overlook are for 10-minute intervals.

Still warm and sticky.  Cloudy.  Haze is back.  No rain
since about 1:30pm.  Sustained winds at 30+ mph from the
East with gusts now probably close to 40mph.  Chesapeake Bay
waters choppy and rough.  Tough to stand still...

#6 8/27/98 4:00pm
